Definitionen

While traditional Libraries often concentrate on the repository and retrieval facets of their work, for many scientists it is also very important to be able to manage and maintain references to the information they work with, such as bibliographic information and Web bookmarks. ShaRef aims at providing a solution (usable Web-based as well as offline) for creating, managing, and sharing reference information. This information can be exported to other applications (such as word processing software or Web browsers). ShaRef is based on XML technologies for providing an open platform with powerful importing and exporting features. Web-based publishing features allow Web access and the creation of selected reference lists such as reading lists for lectures and seminars or publication lists for specific research areas.

Bemerkungen

It is important to note that ShaRef is not meant as a library-scale tool, which means that bibliographies in ShaRef are not meant to have hundreds of thousands of even millions of entries. Instead, it is meant as a personal bibliography management tool with sharing capabilities, so that individuals (with hundreds and maybe thousands of entries) can share and/or combine their information to access bibliographic entries in the magnitude of tens of thousands.

ShaRef is based on XML technologies and the data model is defined as an XML Schema. It is thus easily possible to add new fields to ShaRef records, which are handled transparently in ShaRef. Openness means that ShaRef will accept unknown XML structures (where they are allowed) and handle them transparently, so that they will be exported from ShaRef in the same way as they have been imported. For example, a user adding sophisticated XML-based descriptions of resources to references using a selfdefined field type will be able to retrieve this field together with the reference unaltered. Thus, ShaRef can be used to store data that it cannot interpret.
