Hm... I'm not sure that's another discussion. There's nothing wrong<br>
with a VEP touching multiple concepts at once, and that's actually<br>
the right thing to do if that's what's necessary to maintain the<br>
tree-like structure we require of our vocabularies (cf.<br>
<a href="https://ivoa.net/documents/Vocabularies/20230206/REC-Vocabularies-2.1.html#tth_sEc5.2.4" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ivoa.net/documents/Vocabularies/20230206/REC-Vocabularies-2.1.html#tth_sEc5.2.4</a>).<br>
<br>
What Baptiste is saying is in effect that we should, with the<br>
introduction of #References, place #Cites below References. I cannot<br>
say I'm *totally* convinced, but I think I'm half won over; at least<br>
it *sounds* plausible.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, we'd like to be compatible with the wider DataCite<br>
meanings if we use their lexical forms. In version 4.3, they have:<br>
<br>
References<br>
indicates B is used as a source of information for A<br>
Cites<br>
indicates that A includes B in a citation<br>
<br>
I had to stare at this for a moment, but I think when DataCite ever<br>
organise their terms hierarchically, they'd have to have<br>
<br>
#Cites "is-narrower-than" #References<br>
<br>
too. And then perhaps unify the style of their descriptions, too.<br>
<br>
Or should I better have called it a day earlier?<br>
