Micropublications: A Semantic Model For Claims, Evidence, Arguments And Annotations In Biomedical Communications / quote 9 of 13
From minimal statements to full evidence graphs
Micropublications permit scientific claims to be formulated minimally as any statement with an attribution (basic provenance), and maximally as entire knowledge-bases with extensive evidence graphs. Thus micropublications in their minimal form subsume or encompass statement-based models, while allowing presentation of evidential support for statements and natural language assertions as backing for formalisms. This has significant applicability across the lifecycle of biomedical communications.
