  • dcterms:title is what makes this slot machine-checked: linkml-reference-validator compares a declared title against the fetched publication and errors on a mismatch, and its TitleURIs matches only "dcterms:title" / "dc/terms/title". linkml:title does NOT work — that is why the annotation on the shared title slot is inert, and why PublicationReference.title is detected only via lrv's exact-name fallback FallbackSlotNames.TITLE = ("title",).
  • "Checked" means checked for the prefixes lrv actually fetches. Prefixes in skip_prefixes (conf/reference_validator_config.yaml), notably DOI:, are never fetched and so are exempt — a DOI title that drifts from its source is still not caught by this.
  • Enabling this required a data fix first, not a tooling change: 6,125 titles across 408 files disagreed with their cached publication and were re-synced from cache by scripts/normalize_reference_titles.py. Run that script if this check starts failing in bulk; a single failure is far more likely to be a genuinely wrong citation, which is the point.

- '`dcterms:title` is what makes this slot machine-checked: linkml-reference-validator
  compares a declared title against the fetched publication and errors on a mismatch,
  and its TitleURIs matches only "dcterms:title" / "dc/terms/title". `linkml:title`
  does NOT work — that is why the annotation on the shared `title` slot is inert,
  and why PublicationReference.title is detected only via lrv''s exact-name fallback
  FallbackSlotNames.TITLE = ("title",).'
- '"Checked" means checked for the prefixes lrv actually fetches. Prefixes in `skip_prefixes`
  (conf/reference_validator_config.yaml), notably `DOI:`, are never fetched and so
  are exempt — a DOI title that drifts from its source is still not caught by this.'
