reference
The subject work cites or refers to the object work. A forward citation link — the inverse of 'cited by'.

Provenance/Evidence
reference
Proposed — in the registry with a stable definition and a deterministic ID, but not yet promoted to the enshrined set. Semantics may still be refined before promotion.
Identity
A predicate is itself an atom. Its ID is derived from these exact bytes — the same value in your app, in anyone else's, and onchain.
