Citation Intent

• CURIE: gmeow:CitationIntent
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/CitationIntent
• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/citations
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

The intent with which one entity cites another — a VALUE vocabulary (individuals, never subclasses) characterizing a gmeow:CitationAct. Bridged by reference to CiTO sub-properties (e.g. cito:citesAsDataSource). The set is open.

Structure

Subclass of: gufo:QualityValue

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:CitationIntent as a specialized kind of gufo:QualityValue. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use as the open value vocabulary for citation intent — referenced from a gmeow:CitationAct via gmeow:citationIntent, or extended with a new individual when a CiTO-style intent not yet seeded is needed.

Avoid when

• Avoid minting a subclass for a new intent (intents are individuals on an open vocabulary) and avoid using it where the contribution's weight, not the citation's purpose, is meant — that is gmeow:ContributionDegree.

How to use

• Reference a seeded gmeow:intent* individual from gmeow:citationIntent; extend by minting a new individual with rdfs:label and skos:definition, aligned to a CiTO sub-property by reference (Principle 5) rather than imported as axioms.

Examples

• ex:intent a gmeow:CitationIntent; rdfs:label "refutes"@en.
