Retrieve articles from PubMed Central using their PMCID

This service retrieves articles from PubMed Central using NCBI Entrez APIs, and generates an RDF representation thereof. The articles are identified by their Pubmed Central ID (PMCID) starting with "PMC", provided using property fabio:hasPubMedCentralId.

The graph produced relies mainly on the Bibiographic Ontology (BIBO) and FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology (FaBiO). An article IRI is preferably based on its DOI, if any, prefixed with http://doi.org/. If no DOI is available, the IRI is PubMed's web page URL prefixed with https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. Authors are represented as separate triples with dct:creator, as well as an ordered list with bibo:authorList.
