Data acquisition itself can take +different forms: bibliographic metadata can contain explicit reference data as +provided by publishers and aggregators; this data can be relatively consistent +when looked at per source, but may vary in style and comprehensiveness when +looked at as a whole. Another way of acquiring bibliographic metadata is to +analyze a source document, such as a PDF (or its text), directly. Tools in this +category are often based on conditial random +fields~\citep{lafferty2001conditional} and have been implemented in projects +such as ParsCit~\citep{councill2008parscit}, +Cermine~\citep{tkaczyk2014cermine}, EXCITE~\citep{hosseini2019excite} +or GROBID~\citep{lopez2009grobid}. + +The problem of citation matching is relatively simple when common, persistent +identifiers are present in the data. Complications mount, when there is +\emph{Identity Uncertainty}, that is ``objects are not labeled with unique +identifiers or when those identifiers may not be perceived +perfectly''~\citep{pasula2003identity}. CiteSeer has been an early project +concerned with citation matching~\citep{giles1998citeseer}. A taxonomy of +potential issues common in the matching process has been compiled +by~\citep{olensky2016evaluation}. Additional care is required, when the +citation matching process is done at scale~\citep{fedoryszak2013large}. The +problem of heterogenity has been discussed in the context of datasets +by~\citep{mathiak2015challenges}. + + + + +% There are a few large scale citation dataset available today.
