In the scientific community, it is widely spread that citations are defined using BibTex for easy referencing in article bibliographies, such as:
@techreport{landry2019ogc,
title={OGC Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) Compute Challenge Engineering Report},
author={Landry, Tom and Byrns, David and Caron, David and Charette-Migneault, Francis},
year={2019},
institution={Open Geospatial Consortium}
}
I believe STAC would benefit in supporting fields defined in BibTex to facilitate citation definition.
The current citation field only provide a string that could be formatted with any of the many citation styles (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).
The above example could be converted into STAC-citation JSON as such:
{
"citation": "Landry, Tom, et al. OGC Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) Compute Challenge Engineering Report. No. DOE-OGC-19082. Open Geospatial Consortium, 2019.",
"doe": "https://www.osti.gov/biblio/1570389",
"type": "techreport",
"title": "OGC Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) Compute Challenge Engineering Report",
"author": "Landry, Tom and Byrns, David and Caron, David and Charette-Migneault, Francis",
"year": 2019
