[open-science] New release of COCI: 450M open citations available\

[Silvio Peroni]

Hi Peter,

Thanks for writing, and sorry for the delay.

COCI contains only DOI-to-DOI links, and do not provide metadata of the citing and cited entities, thus I really don’t know if this is compliant with the strategy adopted in Wikifact-mine.

Of course, metadata of each citing and cited entity can be retrieved by means of the COCI REST API, which is using Crossref API, DataCite API, and Unpaywall API all combined together along with the data included in the COCI triplestore.

Maybe Daniel can have some additional comments on it.

Have a nice day :-)

David Flanders organised the meeting and I presented Open Bibliography (which came out of JISC funding to OKFN). Before that no citations and no bibliography were formally Open, so thanks to everyone who has contributed over the years.
