CoBib : Collaborative indexing and annotation of bibliographic citations

CoBib facilitates the process of surveying literature by using a community’s actions, annotations, and referrals. The database architecture for CoBib provides users within research communities the means to collaboratively index and annotate citations by supporting both searching and browsing behavior. The system enables users to learn about research through explicit and implicit recommendations. This poster describes the principles and architecture of CoBib and our work towards effectively sharing references among research communities.
