About the biblink terms, the usual convention in the web-semantics world is to have:

  • capitalised terms for classes ;
  • camel-case with lower case first letter for properties.

Hence, I would propose to rename the terms as:

  • BibRef (class)
  • DatasetRef (class)
  • Relationship (class)
  • bibFormat (property)
  • anchorText (property)
  • cardinality (property)
  • cites (property)
  • isSupplementedBy (property)

To come back to the proposed relations (cites and isSupplementedBy), I am puzzled by the cites relation. The text says: Cites is used when bib-ref derives results from dataset-ref.

If you check the Datacite relation types, you can see that:

  • Cites means the bib-ref includes the dataset-ref in a citation.

In our case, it is not true. If it were, ADS would already parse the reference and would list already.

In the Datacite relation type vocabulary, the closest match would be isDerivedFrom. Following the Datacite words, using this term would imply: dataset-ref is a source upon which bib-ref is based. I think this is very close to what is meant by the current text in the note.

I understand that the IVOA relation type vocabulary is excluding the Datacite meaning, but I would argue that we should align with them rather than adopt the same term with non-compatible definitions. I can propose a VEP, if needed.

About the actual citation of data in papers, guess what: this already exists. I do it, and many colleagues do this too.

Examples:

Those data citations are identified in ADS, and are listed in the datasources.

There are other less formal citation, where a DOI is cited in a footnote, as in: https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202346144, which cites https://doi.org/10.24414/2qfw-tr95 in a footnote (that was a A&A policy at some point).

However, those are explicit citations in the text (sometimes with an actual citation in the bibliographic references). Hence, I'd rather used the isDerivedFrom relation, which is more explicit.
