CitedDocument entity

CitedDocument entity is an ExternalReference that describes a specific document in an external repository.

  • numberOfPages - Number of pages that this external source has.
  • pageRange - Range of pages that this reference covers. For example, if it is a journal article, this could be the range of pages for the article in the journal.
  • publicationSeries - Name of the journal or series of publications that this external source is from.
  • publicationSeriesVolume - Name of the volume in the publication series that this external source is from.
  • publisher - Name of the publisher responsible for producing this external source.
  • edition - Name of the edition for this external source.
  • firstPublicationDate - Date of the first published version/edition of this external source.
  • publicationDate - Date when this version/edition of this external source was published.
  • publicationCity - City where the publishers are based.
  • publicationYear - Year when the publication of this version/edition of the external source was published.
  • publicationNumbers - List of unique numbers allocated by the publisher for this external source. For example ISBN, ASIN, UNSPSC code.

CitedDocumentLink connects a Referenceable to a CitedDocument entity. It allows a referenceId and a precise page range (pages attribute) to be specified along with a short description of the relevance of the citation. This relationship is a multi-link relationship so the same referenceable can link to the same cited document multiple times, with different referenceIds.

  • referenceId - Local identifier for the reference.
  • description - Description of the element or associated resource in free-text.
  • pages - Range of pages in the external reference that this link refers.
