Following [\textit{J. S. Carter} et al., Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 355, No. 10, 3947--3989 (2003; Zbl 1028.57003)], the author of the paper under review investigates the ribbon cocycle invariant using a partition function involving ternary cohomology of self-distributive structures (TSD) and colorings of ribbon diagrams of a framed link. By constructing a ribbon category from a TSD set whose twisting and braiding morphisms entail a given TSD 2-cocycle, the author of this article proves that this invariant is a quantum invariant. Furthermore, it is shown that the quantum invariant naturally associated to this braided category coincides with the cocycle invariant [loc. cit.]. A generalization to symmetric monoidal categories is given and some examples obtained from Hopf monoids and Lie algebras are provided.
