De Boer et al. claimed in previous work that in the context of Digital Humanities research, usage of the Linked Data Scopes ontology contributes to transparency of the research. We present here a formalization of that claim, stating that all things of class “usage of Linked Data Scopes” that are in the context of a thing of class “digital humanities research” can generally have a relation of type “contributes to” to a thing of class “transparency” in the same context.
De Boer et al. [2] state that “With the rise of data driven methods in the humanities, it becomes necessary to develop reusable and consistent methodological patterns for dealing with the various data manipulation steps. This increases transparency, replicability of the research. Data scopes present a qualitative framework for such methodological steps. In this work we present a Linked Data model to represent and share Data Scopes”. We present here a formalization of the main scientific claim from this quote by using a semantic template called the super-pattern [1].
In the context class we use a new minted class “digital humanities research” that is a subclass of “research” (Q42240) from Wikidata and is related to the class “digital humanities” (Q1026962) from Wikidata. In the subject class, we use a new minted class “usage of Linked Data Scopes” that is defined using the restriction “some values from” from OWL on ”the Data Scopes Ontology” with the property “uses” (P2283) from Wikidata. In the object class we use the class “transparency” (Q535347) from Wikidata.
