Citation Group

This type allows you to group associated citations together. When some content in a CreativeWork cites more than one reference for a particular piece of text, use a CitationGroup to encapsulate multiple Citation nodes.

At present we do not give a citationMode property to a CitationGroup since they will almost always be parenthetical as opposed to narrative. In other words, it usually only makes sense for individual Citation nodes to be narrative (although they may be connected together within content using words such as "and").
