Awesome, we would love if you could publish this dataset along with your 
code!

Any feedback and/or contributions that your team makes are very much 
appreciated. We develop ooni-probe with researchers like yourselves in 
mind, and similarly, we publish and make available all of our work so 
that others can leverage our combined efforts.

I do not believe there is a published paper, and the DOM similarity 
measure is (rather) experimental. If you use the DOM similarity test in 
your paper, I believe it would be the first to do so.
