WikiBibBlog

I’ve been thinking more about marrying bibliographic database, wiki, and blog, and have some ideas of how this might work.

Let’s say you enter a new bibliographic record. Upon doing so there would be a link, which would create a new annotation page linked to that record (just as in a wiki).

That’s straightforward enough, but what if you want to get more complex, and have links to other records from within that page? Or, you want a free standing note tied to a variety of bibliographic records. I haven’t quite figured that one out, but I have to believe there’s an elegant way to handle it.

The blog functionality is not as important to me, but the basic idea would be to provide a different – time-based – view of records and their annotations. One difference with regular blogs would be that there’d need to be a way to control what content is published, and to whom.
