[Open-access] [open-bibliography] Open alternative to crossref / linking to citations re-use on an open access repository?

[cameronneylon.net]

I think the question here is how to exchange "citations" and build up the graph. I've been involved in a project (Webtracks) which seeks to build a mechanism for exchange of citations between repositories. There is an implementation available but this just provides a protocol and triplestore for holding the incoming and outgoing citations. What it doesn't do is scan documents/resources for things that might be citations as this is a repository specific issue.

Yes,  in principle a dereferenceable URL (ideally with some semantic weight to it in the link) is sufficient to encode the information. But I think the original question was whether there are tools that help to record, traverse, and build up the graph?

Cheers
