Citation File Format
Citation File Format
(CFF) is a YAML based format for citations, specifically CITATION files
to be included with software or code as
CITATION.cff.
JSON
Currently, the keys and the overall structure are subject to change,
but the plan is to stabilize it or to provide existing metadata format
in JSON. Pretty-printed version is good, e.g., for saving into files,
while the other, compact version is good for further processing.
Pretty printed Python dictionary
This format is essentially a dump of the internal data structure holding
the citation entry. It should not be used in scripts, i.e. further
parsed, for that there are other formats such as JSON. When this is
advantageous is exploring what information the module was able to
acquire for the citation.
- Don't use the format=dict for further processing.
It is meant for exploration of what information the module
acquired.
- The structure of the JSON output is yet not guaranteed.
g.citation module=v.select format=plain
g.citation f=pretty-json -a -s | grep '"name": ' | sort | uniq
g.citation -s format=citeproc vsep="< p>" -a > all.html
- More output formats or styles are needed.
The following formats were suggested so far:
csl,datacite,dublincore,json-ld,narcxml
- The structure of the JSON output is not guaranteed. It reflects
the internal structure (only the empty entries are removed).
- Version and date in CFF output are incomplete.
