Future updates of bulk Crossref metadata corpus #5

Description

@bnewbold

In April 2017 @dhimmel uploaded a bulk snapshot of Crossref metadata to figshare (where it was assigned DOI 10.6084/m9.figshare.4816720.v1).

While this metadata can be scraped from the Crossref API by anybody (eg, using the scripts in this repository), I found it really helpful to grab in bulk form.

I'm curious whether this dump could be updated on an annual or quarterly basis. I don't have a particular need for the the data to be versioned (eg, assigned sequential .v2, .v3 DOIs at figshare), but that would probably help with discovery for other folks and generally be a best practice.

If nobody has time to do such an update I will probably run the scripts from this repository and push to archive.org at: https://archive.org/details/ia_biblio_metadata.
