This is the description of the namespace http://docs.g-vo.org/rdf/voresource/relationship_type as of 2016-08-17.
This vocabulary enumerates the kinds of relationships between VO resources that can be relevant in discovery or maintenance. Many of the terms are taken from the relationType enumeration in the DataCite metadata kernel. Operationally important concepts missing there (e.g., served-by) were drawn from VOResource 1.0.
| Predicate | Label | Description | Parent | Preferred |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mirror-of | is a mirror of | This resource is a mirror (reasonably faithful reproduction) of the referenced resource. This is a VOResource 1.0 term deprecated in favour of IsIdenticalTo. | #IsIdenticalTo | |
| service-for | is a service for | This resource makes data from the referenced resource (typcally some sort for data collection) available. This is a VOResource 1.0 term deprecated in favour of IsServiceFor. | #IsServiceFor | |
| served-by | is served by | This resource can be accessed or otherwise used through the referenced service. This is a VOResource 1.0 term deprecated in favour of IsServedBy. | #IsServedBy | |
| derived-from | is derived from | This resource was produced using data from the referenced resource. This is a VOResource 1.0 term deprecated in favour of IsDerivedFrom. | #IsDerivedFrom | |
| related-to | is related to | This resource has some unspecified relationship to the referenced resource. This is a VOResource 1.0 term that should no longer be used in new resource records. Use specific terms instead. | ||
| Cites | cites | This resource makes use of the referenced resource. This is in particular to reference tools like programs from educational material like tutorials. It is not intended to track citations in a bibliographic sense. | ||
| IsSupplementTo | is supplement to | This resource augments the referenced resource (inverse of IsSupplementedBy) | ||
| IsSupplementedBy | is supplemented by | Additional material pertaining to this resource is available at the referenced resource (inverse of IsSupplementedTo) | ||
| IsContinuedBy | is continued by | This resource has been or will be discontinued, and clients should turn to the referenced resource (inverse of Continues) | ||
| Continues | continues | This resource has taken up the service of the referenced resource (inverse of IsContinuedBy) | ||
| IsNewVersionOf | is new version of | The referenced resource has been developed on, and this resource should be used in preference (inverse of IsPreviousVersionOf) | ||
| IsPreviousVersionOf | is previous version of | This resource has been developed on, and the referenced resource should be used for more up-to-date information (inverse of NewVersionOf) | ||
| IsPartOf | is part of | The referenced resource is a collection of some sort, perhaps a series, and this resource is a part of that collection (inverse of HasPart) | ||
| HasPart | has part | This is resource is a collection of other resources, and this relationship points to the individual parts (inverse of IsPartOf) | ||
| IsSourceOf | is source of | This is resource has been used to produce the referenced resource (inverse of derived-from) | ||
| IsDerivedFrom | is derived from | This resource was produced using data from the referenced resource (inverse of IsSourceOf) | ||
| IsIdenticalTo | is a identical to | This resource is identical to the referenced resource, for use when there is a need to register two separate instances of the same resource. In a VO context, this will typcially indicate mirrors operated by different publishers (mirrors with identical publishers use interface/mirrorURL elements). | ||
| IsServiceFor | is a service for | This resource makes data from the referenced resource (typcally some sort for data collection) available (inverse of IsServedBy) | ||
| IsServedBy | is served by | This resource can be accessed or otherwise used through the referenced service (inverse of IsServiceFor) |
