This is a list of raw "unstructured" citations extracted from the 2021-01 Crossref public metadata dump, which had issues when parsed with GROBID 0.7.

To clarify, these citation strings strings come directly from publishers, and were not extracted from PDFs. This subset of citations is biased in that neither the publisher nor Crossref made a successful match to an existing paper with a DOI.

The format of the list is the citation string followed by notes on the issue. Almost all of these were manually re-verified using a recent version of GROBID

Running some quick initial metadata quality checks on OpenAlex Journal list. This is from the pre-release, dated in file names as 2021-10-11 (but announced in late November 2021).

Looking for ISSN-L dupes:

cat openalex-journals.txt | cut -f5 | rg '\-' | sort | uniq -d | wc -l
# 146

cat openalex-journals.txt | cut -f5 | rg '\-' | sort | uniq -D | wc -l

293 Cryptography in atproto and did:plc

Public key cryptography is used in several aspects of atproto ("AT Protocol"). This short, informal, not-very-official document clarifies some details of which specific systems, keys, serialization formats, and signing/verification procedures are used.

For folks who are already familiar with atproto, the quick things to note are:

yes, it is expected for everybody to support two curve types
take the SHA-256 hash of repo commit nodes before signing/verifying them
depending on library/language used, p256 may have quirks with "compressed" encoding
yes, DID documents do require two similar-but-different encodings for public keys (did:web and multibase)

AT-URIs with DIDs are not "URLs". Can they be parsed using exiting libraries in popular programming langauges?

Typescript / Javascript

Typescript implementation (@atproto/uri) is implemented "from scratch".

Assuming that the "URL" class in the formal web platform does not work.

The popular url-parse NPM package works:
