Introduction

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 - using the criteria discussed in the paper by David Shotton entitled The Five Stars of Online Journal Articles — a Framework for Article Evaluation, published in D-Lib Magazine 18 (1/2) (January/February 2012 issue). doi: https://doi.org/10.1045/january2012-shotton. The ontology is simple, consisting only of those data properties required to permit a rating for each of the five stars, and for the paper as a whole, to be recorded as an integer, together with an associated comment. It is intended for use by publishers and others wishing to encode Five Stars ratings for individual papers in machine-readable form. Other ontologies, for example DCMI Metadata Terms (http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/) and FaBiO, the FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology (http://purl.org/spar/fabio), may be used to describe other aspects of a journal article, e.g. authors, journal name, and publication year.
