The DataCite Ontology (or simply DataCite) is an ontology written in OWL 2 DL to enable the metadata properties of the DataCite Metadata Schema version 3.1 to be described in RDF.

The main intent of the DataCite Ontology (shown in the following diagram) is to provide a flexible mechanism to define identifier for bibliographic resources (e.g., papers and datasets) and related entities (e.g., authors). To this end, we use the object property datacite:hasIdentifier that has as its object a member of the class datacite:Identifier or of one of its two sub-classes, datacite:ResourceIdentifier or datacite:AgentIdentifier, while the latter one is sub-classed by three additional classes, i.e., datacite:PersonalIdentifier, datacite:OrganizationIdentifier, and datacite:FunderIdentifier.

The exact nature of the identifier is then defined using the second DataCite object property datacite:usesIdentifierScheme that has as its object the class datacite:IdentifierScheme or one of its two sub-classes: datacite:ResourceIdentifierScheme and datacite:AgentIdentifierScheme, while the latter one is sub-classed by three additional classes, i.e., datacite:PersonalIdentifierScheme, datacite:OrganizationIdentifierScheme, and , datacite:FunderIdentifierScheme.

This provides a robust method for defining identifiers, since each specific identifier is defined as an individual member of its appropriate identifier scheme class. Of course, existing identifier schemes have been already defined within the ontology. For instance:

datacite:doi is an individual member of the class datacite:ResourceIdentifierScheme specifying a DataCite Digital Object Identifier;
datacite:orcid is an individual member of the class datacite:PersonalIdentifierScheme specifying an Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier;
datacite:fundref is an individual member of the class datacite:FunderIdentifierScheme specifying a FundRef Funder Identifier.

As need arises, new identifiers can be added later as new members of each class, without having to modify the structure of the DataCite Ontology. In addition, three members, i.e., datacite:local-resource-identifier-scheme, datacite:local-personal-identifier-scheme, datacite:local-organization-identifier-scheme and datacite:local-funder-identifier-scheme, have been already added to permit the use of local identifiers.

The class datacite:DescriptionType, and the object properties datacite:hasDescription and datacite:hasDescriptionType have also been defined in order to link an entity to another item representing an entity description of a particular type. This is defined using the property datacite:hasDescriptionType, which must have as its object one of the members of the class datacite:DescriptionType, i.e., datacite:abstract, datacite:methods, datacite:other, datacite:series-information and datacite:table-of-content. In this way it is possible to associate written documents (e.g. journal articles or 'data articles') as descriptions of datasets.

Finally, it is also possible to provide a link between a resource, such as a dataset, and the document describing its metadata by means of CiTO, using the property cito:citesAsMetadataDocument, and FaBiO, by means of the class fabio:MetadataDocument. In addition to these entities, the DataCite Ontology provides appropriate classes (i.e., datacite:MetadataScheme) and properties (i.e., datacite:hasMetadataScheme) to specify the particular scheme followed for creating the resource metadata exemplified in the metadata document.

DataCite allows one to associate identifiers to a bibliographic entity (e.g., a dataset, a person, an article) specifying their exact nature by means of the object property datacite:usesIdentifierScheme. In addition, it is also possible, through the object property datacite:hasDescription, to link an entity to another item representing an entity description of a particular type. This is defined using the property datacite:hasDescriptionType, which must have as its object one of the members of the class datacite:DescriptionType, i.e., datacite:abstract, datacite:other, datacite:series-information, datacite:methods, and datacite:table-of-content. In this way it is possible to associate written documents (e.g., journal articles) as descriptions of datasets.
