+# Building a Citation Graph
+
+* date: 2021-04-23
+* status: implemented
+
+## Problem and Goal
+
+We want to generate a citation graph including bibliographic data from fatcat,
+wikipedia, open library; additionally, we want to record web links as targets.
+
+Citations indices and graphs can be traced back at least to the seminal paper
+*Citation indexes for science* by Garfield, 1955 [1]. A anniversary paper [2]
+published in 2005 already lists 17 services that include cited reference
+search.
+
+Roughly three broad problems need to be solved:
+
+* A catalog (source) needs to be available, containing relatively clean
+  metadata on scholarly communication documents.
+* The reference data needs to be available, either in metadata directly or by
+  extraction from documents.
+* The datasets need to be compared.
+
