VEP-015: relationship_type#References

[Anne Catherine Raugh]

"References" is actually a problematic term for DataCite, largely because
there is also the term "Cites" to confuse the issue. Both are used for
citation-reference relationships, depending on the whim of the metadata
author. "References" is also used for other relationships when one
resources mentions another (in acknowledgements, for example, or as part of
a "For further information" reading list).

If the intention is for all relationships of this new type "reference" to
be interpreted as a "citation-reference", then you should probably say so
explicitly. It seems unlikely that other sorts of relationships would be
relevant to the IVOA case, and perhaps it might encourage citation of
results where appropriate.

-Anne.
