Finn, Puneet: I've known about Mendeley for a while (via Victor Henning) but have yet to investigate. Puneet - does it have good export functions, and do you know how easy it would be to collaboratively edit bibliographies? Also I would really want to specific that the bibliographic data I contributed was open (ideally in the public domain)...
Finn: I've also thought about using Semantic Media Wiki a little bit. I've also had discussions with Rufus about using the software behind publicdomainworks.net. My inclination is to continue to investigate out-of-the-box bibliographic software first, and to start to experiment if I can't find a good fit! Also, I had a look at your excellent Brede Wiki, and was about to add it to CKAN, before I realised that someone beat me to it! http://ckan.net/package/bredewiki Have you seen our science working group? http://wiki.okfn.org/wg/science Best wishes, Jonathan On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 11:19 PM, Mr. Puneet Kishor <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Nov 30, 2009, at 4:49 PM, Finn Aarup Nielsen wrote: > >> >> >> >> On Mon, 30 Nov 2009, Jonathan Gray wrote: >> >>> I currently have several ideas for projects for which I want to create >>> large, collaboratively maintained online bibliographies (or >>> bibliographic indexes/databases)... >>> >>> I wonder if anyone has any ideas for any (open source) tools which >>> might be good for this?
