Order Of Authors In Publications

[tobiasschweizer]

Find a way to express the order of authors (first author, second author ...) for a publication.

idea: use rdf star to annotate the authorship attribution.

Update: I quickly tried this out with Blazegraph 2.1.6 using a standalone JAR. Turns out that Blazegraph supports RDF-star and SPARQL-star

Sources:

• https://github.com/sroertgen/homepage/blob/master/posts/6_reification.md#what-about-sparql
• I got the JAR from here: https://github.com/blazegraph/database/releases/tag/BLAZEGRAPH_2_1_6_RC Note that you can define a port since we already use 9999: java -server -Xmx4g -Djetty.port=19999 -jar blazegraph.jar, see https://wiki.app.uib.no/info216/index.php/Lab:_SPARQL

Make sure to choose RDR (Reification Done Right) when adding the triples. I created a namespace with n-quads config before. So I guess this could work. However, we would have to use SPARQL-Star instead then. I think we should further test this with some real word examples before we can reach a decision.

@9ABert9 At the moment, we can not store the order of authors in RESCS. Therefore, there is no way to represent the first, second etc. author of a given publication.

@9ABert9 This seems related: https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1864

Interestingly the conclusion is:

Schema.org is not really meant for that kind of precise data type modeling. It is intended to be an interchange mechanism for structured data.

https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1864#issuecomment-375325846

So they say that the level of details is limited in schema.org as opposed to bibliographical ontologies such as BIBFRAME, BIBO.
