The high level goals are:
* deriving a [citation graph](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citation_graph) dataset from scholarly metadata
-* beside paper-to-paper links the graph should also contain paper-to-book (open library) and paper-to-webpage (wayback machine) and other links
+* beside paper-to-paper links the graph should also contain paper-to-book (open library) and paper-to-webpage (wayback machine) and other datasets (e.g. wikipedia)
* publication of this dataset in a suitable format, alongside a description of its content (e.g. as a technical report)
The main challenges are:
* currently 1.8B references documents (~800GB raw textual data); possibly going up to 2-4B (1-2TB raw textual data)
* currently a single machine setup (aitio.us.archive.org, 16 cores, 16TB disk mounted at /magna)
-* very partial metadata
-* difficult data quality (e.g. need extra care to extract URLs, DOI, ISBN, etc.)
+* very partial metadata (requiring separate code paths)
+* difficult data quality (e.g. need extra care to extract URLs, DOI, ISBN, etc. since about 800M metadata docs come from ML based [PDF metadata extraction](https://grobid.readthedocs.io))
* fuzzy matching and verification at scale (e.g. verifying 1M clustered documents per minute)
