Hackathon 2013/Citations
From TaxonWorks Wiki
This pitch covers making sure that citations can flow easily in and out of TaxonWorks. It will do this in three ways:
- Finding an existing data model which can hold information citations with a standard format for representing it.
- Possibly wikipedia:BibTeX
- Writing code to read this in and out in Ruby, possibly just using a standard library [1].
- Writing code to resolve microcitations. A working example of this has been created by Rod Page that links generic names from Nomenclator Zoologicus with references from the Biodiversity Heritage Library.
- Lists of journals.
- BHL API to convert BHL URLs into references
- Finding out more about a particular citation
- Getting abstract, keywords from PubMed
- Pulling in citation from BHL
- ImpactStory information
- Designing a user interface to make it easy to resolve microcitations
- Autocompletion
- Journal name identification
