Re: Modeling the author's position from research papers into RDF graph

Dear David, 

We appreciate your contribution. This is exactly the behavior that we need. We will check these approaches in depth. We hope to contribute with the community with relevant feedback. 

Kind regards.

| Asunto: Re: Modeling the author's position from research papers into
| RDF graph

| Dear Yusniel,

| We use the Collections Ontology ( http://purl.org/co ) as a
| convenient way to create ordered lists of authors (or of other
| things, e.g. ordered lists of references in a reference list).

| As we state in our recent paper [1]:

| | 4.4.1 Using external models
| 

| | As already mentioned, FaBiO was developed with the minimum of
| | restrictions to its classes and to the domains and ranges of its
| | properties. This flexibility has the great advantage of allowing
| | FaBiO to be used together with other ontologies. We have already
| | seen how FOAF can be used to describe agents. Another common
| | requirement is that of specifying the order of components in a
| | list,
| | for example authors in an author list or references in a reference
| | list. Unlike the use of bibo:authorList , which breaks OWL 2 DL
| | compliance as explained above, this can be achieved in a manner
| | that
| | is compliant with the decidable and computable OWL 2 DL by
| | combining
| | FaBiO with the Collections Ontology (CO), an OWL 2 DL ontology
| | specifically designed for defining orders among items, in the
| | following way:
| 

| | | :intertextual-semantics a fabio:ResearchPaper ; dcterms:creator
| | | :listOfAuthors . :listOfAuthors a co:List ; co:firstItem
| | | [co:itemContent :marcoux ; co:nextItem [co:itemContent :rizkallah
| | | ]
| | | ] .
| | 
| 
| | In this way we can still keep the model in OWL 2 DL. Additionally,
| | because the ranges of dcterms:creator and other properties within
| | FaBiO have intentionally been left unspecified, FaBiO guarantees a
| | level of interoperation with other models without incurring in any
| | undesirable collateral effects, such as ontology inconsistencies or
| | the generation of undesired inferences.
| 

| Please also check out SCoRO, the Scholarly Contributions and Roles
| Ontology ( http://purl.org/spar/scoro/ ), described in my recent
| blog post at
| http://semanticpublishing.wordpress.com/2013/04/19/scoro/ , and
| SCoRF, the Scholarly Contributions Report Form (
| http://purl.org/spar/scoro/scorf/ ), described in my recent blog
| post at http://semanticpublishing.wordpress.com/2013/04/19/scorf/ .

| Since authorship position means different things in different
| academic disciplines, SCoRO permits authorship roles (e.g. Principal
| author, Corresponding Author, Senior Author) to be specified
| explicitly, irrespective of the position of that person's name in
| the author list.

| It also has the advantage that it employs a standard ontology design
| pattern called the Time-indexed Value in Context Pattern (TVC) [2]
| that permits roles to be specified in specific contexts (e.g.
| PersonA is Senior Author in the context of PaperB, but Editor in the
| context of PaperC) and over defined time periods (e.g. PersonD is
| Editor-in-Chief of JournalE between StartDate and EndDate). This use
| of TVC gives complete flexibility and control over the expression of
| roles and contributions, unlike all other ways implemented in RDF of
| which I am aware.

| I hope this helps.

| Kind regards,

| David

| | | Hello community,
| | 
| 

| | | I am having troubles for modeling the position behavior of
| | | authors
| | | in
| | | research papers. I have a relational database with three tables:
| | 
| 
| | | author (authorID, name)
| | 
| 
| | | paper (paperID, title, abstract, date) and many-to-many
| | | relationship
| | 
| 
| | | author_paper (authorID, paperID, position)
| | 
| 

| | | the position attribute is the order (integer) of author N into
| | | the
| | | paper M (e.g: first author, second author...)
| | 
| 

| | | I want to generate a RDF graph from this relational database. In
| | | this
| | | step, I am testing D2RQ platform [1], however, the RDF graph
| | | obtained isn't the desired.
| | 
| 

| | | Any idea about how to capture the author's position into RDF
| | | graph
| | | from a relational database?
| | 
| 

| | | Best regards.
