CiTO
CiTO (Citation Typing Ontology) is a formal ontology that provides a machine-readable vocabulary for describing the nature and type of citations within bibliographic references. It enables the semantic representation of the relationships between citing and cited scholarly works, supporting the analysis of citation networks and the characterization of how one publication cites another.
