I am not sure of being quite on target, but I will risk it anyway. This perspective seems to me to complete the dissemin tool in useful ways.
To inspect what Dissemin is about, just check http://dissem.in . And if I am totally off base, please tell me. I stand to be corrected, if needed. -- Jean-Claude Guédon Professeur titulaire Littérature comparée Université de Montréal Le jeudi 30 juin 2016 à 15:12 -0400, John G.
