openacademia::doc

openacademia.org is an open source publication metadata repository for scientific communities. Our goal is to allow scientists to collect, organize and disseminate publications more efficiently using a combination of novel semantic technologies.

openacademia operates on an open source, open data, open documentation principle.

Unlike metadata stores maintained by publishers, openacademia gives complete access to your data in the form of RSS, RDF and APIs. Unlike Citeseer or DBLP, openacademia is software you can install and run locally and use it to connect to any other data source around the world.

For the technologically minded, our system relies on the idea of dynamically converting BibTex files - a standard for publication metadata - into news channels, following the same format that is used to syndicate and push news items to readers across the Web (RSS). The name for this new standard is BuRST, Bibliographies Using RSS Technology.
