Add Datacite types and properties to HDO
Problem
I would like to complete the mapping of the datacite schema to schema.org, however I cannot find appropriate types and properties in other ontologies. I was wondering if the HDO would be a suitable place the missing entities.
Backround-Info
The datacite commons API provides metadata in json (compliant with the datacite schema) and in json-ld (schema.org). However the mapping from datacite to schema.org ist incomplete. That results in the loss of information when data is requestet in json-ld.
The GBV (Gemeinsamer Bibliotheksverbund) terminology service provided a namespace to datacite entities and defined them via skos. Therefore it possible to add datacite-resource-types via @type
or schema:additionalType
to any (incomplete) schema.org mapping. However the GBV defined all datacite resources as skos:Concept
or skos:ConceptScheme
even datacite relation types, which makes it impossible to model relationships between nodes with datacite context.
The most important missing property is datacite:Collects / datacite:IsCollectedBy. Which relates a dataset to an instrument. Missing datacite resource types (such as datacite:Instrument) are annoying but not as problematic as missing relation types since there is a default resource type which is schema:CreativeWork.
Mapped relation types:
- datacite:IsIdenticalTo => schema:sameAs
- datacite:IsPartOf => schema:isPartOf
- datacite:HasPart => schema:hasPart
- datacite:IsPreviousVersionOf => schema:predecessor_of
- datacite:IsNewVersionOf => schema:successor_of
- datacite:References => schema:citation
- datacite:HasTranslation => schema:workTranslation
- datacite:IsTranslationOf => schema:translationOfWork
Missing realation types:
- datacite:IsCitedBy / datacite:Cites
- datacite:IsSupplementTo / datacite:IsSupplementedBy
- datacite:IsContinuedBy / datacite:Continues
- datacite:IsPublishedIn / datacite:IsReferencedBy
- datacite:References
- datacite:IsDocumentedBy / datacite:Documents
- datacite:IsCompiledBy / datacite:Compiles
- datacite:IsVariantFormOf
- datacite:IsOriginalFormOf
- datacite:HasMetadata / datacite:IsMetadataFor
- datacite:Reviews / datacite:IsReviewedBy
- datacite:IsDerivedFrom / datacite:IsSourceOf
- datacite:Describes / datacite:IsDescribedBy
- datacite:HasVersion / datacite:IsVersionOf
- datacite:Requires / datacite:IsRequiredBy
- datacite:Obsoletes / datacite:IsObsoletedBy
- datacite:Collects / datacite:IsCollectedBy
Missing data types
- datacite:InteractiveResource => nil

- datacite:OutputManagementPlan => nil
- datacite:PhysicalObject => nil
- datacite:Preprint => nil
- datacite:Standard => nil
- datacite:StudyRegistration
- datacite:Workflow => nil
Mapped data types
- datacite:Audiovisual => schema:MediaObject
- datacite:Book => schema:Book

- datacite:Collection => schema:Collection
- datacite:ComputationalNotebook => schema:SoftwareSourceCode
- datacite:ConferencePaper => schema:Article
- datacite:ConferenceProceeding => schema:Periodical
- datacite:DataPaper => schema:Article

- datacite:Service => schema:Service
- datacite:Software => schema:SoftwareSourceCode
- datacite:Sound => schema:AudioObject
- datacite:Text => schema:ScholaryArticle
- datacite:Other => schema:CreativeWork
not part of DataCite schema, but used internally
- datacite:Periodical => schema:Periodical
- datacite:DataCatalog => schema:DataCatalog
- datacite:Award => schema:Grant
- datacite:Project" => schema:Project

This is what I found so far in my research:
An ontology that might work:
- DISCO "A vocabulary for publishing metadata about data sets (research and survey data) into the Web of Linked Data"
Other ontologies mentioning "Instruments"
- The Modern Science Ontology (modsci)
- DDI-RDF Discovery Vocabulary (disco)
- dati
- gbv datacite
- ICOS
- CODATA Research Data Management Terminology
- PolyMat ontology
- linked earth ontology
- Theia/OZCAR
- AERIS Thesaurus
