vocab
Vocabulary/Taxonomy Name
The name of a taxonomy, ontology, database, term list, thesaurus, index, controlled vocabulary (defined formally), generic vocabulary (subject area defined informally), etc. that is the source of terms such as keywords and subjects.
Remarks
Usage: There is no fixed list of term sources, and each JATS organization may point to its chosen taxonomies, ontologies, keyword lists, etc. For keywords, named vocabularies include “inspec”,
“medical-devices”, etc. For subjects, named vocabularies include “ipc”, “mesh”, and “unspsc” etc. In cases where there is no named vocabulary, the @vocab attribute may be set to “uncontrolled”.
Vocabulary Attributes: Four attributes are used in this Tag Set to identify terms from a controlled or an uncontrolled vocabulary:
vocab | Name of the controlled or uncontrolled vocabulary, taxonomy, ontology, index, database, or similar that is the source of the term. For example, for a subject term, a value might be the IPC Codes (“ipc”) or MESH headings
(“mesh”). For an uncontrolled term, the value might be
an area of study such as “medical-devices” or merely the word “uncontrolled”. |
|---|---|
vocab-identifier | Unique identifier of the vocabulary, such as (but not limited to) a URI or DOI. For example, for Dublin Core (DCC), the identifier might be http://dublincore.org/documents/2012/06/14/dces/. For CRediT, the identifier might be http://dictionary.casrai.org/Contributor_Roles. |
vocab-term | The content of the element is the free prose version of the vocabulary or taxonomic term. The @vocab-term attribute holds the canonical version of the same term, as it appears in the vocabulary. For example, if the attribute value was “digitized-vor”, the element might contain the display text “Digitized Version of Record”. |
vocab-term-identifier | Unique identifier of the term within a specific vocabulary, such as (but not limited to) an item number, a URI, DOI, etc. |
Used on these Elements:
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Text, numbers, or special characters | The name of the vocabulary, taxonomy, ontology, database, term list, index, etc. that is the source of the term named in the element’s content. |
| Restriction | @vocab is an optional attribute; there is no default. |
