Ontology Specification Draft

Abstract

The DataCite Ontology is an ontology written in OWL 2 DL to enable the metadata properties of the [DataCite Metadata Schema (version 4.7)](https://datacite-metadata-schema.readthedocs.io/en/4.7/) to be described in RDF.

Introduction back to ToC

This is a place holder text for the introduction. The introduction should briefly describe the ontology, its motivation, state of the art and goals.

The DataCite Ontology: Overview back to ToC

This ontology has the following classes and properties.

Named Individuals

Description

The DataCite Ontology (or simply DataCite) is an ontology written in OWL 2 DL to enable the metadata properties of the DataCite Metadata Schema (version 4.7) to be described in RDF.

A diagram of the DataCite Ontology.

The main intent of the DataCite Ontology is to provide a flexible mechanism to define identifiers for bibliographic resources (e.g., papers and datasets) and related entities (e.g., authors). To this end, DataCite uses the object property datacite:hasIdentifier, which has as its object a member of the class datacite:Identifier or of one of its sub-classes (datacite:ResourceIdentifier, datacite:AgentIdentifier or datacite:RightsIdentifier). In turn, datacite:AgentIdentifier is further sub-classed by three additional classes, i.e., datacite:PersonalIdentifier, datacite:OrganizationIdentifier, and datacite:FunderIdentifier. The exact nature of the identifier is then defined using the second DataCite object property datacite:usesIdentifierScheme, which has as its object the class datacite:IdentifierScheme or one of its sub-classes: datacite:ResourceIdentifierScheme, datacite:AgentIdentifierScheme or datacite:RightsIdentifierScheme. datacite:AgentIdentifierScheme is further sub-classed by three additional classes, i.e., datacite:PersonalIdentifierScheme, datacite:OrganizationIdentifierScheme, and datacite:FunderIdentifierScheme. This provides a robust method for defining identifiers, since each specific identifier is defined as an individual member of its appropriate identifier scheme class. Of course, existing identifier schemes have been already defined within the ontology. For instance:

As need arises, new identifiers can be added later as new members of each class, without having to modify the structure of the DataCite Ontology. In addition, some members, i.e., datacite:local-resource-identifier-scheme, datacite:local-personal-identifier-scheme, datacite:local-organization-identifier-scheme and datacite:local-funder-identifier-scheme, have been already added to permit the use of local identifiers.

The class datacite:DescriptionType, and the object properties datacite:hasDescription and datacite:hasDescriptionType, have also been defined in order to link an entity to another item representing an entity description of a particular type. This is defined using the property datacite:hasDescriptionType, which must have as its object one of the members of the class datacite:DescriptionType, i.e., datacite:abstract, datacite:methods, datacite:other, datacite:series-information and datacite:table-of-content. In this way, it is possible to associate written documents (e.g. journal articles or data articles) as descriptions of datasets.

It is also possible to provide a link between a resource, such as a dataset, and the document describing its metadata by means of the Citation Typing Ontology (CiTO), using the property cito:citesAsMetadataDocument, and the FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology (FaBiO), by means of the class fabio:MetadataDocument. In addition to these entities, the DataCite Ontology provides appropriate classes (i.e., datacite:MetadataScheme) and properties (i.e., datacite:hasMetadataScheme) to specify the particular scheme followed for creating the resource metadata exemplified in the metadata document.

Finally, with the DataCite Ontology, it is possible to represent situations where a given relation between two entities needs to be qualified in some way, e.g. with a description that specifies the nature of said relation. This is provided by the class datacite:QualifiedRelation, which represents a certain relationship existing between two entities. The qualified relation is linked with one entity (more specifically, the subject of the relation) via the object property datacite:hasRelationSubject, and with the other (the object of the relation) via the object property datacite:hasRelationObject. The type of relation itself is defined via the property datacite:hasRelationCharacterization, which links a qualified relation to its characterization made by using an object property such as dcterms:relation, cito:cites, or frbr:isPartOf. This usage involves OWL2 punning, a mechanism according to which an object property can be used as the object of an OWL assertion by being considered simultaneously both as a normal property and also as a named individual of the class owl:Thing.

Examples of use

In the following subsections, we introduce some examples to showcase how to use the DataCite Ontology.

The prefixes that are used in all the examples provided below are defined as follows:

Datasets' DOIs and authors' ORCIDs

DataCite allows one to associate identifiers to a bibliographic entity (e.g., a dataset, a person, an article) specifying their exact nature by means of the object property datacite:usesIdentifierScheme. In addition, it is also possible, through the object property datacite:hasDescription, to link an entity to another item representing an entity description of a particular type. This is defined using the property datacite:hasDescriptionType, which must have as its object one of the members of the class datacite:DescriptionType, i.e., datacite:abstract, datacite:other, datacite:series-information, datacite:methods, and datacite:table-of-content. In this way, it is possible to associate written documents (e.g., journal articles) as descriptions of datasets.
