Delicious science from Nature

Thu, 2004-12-23 14:13 — Greg

I just discovered Connotea a social citations and remote reference management service from the Nature publishing group. "Think del.icio.us in a white coat" (again, via Danny Ayers's weblog). This is similar to CiteULike, which I posted previously. Apparently there is an undocumented API too, any of the Connotea developers reading this ? Details please :)

Update: After using the service, I discovered that you can not edit posts once you've made them. This is not so good, as I am used to reclassify posts (on del.icio.us) as I evolve my tagging system. While it is good that the RSS feeds are using RSS 1.0 (RDF), it is not so good that the items do not include author information. Citeulike provides both these features.

More information in Connotea RSS

While it is good that the RSS feeds are using RSS 1.0 (RDF), it is not so good that the items do not include author information.

We've now added much more information into the RSS feeds -- if Connotea knows the bibliographic data for an article, then it will be in the RDF.

Connotea now has 'edit bookmark'

After using the service, I discovered that you can not edit posts once you've made them

You can now. You should see an 'edit' link next to your bookmarks after you log in.

Apparently there is an undocumented API too, any of the Connotea developers reading this ? Details please :)

Coming soon...

We also added citation information import from HubMed and Nature journals.
