Mappings
| Class in CiTO | CiTO Definition | Mappings in SWAN |
| cito:Work | As defined by FRBR (http://www.ifla.org/VII/s13/frbr/frbr1.htm), a Work is a distinct intellectual or artistic creation - an abstract entity that is recognised through its various expressions. In CiTO, the definition of Work is restricted to Works that cite or are cited, primarily works of scholarship that contain bibliographic references, rather than artistic works such as plays or photographs that do not. For this reason cito:Work is a subclass of frbr:Work. Consequently, cito:Expression and cito:Manifestation are also made subclasses of their respective FRBR classes. | - |
| cito:Expression | As defined by FRBR (http://www.ifla.org/VII/s13/frbr/frbr1.htm), an Expression is the specific form that a Work takes each time it is 'realized' in physical or electronic form. For CiTO, it is usually the final published Expression of the Work, known to publishers as the 'version of record', which is critical, since it is the references within this version of record that are definitive, and it is the version of record itself that is cited by others. However, when citing Web Information Objects, it is their Manifestations that are normally the targets of the citations. | swanci:Expression |
| cito:Manifestation | As defined by FRBR (http://www.ifla.org/VII/s13/frbr/frbr1.htm), a Manifestation of an Expression of a Work defines its particular embodiment. cito:Manifestation applies to electronic (digital) as well as to physical Manifestations of Expressions. Examples of different Manifestations of a single 'version of record' Expression of a scholarly Work include an Article in a print Journal, the on-line version of that article as an HTML Web Page, and as an Online Document in the form of a downloadable PDF version of the same article. When citing Web Information Objects, it is their Manifestations that are normally the targets of the citations, rather than their Expressions. | swanci:Citation |
