Relationships

(according to v. 1.6 of CiTO) - work in progress

Namespaces

cito:isAnEmbodimentOf - As defined by FRBR (http://www.ifla.org/VII/s13/frbr/frbr1.htm), the relationship between a Manifestation and the Expression being manifested (inverseOf cito:isEmbodiedIn)
domain cito:Manifestation
range cito:Expression
cito:isRealizedThrough - As defined by FRBR (http://www.ifla.org/VII/s13/frbr/frbr1.htm), the relationship between a Work and its Expression (inverseOf cito:isARealizationOf)
domain cito:Work
range cito:Expression
cito:cites - A statement of fact that the citing Work cites the cited Work. [This is implicit in human-readable reference lists, and need not be stated when annotating them using CiTO. However, the statement is useful in machine-readable metadata for construction of citation networks and other purposes.] (inverseOf cito:isCitedBy)
domain Thing
range Thing

Comment 1 - Paolo Ciccarese on 2010-02-28: Both CiTO and SWAN are not defining constraints on the usage of "cites". This makes them compatible. However the sub-properties supports, discusses and refutes have a specific domain and range in SWAN. A possible solution could be to drop the three swan sub-properties in favor of those proposed by CiTO

Response 1 - David Shotton on 2010-03-31: We agreed by Skype that because SWAN needs these concepts to refer to steps in a responsive rhetorical discussion, while CiTO uses them to make blanket statements about the attitude of the citing author towards the cited paper, it would be better to keep the terms in SWAN, but to relabel them. I offered to suggest terms. How would this work?

Existing SWAN term Proposed SWAN term
swandisrel:inResponseTo swandisrel:respondsTo
swandisrel:disagreesWith swandisrel:respondsNegativelyTo
swandisrel:agreesWith swandisrel:respondsPositivelyTo
swandisrel:discusses swandisrel:respondsNeutrallyTo

Comment 2 - Paolo Ciccarese on 2010-03-02: The relationship swanrel:cites is subproperty of swanrel:refersTo. Maybe I can simply substitute swanrel:cites with cito:cites and define cito:cites as subproperty of swan:refersTo. This is important to map back to the SIOC property sioc:related_to.

Response 2 David Shotton on 2010-03-31: I am happy for you to substitute cito:cites in place of swandisrel:cites, and for you to make cito:cites a subproperty of swandisrel:refersTo, so that becomes a sub-sub-property of swandisrel:relatedTo and a sub-sub-sub-property of sioc:related_to.

However, if you are going to change all your swandisrel terms to active tense, you also might consider:

Existing SWAN term Proposed SWAN term
swandisrel:relatedTo swandisrel:relatesTo

since that will give a consistent active tense hierarchy:

swandisrel:relatesTo > swandisrel:refersTo > swandisrel:respondsTo > swandisrel:respondsPositivelyTo, etc.


Response 3 David Shotton on 2010-03-31: It is very important to note that CiTO properties are ALWAYS from the citing work to the cited work. Thus cito:supports means the reverse of swanc:citesAsSupportingEvidence, which is using the cited item to bring supporting evidence to the citing item. For this in CiTO we use the property cito:obtainsSupportFrom. Similarly, cito:discusses and cito:refutes are used when the citing work discusses or refutes the cited work. These usages are thus quite different from swanc:citesAsDiscussingEvidence and swanc:citesAsRefutingEvidence which brings discussing evidence or refuting evidence from the cited work - there are no equivalent property for these in CiTO, and seem to be no equivalent properties for cito:support, cito:discusses and cito:refutes in SWAN.

I have therefore modified your original table, below, to reflect the lack of corresponding classes between CiTO and SWAN, as far as I understand SWAN. Please check and comment.
