Revised Authorship Diagram. In our efforts to continuously improve the wiki (and thanks to all who are commenting, revising, editing), this week, the authorship relationship diagram was revised. Several minor points were clarified, the dateTimeValue for publications was elaborated, and the presence of a vcard on a publication for the purpose of representing URL(s) – full text, alt-metrics, others – was added. Thanks to Jon Corson-Rikert for revising the diagram. These diagrams are created using an interesting piece of open source software "VUE" – Visual Understanding Environment, and available for download from Tufts University at http://vue.tufts.edu/. VUE is a very handy tool for drawing ontological reltionship relationship diagrams – most of the VIVO ontology diagrams are drawn using VUE.
