SocioBiblog

SocioBiblog is a decentralized system for sharing bibliographic information over the social network of researchers by aggregation of information through one's social links. Blogs provide an easy platform for such social information sharing. Semantic blogging can enhance this with standard structure needed for bibliographic information. SocioBiblog uses the SWRC ontology for publication metadata and aggregates publications from the social network neighborhood and co-authors of each researcher. RSS aggregation has been extended to handle the embedded publication metadata. The aggregated collections may be searched and filtered flexibly by metadata criteria. The results can be redistributed as new feeds which can further be integrated, mixed and reused by other systems. A decentralized ecosystem is formed where each unit can publish, aggregate and redistribute information.

   SocioBiblog was awarded the Best Paper in the Area of Web 2.0 at the IADIS International Conference WWW/Internet 2007, Vila Real, Portugal, October 5-8 2007.
