GoTriple Document Ontology

An abstract class defining any kind of agents, such as a person, a group, an organization or a software agent.

Regarding documents, it is also important to highlight another entity: the "cluster". This term, like documents, originates from technical choices in the platform's definition. A cluster is technically a group of documents considered by the system as "duplicates" of a single document. Often, these documents include not only duplicates but also manifestations of a version of a document (see FRBR alignment with Fabio). To represent this entity, a specific class for the GoTriple ontology was adopted: triple:Cluster. The triple:Cluster was represented using an Ontology Design Pattern (ODP), specifically the Collection pattern. The triple:Cluster class corresponds to the owl:Collection class. As members, it enumerates the manifestations contained in fabio:Manifestation of a triple:Document.

An idea or notion; a unit of thought.

A set of concepts, optionally including statements about semantic relationships between those concepts.

An abstract class defining any kinds of publishing work.

In the GoTriple platform, the central entity of the ontology is represented by documents. Technically, in GoTriple, the term "documents" refers to the Elasticsearch index that stores all research artefacts imported from external data providers. As emphasized throughout this work, GoTriple is a discovery platform—it does not create resources but aggregates them from a variety of external data providers. The primary objective of the platform is to offer a single access point to resources within the realm of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). More broadly, a research artefact (referred to as a document in GoTriple) encompasses any tangible or intangible output produced during academic or scientific research. These artefacts are the essential elements that document, support, and communicate research results, as well as the data and methodologies employed during the research process. The various types of documents available in GoTriple are classified through the controlled vocabulary known as "document types." A detailed description of these controlled vocabularies will be provided later in this section. To formalise this entity, GoTriple defines the class triple:Document. As described in the sections covering FRBR and FaBio (refer to the section on FRBR alignment with FaBio), in addition to this class, it was necessary to reuse the existing classes foaf:Document and fabio:Expression.

A subclass of FRBR expression, restricted to expressions of fabio:Works. For your latest research paper, the preprint submitted to the publisher, and the final published version to which the publisher assigned a unique digital object identifier, are both expressions of the same work.

An identifier that uniquely identities an entity – such as a funding agency, a person and a resource – belonging to a particular scheme such as those specified by individuals of the class datacite:IdentifierScheme.

An identifier that uniquely identities an entity belonging to a particular scheme such as those specified by individuals of the class datacite:IdentifierScheme.

The identifier scheme used to identify an entity such as a funding agency, a person or a resource. Individual schemes are defines as members of this class.

The identifier scheme used to identify an entity such as a funding agency, a person or a resource. Individual schemes are defines as members of this class.

Natural languages such as Spanish, Tamil, Hindi, English, etc. Formal language code tags expressed in BCP 47 can be used via the alternateName property. The Language type previously also covered programming languages such as Scheme and Lisp, which are now best represented using ComputerLanguage.

A subclass of FRBR manifestation, restricted to manifestations of fabio:Expressions. fabio:Manifestation specifically 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 or the on-line version of that article as a web page.

The Organization class represents a kind of Agent corresponding to social instititutions such as companies, societies etc.

The Person class represents people. Something is a Person if it is a person. We don't nitpic about whether they're alive, dead, real, or imaginary. The Person class is a sub-class of the Agent class, since all people are considered 'agents' in FOAF.

Entities that have a somewhat fixed, physical extension.

A role an agent may have. Individual members of this class or its sub-classes are used to specify particular roles.

A particular situation that describe a role an agent may have, that can be restricted to a particular time interval.

Two (starting and ending) points in time that define a particular period of time.

A time interval during which a role is held or a contribution is made by an agent.

skos:closeMatch is used to link two concepts that are sufficiently similar that they can be used interchangeably in some information retrieval applications. In order to avoid the possibility of "compound errors" when combining mappings across more than two concept schemes, skos:closeMatch is not declared to be a transitive property.

As defined by FRBR (http://www.ifla.org/VII/s13/frbr/frbr1.htm; http://purl.org/vocab/frbr/core#embodiment), a property representing a manifestation that embodies an expression.

skos:exactMatch is used to link two concepts, indicating a high degree of confidence that the concepts can be used interchangeably across a wide range of information retrieval applications. skos:exactMatch is a transitive property, and is a sub-property of skos:closeMatch.

An object property specifying a datacite:Identifier that provides a unique identifer for the entity (either a funder, a person or a resource).

Relates, by convention, a concept scheme to a concept which is topmost in the broader/narrower concept hierarchies for that scheme, providing an entry point to these hierarchies.

The language of the content or performance or used in an action. Please use one of the language codes from the IETF BCP 47 standard. See also availableLanguage.

A property relating a document to the role for which that document provides the context (e.g. relating a document to the role of author or peer-reviewer of that document).

A property relating a role in time that an agent holds, or a contribution situation that an agent makes, to that agent.

Relates a resource (for example a concept) to a concept scheme in which it is included.

Keywords or tags used to describe some item. Multiple textual entries in a keywords list are typically delimited by commas, or by repeating the property.

The spatialCoverage of a CreativeWork indicates the place(s) which are the focus of the content. It is a subproperty of contentLocation intended primarily for more technical and detailed materials. For example with a Dataset, it indicates areas that the dataset describes: a dataset of New York weather would have spatialCoverage which was the place: the state of New York.

An object property permitting specification of the identifier scheme used to provide the identifier for an entity – either a funder, a person or a resource – defined as an individual of the class datacite:IdentifierScheme.

An object property permitting specification of the identifier scheme used to provide the identifier for an entity – either a funder, a person or a resource – defined as an individual of the class datacite:IdentifierScheme.

The link between a metadata document and the scheme followed for creating metadata.

An object property connecting an agent's role in time to a definition of the type of role held by this agent, specified as an instance of the class pro:Role or of one of its sub-classes.
