hello,
I have been thinking some more about how I might use DSpace for my prototype
digital library (DL) and am now considering how citations will be handled.
DSpace doesn't seem to have much to say about that at the moment. I notice
on the WIKI it says there is a Google Summer of Code project (
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code_Ideas) to do with
citations. It says:
Exporting citations is a request of many faculty and a positive selling
feature for Librarians/Project Managers to help convince faculty to deposit
their work into Dspace. Importing citations will help Dspace administrators
get records into Dspace faster and easier. It's all about getting content
into local instances of Dspace.
It is the import of citations I am interested in. The people that I want to
prototype my DL for already have a DL that handles citations. But it handles
them based on there being a separate metadata file containing the citation
information. These metadata files are prepared by hand. I am interested in
what can be automated. This is where citeseerx comes in. Citeseerx is a
brand new version of the well-known CiteSeer. Citeseerx has just gone open
source. It was released to sourceforge last month, with an Apache License.
It may be downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/citeseerx/
I wonder if DSpce might be able to make use of this. What do people think? I
would also be interested to know how people get on trying to build it. I am
having all sorts of compilation problems. I have posted a plea for help on
the SF forum page. Maybe other people will have better luck than me.

Andrew M.
