Linkstacking
Dan Chudnov has posted a draft of an interesting paper on a new project he’s been working on. In his words:
This informal paper proposes that libraries could merge the functions of weblogging, reference management, and link resolution into a new library groupware infrastructure, helping users to better manage the entire lifecycle of the bibliographic research process. Several scenarios explore how such an application suite might help library users by integrating their bibliographic research more closely with communication – scholarly and otherwise, from private annotation to public discussion. A discussion of related architectural issues suggests a new model of “link routing” to augment “link resolution,” and describes how link routing systems could enable library visitors to become users of our groupware services as much as they already are users of the information resources we procure.
