Background Network analysis Large-scale data analysis Social science Science of Science Quantify and predict scientific research and its resulting outcomes for Humanities Semantic Publishing The application of Semantic Web technologies in the scholarly publishing domain .
Background: Semantic Web technologies essentials ● What is it ? An extension of the World Wide Web -> the web of data that can be processed by machines ● How is that possible ? Resources on the web are described using the RDF data model: a Triple (subject, predicate, object), as a graph. subject object General definition predicate Document A cites Document B Semantic publishing Notable examples: OpenCitations, Wikidata/WikiCite, Springer Nature SciGraph, e Microsoft Academic Knowledge Graph Shotton, D. (2009). Semantic publishing: the coming revolution in scientific journal publishing. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1087/2009202
Purpose Analysis strategy: Citations in Humanities ● What are the common formalisms and constructional patterns adopted for citations inside Humanities documents (e.g. a classification according to the document sections) ? 1 ● What are the reasons, i.e. the citation function , to cite other works and what are the most important ones ? [1] Teufel, S., Siddharthan, A., & Tidhar, D. (2006). An annotation scheme for citation function.
The Research ● Resources Focus on journal article-oriented study fields . Books seems to be the most cited doc-type by humanities fields, yet less available. Literature and History are two highly reasonable study fields to take in consideration. ● Limitations The lower proportion of journal articles cited by humanities compared to the scientific oriented domains case; The local relevance ; The presence of a division between publications directed toward researchers and writings directed to a public audience … etc Methodologies ● The Semantic Publishing methods, E.g. using the CiTO (the Citation Typing Ontology) to semantically represent bibliographic citations, or the DataCite Ontology for resources identification … etc ● Desirable outcomes Broaden the knowledge over citations and their usage will lead future researchers improve their works and effectively address their research questions ; Developing new applications that assist the community into a functional usage of the discoveries made.
