One case is the standardization of identification methods of bibliographic entities (eg DOI) or responsibilities (eg ORCID) and the other is bibliographic ontologies that facilitate the automatic analysis of bibliographic data (eg SPAR [http://www.sparontologies.net/]). Next week I will publish an English-language articles about it in my RG project:
"PLOS ONE – a case study of citation analysis of research papers based on the data in an open citation index (The OpenCitations Corpus)"
See also the long-standing standards: MARC21, Dublin Core, etc.
