Introduction

A vocabulary to describe a general data model for scholarly citations. It covers three primary classes: events, agents, and bibliographic reference types. It is designed to offer a solid general relational model for citation metadata, and also to provide a specific superset of reference types in standard formats like BibTeX, RIS, and Refer/Endnote.

Changes From Previous Version

Namespace

The URI for this vocabulary is

http://purl.org/net/biblio#

When used in XML documents the suggested prefix is biblio

Each class or property in the vocabulary has a URI constructed by appending a term name to the vocabulary URI. For example:

http://purl.org/net/biblio#presentedAt
http://purl.org/net/biblio#Agent

The term name for a class always starts with an uppercase character. Where the term name is comprised of multiple concatenated words, the leading character of each word will be an uppercase character. For example:

Agent
Person

The term name for a property always starts with an lowercase character. Where the term name is comprised of multiple concatenated words, the leading character of the second and each subsequent word will be an uppercase character. For example:

presentedAt
