Hi,

Although the term "citation" is used several times among the bibo
pages it is not used in the sense of a property or relationship (but
on a meta-level to describe a whole dataset described with bibo). Are
there any suggestions, plans, objections etc. to include a citation
property in bibo?

There is a Citation Typing Ontology (cito) - which I do not fully
agree with - that includes the basic relations "cites" and
"isCitedBy": http://imageweb.zoo.ox.ac.uk/pub/2009/citobase/cito-20090505-1.3/cito-content/owldoc/
Could bibo include these or refer to these? More detailed citation
types should not be part of bibo but at least the basic relationship
to connect two bibliographic works.

I added the cito:isCitedBy property to a SeeAlso linkserver so you can
lookup which German Wikipedia articles cite a given work by ISBN:
http://ws.gbv.de/seealso/isbn2wikipedia/3-447-03706-7 does support
content negotiation

Greetings,
Jakob

It certainly makes to describe these relationships in conjunction with
BIBO. But I don't really know how best to do that. What do you mean
"include these"? Are you suggesting importing those cito properties?

As full cito is just a draft that has not been discussed and used
enough I would not want to import the whole ontology, but we could add
two relations two bibo. The relations are also same as or subtypes of
dcterms:references/isReferencedBy which is not restricted in range an
domain:


@prefix cito: <http://purl.org/net/cito/> .

bibo:cites
rdfs:label "cites"@en ;
rdfs:comment "Relates a document to another document that is cited
by the first document as reference, comment, review, quotation or for
another purpose"@en ;
owl:sameAs cito:cites ;
owl:sameAs dcterms:references ;
rdfs:range bibo:Document ;
rdfs:domain bibo:Document .

bibo:citedBy
rdfs:label "cited by"@en ;
rdfs:comment "Relates a document to another document that cites the
first document."@en ;
owl:sameAs cito:isCitedBy ;
owl:sameAs dcterms:isReferencedBy ;
owl:owl:inverseOf bibo:cited .


We can later add special kind of citation types, for instance "review"
or "comment" but in general citation should mean that one document
explicitely refers to another document.

Fred, can we add this? Where do we stand with the rest of the stuff
for 1.3?

Hi Bruce!

Added locally. We only have to check the legal status stuff, and we will
be ready.


Thanks!


Fred
