The draft Terms of Use and the Community Best Practices documents (iMB5) refer to citation mechanisms to ensure proper acknowledgement of all published content. The proposal for the Business Metadata is envisaged also to allow automatic generation of citations.

Examples of Citations

Here follows examples of citation templates which are under consideration for building the citation mechanism within the iMarine web infrastructure.

OBIS

The Ocean Biogeographic Information System provides guidelines on citations for the database, for general citation of the OBIS website and for its webpages.

See full text of guidelines and examples at http://www.iobis.org/about/citation


Example (for database):

OBIS (YEAR). Global biodiversity indices from the Ocean Biogeographic Information System. Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO. Web. http://www.iobis.org (consulted on YYYY/MM/DD)

GBIF

The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) provides a downloadable document "Recommended practices for citation of data published through the GBIF network" at http://imsgbif.gbif.org/CMS_ORC/?doc_id=4659&download=1 accessed through http://www.gbif.org/resources/2381

FAO Data

FAO data http://data.fao.org/ provides the following citation standards:

  • FAO style
  • APA (6th ed.)
  • Chicago (Author-Date, 15th ed.)
  • Harvard (18th ed.)
  • MLA (7th ed.)

with download facilities as "EndNote" and "Export as Mendeley".

Example based on FAO style:

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. FISHSTAT. Global Capture Production (Dataset). (Latest update: 10 Jan 2014) Accessed (23 Jun 2014). URI: http://data.fao.org/ref/af556541-1c8e-4e98-8510-1b2cafba5935.html?version=1.0

ASFA

The Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA) is following the Anglo-American Cataloguing rules AACR2 http://www.aacr2.org

Example of ASFA bibliographic reference: ftp://ftp.fao.org/FI/asfa/faq/faq11_e.pdf

FAO FI Department

The citation mechanism for the FI web pages is based on metadata driven by the FiMES schema which includes FI proprietary and Dublin Core elements.

Example:

© FAO 2006-2014. Fisheries and Aquaculture Department. Capture fisheries. In: FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department [online]. Rome. Updated 9 June 2014. [Cited 23 June 2014]. http://www.fao.org/fishery/capture/en

Citations for derivative products

Principles

  • A derivative product is made of multiple contents from different sources with different owners.
  • As per current iMarine Terms of Use - in case of datasets constituting the derivative product - citations are expected to be referred at dataset level, not a record level.
  • Citations, beyond other information, give the way to understand the sources as well as the data owners and the copyright holders.
  • Citation can be also utilized to acknowledge iMarine.

Template for a citation of a derivative product

Based on the utilization of business metadata here follows a possible and draft template on how the citation for a derivative product can be built.


Owner* = dcterms:RightsHolder Context* = dcterms:Collection and/or dcterms:Dataset Authorship (Context or Subject area gives the scope in which a content is positioned. As a data collection, it indicates to which aggregation of resources the content is belonging to.) Author* = dc:Creator Title* = dc:Title Publisher = dc:Publisher Creation date = dcterms: Created Last update date* = dc:Date Expiry date = dcterms:Valid Contact Copyright licenses = dc:Rights and/or dcterms:AccessRights and/or dcterms:RightsStatement and/or dcterms:License etc. (Rights management, Creative Commons License type or other licenses) Content description = dc:Description (e.g. Data aggregation level) Spatial Scale = dcterms:Spatial (Spatial characteristics of the resource. Geographic level at which the content is applied) Coverage = dcterms:Coverage and/or dc:Subject (Geographical coverage, Topic coverage, etc.) Language* = dc:Language Custom bibliographic citation = dcterms:bibliographicCitation Media type = dcterms:MediaType Identifier = dc:Identifier (e.g. URL of the resource)

Technical implementations

This section is aiming to provide useful links and possible scenarios for implementing the above principles and examples. A link to the technical page will be added when the implementation will take place.
