A “qualified reference” is a reference to another resource (i.e., referencing that external resource’s persistent identifier), in which the nature of the relationship is also clearly specified. For instance, when multiple versions of a metadata file are available, it may be useful to provide links to prior or next versions using a named relation such as “prior version” or “next version” (preferably using an appropriate community standard relationship that itself conforms to the FAIR principles). In the case of data, imagine a dataset that specifies the population of cities around the world. To be FAIR with respect to principle I3, the data could contain links to a resource containing city data (e.g. Wikidata: http://wikidata.org/, doi:10.1145/2187980.2188242), geographical and geospatial data, or other related domain resources that are generated by that city, so long as they are properly qualified references using meaningful, clearly-interpretable relationships. It is also important to note that many different metadata files (containers) being FAIR digital resources in themselves, can be pointing to the same ‘target’ object (a data set or a workflow for instance). We can for instance have intrinsic metadata (‘what is this’) and how was it created (provenance type metadata) as well as ‘secondary’ metadata that are for instance created (separately and later in time) by reusers of a particular digital resource. These could all be metadata containers essentially describing the same digital resource from different perspectives. This principle therefore also relates to the good practice to clearly distinguish between metadata (files/containers) and the resources they describe. https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/I3-Explanation http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#isDefinedBy https://w3id.org/fair/icc/latest/I3-Explanation https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/I3-Explanation http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label I3 Explanation https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/I3-Explanation http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso http://wikidata.org/ https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/I3-Explanation http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/SIO https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/I3-Explanation http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso https://doi.org/10.1145/2187980.2188242 https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/I3-Explanation https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/explains-principle https://w3id.org/fair/principles/terms/I3 https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/I3-Explanation https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/implementation-considerations The considerations and choices made here are based on the same reasoning as the decisions made for principle I2. Vocabularies (often formal ontologies) of both concepts and relationships exist, and an appropriate relationship should either be selected from one of these, or “coined” and properly published following the FAIR Principles. https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/I3-Explanation https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/implementation-examples It is worth noting as an example that several “upper ontologies” such as the SemanticScience Integrated Ontology (https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/SIO) have a wide range of precisely-defined relationships that can be used as-is, or as a starting-point for a newly-minted relationship that is more specific than the one provided in the upper-ontology. The benefit of “inheriting” from higher-level relationships is that agents capable of understanding these higher level concepts, can infer at least a basic interpretation of the intent of the new relationship coined within the community, and therefore enhances interoperability. https://w3id.org/fair/principles/terms/I3 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label I3 https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE#provenance https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE#assertion http://purl.org/pav/authoredBy https://w3id.org/fair/icc/terms/FAIR-Principles-Explained-Working-Group https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE#pubinfo https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE#sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasAlgorithm RSA https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE#sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasPublicKey MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCwUtewGCpT5vIfXYE1bmf/Uqu1ojqnWdYxv+ySO80ul8Gu7m8KoyPAwuvaPj0lvPtHrg000qMmkxzKhYknEjq8v7EerxZNYp5B3/3+5ZpuWOYAs78UnQVjbHSmDdmryr4D4VvvNIiUmd0yxci47dTFUj4DvfHnGd6hVe5+goqdcwIDAQAB https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE#sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasSignature bU2RRyc+130ncsWwoDT4tQpFWMm74/DZv/IkJvMw2/BSwLZAmkj/vKeqg6l0RE/lVBVOf64KhT/i3L4m4F6AbnaFL2PmyndFhMXxW4uFfSKnNs/GSzoT0zLqh6f6HhKsUL/npUat9vhfLAFGsNLFaAycbpUHkREjDftUahVVw7Y= https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE#sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasSignatureTarget https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE http://purl.org/dc/terms/created 2019-11-22T18:41:24.945+01:00 https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8888-635X https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1267-0234 https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4818-2360 https://w3id.org/fair/icc/np/I3-Explanation/RAQqA84T6twSJSK0q4TNO4vVbLLnpEEYTiUZIFE3sMVjE http://purl.org/dc/terms/license https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
