SPAR Ontologies

This module of BiDO describes a list of possible bibliometric measures tha can be used to define bibliometric data of publication-related entities, e.g.: h-index, e-index, journal impact factor, author citation count.

The core module of BiDO allows us to describe any entity and the related bibliometric data at a certain time and according to a certain agent responsible for such bibliometric data. In addition, BiDO imports PROV-O for adding provenance data about the activities related to the creation of such bibliometric data.

The DataCite Ontology is an ontology written in OWL 2 DL to enable the metadata properties of the DataCite Metadata Kernel Specification version 4.7 to be described in RDF.

This vocabulary is an expression in OWL 2 DL of the basic concepts and relations described in the IFLA report on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), also described in Ian Davis's RDF vocabulary (http://vocab.org/frbr/core).

The Five Stars of Online Research Articles Ontology is an ontology written in OWL 2 DL to enable characterization of the five attributes of an online journal article - peer review, open access, enriched content, available datasets and machine-readable metadata.

SCoRO is written in OWL 2 DL, and imports FOAF, the Friend of a Friend Ontology (http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/) and PRO the Publishing Roles Ontology (http://purl.org/spar/pro/). This ontology is available at http://purl.org/spar/scoro/, and uses the namespace prefix 'scoro'.

The Publishing Workflow Ontology (PWO) is an ontology for describing the workflow associated with the publication of a document. It forms part of SPAR, a suite of Semantic Publishing and Referencing Ontologies.

PRO, the Publishing Roles Ontology, is an ontology written in OWL 2 DL for the characterization of the roles of agents (people, corporate bodies and computational agents) in the publication process. It permits one to specify how an agent has a role relating to a contextual entity, and the period of time during which that role is held.

PSO, the Publishing Status Ontology, is an ontology for describing the status held by a bibliographic document or other publication entity at each of the various stages in the publishing process. It forms part of SPAR, a suite of Semantic Publishing and Referencing Ontologies. Other SPAR ontologies are described at http://purl.org/spar/.

The Citation Counting and Context Characterization Ontology (C4O) is an ontology for characterizing the number and contexts of bibliographic citations. It forms part of SPAR, a suite of Semantic Publishing and Referencing Ontologies.
