Cite Data: Various formats of citation are not accessable via URL

[mheppler]

In the Widgets project, changes to how a user can access the various formats of the dataset citation were implemented, with the intent to improve the UX. Additional improvements should be made to access these formats directly through a URL.

For example, the URL to access the BibTeX version is:

http://localhost:8080/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.5072/FK2/ZLRYYX#

Instead of pointing to the dataset pg, ideally we'd have an URL that is access directly to the BibTex citation version, which could look something like:

http://localhost:8080/dataset.bib?persistentId=doi:10.5072/FK2/ZLRYYX

I don't believe there are any formal requirements for this feature but here are some quick notes from a conversation with @scolapasta

• 4 formats:
  • regular citation
  • bibtex
  • RIS
  • EndNote XML
• per dataset version, see :latest-published and friends at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.3.1/api/native-api.html#datasets
• drafts too but check with @posixeleni
• should all open in browser with URL you can email to someone (if it's published, at least)
• able to download as a file
• see also https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=gary+king&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C22&as_sdtp=
• make pull request against widgets branch

I said I'd spend a couple hours with the code, at least, and see how long I think it would take to implement what's desired. @posixeleni would do acceptance testing.

@pdurbin regarding your #3140 (comment) comment/question about drafts: yes on drafts being able to support export on citations since researchers may want to add their data citation in pre-publication (hence why we already have a DOI reserved).

@scolapasta as promised I spent about two hours poking around in the code and I think this is way more than a 2-3 day effort. My guess is two weeks, maybe more. I went ahead and pushed my scratch work to c433395 and I hope that the todo's I left in that commit help explain some of the challenges. I recommend revisiting this issue once the work for #2608 is complete.

I would love to have this feature. That is, the option to programmatically download a RIS file given a URI.

I use the API to download multiple files "bundle"s in the original format but I cannot add a citation file. It looks like I can do that with the "all formats" bundle, but that is not a good option for me (confusion about what the original files are; the need to download different file formats, sometimes file by file to deal with size limitations; additional disk space cost).
