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:CitationActviagmeow: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.
