Functions of Citations
description: CiTOFunctions is an ontology that provides a classification for citations. In particular, it classifies CiTO properties (each defining a particular citational act) according to their factual (class functions:FactualFunction) and positive/neutral/negative rhetorical functions (classes functions:PositiveRhetoricalFunction, functions:NeuterRhetoricalFunction and functions:NegativeRhetoricalFunction), as proposed by Peroni et al. in: Peroni, S., Shotton, D. (2012). FaBiO and CiTO: ontologies for describing bibliographic resources and citations. In Journal of Web Semantics: Science, Services and Agents on the World Wide Web, 17 (December 2012): 33-43.
