Abstract

Nanopublication is a data publishing model which has a great potential for the representation of scientific results allowing interoperability, data integration and exchange of scientific findings. But this model suffer of the lack of an appropriate standard methodology to produce complete and interoperable citations providing both data identification and access. In this paper we introduce nanocitation, a framework to automatically get human-readable text-snippet snippet and machine-readable citations of nanopublications.

The full paper was presented at TPDL 2019 [5].

The work was partially funded by the “Computational Data Citation” (CDC) STARS-StG project of the University of Padua. The work was also partially funded by the EXAMODE (contract n. 825292) part of the H2020-ICT-2018-2 call of the European Commission.
