IsServiceFor and IsServedBy in DataCite

[Markus Demleitner]

Dear Registry folks,

As part of our scheme for discovering data collections
<http://ivoa.net/documents/discovercollections/>, we need
relationship types IsServedBy and IsServiceFor in our relationship
type vocabulary
<https://www.ivoa.net/rdf/voresource/relationship_type/>.  Actually,
these concepts date back to vintage 2006 VOResource 2.0 (served-by
and service-for).

When we moved to DataCite relationships and the RDF vocabulary in
VOResource 1.1, I freely added these two terms in DataCite style, but
without bothering to upstream them.  Now that we rather routinely go
to DataCite metadata (mainly for DOI registration) and sometimes
back, too, it is inconvenient that these relationships cannot be
represented in DataCite.

I had hoped that other communities would feel the same itch and
DataCite would grow these things itself.  But our sort of service
apparently still hasn't quite arrived in too many places out there.
So, I went ahead and wrote a suggestion myself:

https://github.com/datacite/datacite-suggestions/discussions/207

As you can see, there are many suggestions for the DataCite people to
consider; I'm hence somewhat skeptical that my puny suggestion alone
will be enough to get the relevant working groups moving.  So, if you
could contribute to the suggestion or perhaps know people involved
with DataCite that could be helpful for moving this ahead: Any help
is much appreciated.

Thanks,

          Markus
