support for structured abstracts #4

Subclass of Abstract, but may also contain rhetorical elements in article?

sballesteros commented 9 years ago

Not sure we need a subclass of Abstract but more additional class for the parts of a structured abstract e.g Background. 

<section typeof="article:Abstract">
  <p typeof="article:Background">...</p>
  <p typeof="article:Results">...</p>
</section>

I think pubmed has a good recommendation on structured abstracts

See https://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/policy/structured_abstracts.html

Standardized formats for structured abstracts have been defined for original research studies, review articles and clinical practice guidelines (1,2). The IMRAD format (INTRODUCTION, METHODS, RESULTS, DISCUSSION), a defacto standard that reflects the process of scientific discovery (3), is commonly used as a structure for journal abstracts (4,5). The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) Group issued a guideline for how to report randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in journal and conference abstracts using a structured format (6).

yep I'm aware of that. Science articles sometime have both a regular abstract and a (usually) longer structured abstract, and hence my subclassing suggestion.

sballesteros commented 9 years ago

makes sense, I wonder if for the short abstract we should not use schema:description

It seems to be the direction schema.org wants to take see this discussion where I made the case for structured abstract https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/pull/228

closing as https://github.com/scienceai/rhetorical-classifier/issues/1 was closed without needing more classes
