How does CORE substitute Microsoft Academic Graph?

Microsoft Academic Graph (see next post) does a lot of what numerous education-led projects (including Jisc's CORE) intended to do. Where does this leave these projects? " CORE already fulfils a number of the solutions supplied by MAG, but critically CORE is not a direct replacement for MAG. In fact, there is no direct replacement for MAG. As OurResearch clearly says in their announcement – a "perfect" replacement is very hard to come by." In other words, this is a concession that Microsoft looked at what the sector was trying to do and did it better (it helps a lot I think that Microsoft didn't have a prior interest as a journal publisher). CORE there fore is now focused on more specific projects, such as "Methods for detecting citation intent and purpose embedded and applied on citation data" and "Full-scale near-duplicate detection to recognise different versions of manuscripts."
