Notes: aTaking into account the AKSW database (different provider); bthe patent offices have done additional steps non-related to the format to make merging of data easier; cthe database can be described as providing linking data, yet it is not an LOD database in classical sense; dif taking into account the bibliographical export in .csv by Espacenet on its web-pages designed in cooperation with national patent offices (e.g. https://sk.espacenet.com/), there are such data provided for most, however, the end document exports remain .pdf
