+`cgraph`: large-scale citation graph generation tools
+=====================================================
+
+An assembly of software tools in Python and Go, which together are used to
+compile a citation graph with billions of edges (references) and hundreds of
+millions of nodes (papers).
+
+Maintained by [martin@archive.org](mailto:martin@archive.org) at the Internet
+Archive, as part of the [fatcat](https://fatcat.wiki) and
+[scholar.archive.org](https://scholar.archive.org) projects.

+Code is organized into sub-modules, with their own documentation:

-Context: [fatcat](https://fatcat.wiki)
+The python code also builds on top of the [fuzzycat](https://pypi.org/project/fuzzycat/) library.

+As of June 2021, a copy of the citation graph has not been uploaded publicly, but is expected to be available soon.

* 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)

* data quality issues (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)
-We use informal, internal versioning for the graph currently v3, next will be v4/v5.

-# Grant related tasks
-
-3/4 phases of the grant contain citation graph related tasks.
-
-* [x] Link PID or DOI to archived versions
-
-> As of v2, we have linkage between fatcat release entities by doi, pmid, pmcid, arxiv.
-
-* [ ] URLs in corpus linked to best possible timestamp (GWB)
-> CDX API probably good for sampling; we'll need to tap into `/user/wmdata2/cdx-all-index/` - (note: try pyspark)
+Internet Archive use cases for the output citation graph include:
-* [ ] Harvest all URLs in citation corpus (maybe do a sample first)
+* discovery tool, e.g. "cited by ..." link for scholar.archive.org
+* lookup things citing this page/book/website/...
+* metadata discovery; e.g. identify popularly cited works which are missing (aka, have no "matched" record in the catalog)
+* Turn All References Blue (TARB)
-> A seed-list (from refs; not from the full-text) is done; need to prepare a
-> crawl and lookups in GWB. In 05/2021 we did a test lookup of GWB index on the
-> cluster. A full lookup failed, due to [map
-> spill](https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Explain-process-of-spilling-in-Hadoop-s-map-reduce-program/m-p/237246/highlight/true#M199059).
+Original design documents for this project are included in the fatcat git repository: [Bulk Citation Graph (Oct 2020)](https://github.com/internetarchive/fatcat/blob/master/proposals/202008_bulk_citation_graph.md), [Reference Graph API and Schema (Jan 2021](https://github.com/internetarchive/fatcat/blob/master/proposals/2021-01-29_citation_api.md)
-* [ ] Links between records w/o DOI (fuzzy matching)
+## Progress
-> As of v2, we do have a fuzzy matching procedure (yielding about 5-10% of the total results).
-
-* [ ] Publication of augmented citation graph, explore data mining, etc.
-* [ ] Interlinkage with other source, monographs, commercial publications, etc.
-
-> As of v3, we have a minimal linkage with wikipedia. In 05/2021 we extended Open Library matching (isbn, fuzzy matching)
-
-* [ ] Wikipedia (en) references metadata or archived record
-
-> This is ongoing and should be part of v3.
-
-* [ ] Metadata records for often cited non-scholarly web publications
-* [ ] Collaborations: I4OC, wikicite

-# TODO
-
-* [ ] create a first index, ES7 [schema PR](https://git.archive.org/webgroup/fatcat/-/merge_requests/99)
-* [ ] build API, [spec notes](https://git.archive.org/webgroup/fatcat/-/blob/10eb30251f89806cb7a0f147f427c5ea7e5f9941/proposals/2021-01-29_citation_api.md)

-# IA Use Cases
-
-* [ ] discovery tool, e.g. "cited by ..." link
-* [ ] things citing this page/book/...
-* [ ] metadata discovery; e.g. most cited w/o entry in catalog
-* [ ] Turn All References Blue (TARB)
