Nanopublications dataset – future scope

[Ostrzyciel]

Currently the dataset includes only valid, non-superseded or retracted nanopubs that have a triple like ?s a stax:RdfStreamTypeUsage. This is fine for now, as it corresponds to the template for creating nanopubs with RDF-STaX. However in the future we may consider expanding the scope of this dataset or creating variants of it.

• Should we include nanopubs that cite the pubs we include? Maybe recursively, using SPARQL path operators?
  • This way we could include a whole discussion "tree" about the nanopubs, making the dataset more complete.
  • Maybe distribute it as a separate dataset version?
• One could conceivably publish nanopubs matching the current pattern for other applications (like annotating datasets), not only for annotating publications and software (which is the current intended use case). This could potentially dilute the dataset.
  • Maybe we should mark nanopubs with the survey intention in some way?
  • Is this really an issue?
  • Just add a marker or use a filter?
