Abstract

A scientific citation is usually represented as a relation between two publications without any precise meaning and inner structure. In fact, the structure of a citation, which is usually not represented explicitly, can be quite complicated. In our previous papers, we have proposed so-called expanded citations which allow representing the structure of a citation in a machine-readable way. In this short paper, we present and discuss selected structures of citations. In particular, we consider their meaning and possible application.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Our considerations apply to any scientific publication. Throughout this paper, the publications are also referred to as papers, articles or books. We do not distinguish between them.

  2. 2.

    For simplicity, we do not use URIs in our examples. We also do not use object properties from any particular ontology.
