Once you try to embody these abstract ideas into concrete form, you'll discover that it does not work. Or rather, the gains are limited compared to the cost of creating, curating, and maintaining the extra metadata, and the error rate will be high.
"a label to the citation link in the dependency graph ..."
Now, paper ABC is the one I mentioned earlier, which omitted a data point because of a transcription error by the authors. This is not a serious error, but it is a mistake. So you write a paper which http://purl.org/spar/cito/corrects paper ABC.
How does this automated system of scientific dependencies supposed to figure out that my paper is not invalidated by your correction to paper ABC?
"... would be very useful"
It may well be useful, but it can't be used to give what the OP wants. My comments concern the infeasibility of the proposed system, not the feasibility or usability of other projects which are in the same general area.

To start with, here's the Citation Typing Ontology: http://www.essepuntato.it/lode/http://purl.org/spar/cito .
I then write a paper which says that approach X is generally three times faster than Y, and http://purl.org/spar/cito/citesAsEvidence paper ABC.
