VEP-015: relationship_type#References

[gilles landais]

Hi everyone,

"references" was a VizieR proposal to replace the deprecated ivoa term 
"related-to" (eg: 
https://cds.unistra.fr/registry/?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=ivo_vor&identifier=ivo://cds.vizier/J/AJ/161/36).
VizieR uses "related-to" on a catalogue to list VizieR datasets which 
was attached to articles cited by the catalogue reference article (the 
"See also" section in VizieR ReadMe file).

This list of resources is not really a list of citation (but a "citation 
by rebounds" ...). It is why we used the term "related-to" (and we liked 
it). That's an option, provided for discoverability reasons.
(Note that this VizieR list is provided only in its VO registry record 
but not in its DOI metadata)


If you think, "references" is not adapted for this VizieR use case (and 
according to the DataCite definition, it seems that it is not)  we can 
remove this list or keep "related-to".


(Note: In fact, I don't like "Cites" because in DataCite API "Cites" 
relation increases the datacite statistics (curl 
https://api.datacite.org/dois/{DOI}))


Thank for your advises,

with best,
Gilles Landais (CDS)
