Minimalist URL-to-URL citation CSV table

[essepuntato]

This proposal is related to #21.

We would like to release, monthly, a CSV table summarising all the citation links included in the Corpus. In particular, we are thinking of using a five column table with the following header:

citation IRI, citing ID, citing URL, cited ID, citing URL

where:

• citation IRI is the IRI identifying that citation (see the proposal for citation IRIs at Citation IRIs as virtual resources #23);
• citing ID is the OCC internal identifier identifying the citing article (e.g. br/1);
• citing URL is a meaningful URL (if any) that allows one to identify the citing article outside the Corpus, e.g. https://doi.org/10.1097/igc.0000000000000609 (DOI URLs will have the precedence among others);
• cited ID is the OCC internal identifier of the cited article (e.g. br/11);
• cited URL is a meaningful URL (if any) that allows one to identify the cited article outside the Corpus, e.g. https://doi.org/10.1097/00006250-200508000-00050 (DOI URLs will have the precedence among others).

My personal opinion would be to have a four column table with the full information, in order to make the final user to do whatever he/she likes, e.g.:

In this way we basically are able to keep track of all the citations in a way that is easily processable by bibliometricians and without having additional expertise in Semantic Web technologies. A simple excerpt of such table is shown as follow:

citation_iri	citing_id	citing_url	cited_id	cited_url
https://w3id.org/oc/virtual/citation/br/1/br/5	br/1	https://doi.org/10.1097/igc.0000000000000609	br/5	http://globocan.iarc.fr/pages/fact_sheets_population.aspx
https://w3id.org/oc/virtual/citation/br/1/br/11	br/1	https://doi.org/10.1097/igc.0000000000000609	br/11	https://doi.org/10.1097/00006250-200508000-00050
https://w3id.org/oc/virtual/citation/br/1/br/517	br/1	https://doi.org/10.1097/igc.0000000000000609	br/517
...	...	...	...	...

Using your new compact CitationID, we should change the contents of the first column "citation_iri" to read:
https://w3id.org/oc/virtual/citation/1-5
https://w3id.org/oc/virtual/citation/1-11
https://w3id.org/oc/virtual/citation/1-517
etc.
