Semi-formal Statements Based on English Sentences (AIDA)

| < Back to Overview |

Type Description This is the description of the type of nanopublications you can create through this page.

Such nanopublications use the concept of an AIDA sentence to express a (scientific) statement in an informal or semi-formal manner, which can be formally linked.

AIDA sentences are:

  • Atomic: a sentence describing one thought that cannot be further broken down in a practical way
  • Independent: a sentence that can stand on its own, without external references like "this effect" or "we"
  • Declarative: a complete sentence ending with a full stop that could in theory be either true or false
  • Absolute: a sentence describing the core of a claim ignoring the (un)certainty about its truth and ignoring how it was discovered (no "probably" or "evaluation showed that"); typically in present tense

You can find more information about AIDA sentences here.

Example Nanopublication A nanopublication contains as main content a statement in the assertion part (shown in blue) encoded in a way that computers can understand. It is expressed as one or more subject-relation-object structures, each shown on a separate line, where the identifier of the subject (left) is connected to the identifier of the object (right) via the identifier of the relation type (middle).
