Needed for expressing the provenance of parameters and data taken from the published literature

The reason I put these shapes in a "literature" module is that I planned to add some related, but non-schema.org-based shapes, such as "LiteratureReview" (a prov:Activity), but I'm happy either way.

great! I was wondering what the reasons for that were.

I am a colleague of @MFSY at @BlueBrain. I am working on frameworks to extract facts and parameters from literature. Consequently, I have been made aware of this PR and the fact that I am welcome to comment it.

My comments:

  1. Good work!

  2. Is there a reason to allow a DOI for a chapter but not for a book?

  3. Some document haven't a DOI nor a PMID to identify them but still need to be identified. A part of our discussion on this can be found on https://github.com/BlueBrain/neurocurator/issues/65.

  4. It could be interesting to add a property for the language of the document. In our context it might be always 'en' but in others other languages can be used. This information is relevant for text mining tools or (faceted) search.

Thanks!

I agree with your points, and I'll take them into account when I find time to revise this PR. Thanks to the pointers to the neurocurator discussion.
