OpenCitations Meta Identifier
[edit]Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Authority control
| Description | Used by the OpenCitations Corpus to provide citation links between scholarly articles. Earlier version of OpenCitations used the DOI directly but were also limited to DOI only. They recently transitioned to using OMIDs to make the citation linking more flexible and DOI independent. |

Motivation
[edit]OpenCitations Corpus recently transitioned from using only DOI to using their own OMIDs for citation linking. This makes the links more flexible an independent of DOI, e.g., they now can use PubMed or arXiv IDs for citation linking as well. This is particularly relevant to handling citations without any DOI. But this also makes OMIDs crucial when working with open citation data. For further reading see:
I am working at DBLP and we are already actively working with OMIDs. We can provide a linking of OMID with DOI and/or DBLP publication IDs for Mix'n'Match, if needed. --MRA (talk) 11:08, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Discussion
[edit]
Support however you should maybe clarify in the examples that the ID value is just the last piece of the URL? ArthurPSmith (talk) 23:25, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
