TI - Developing services for open eprint archives: globalisation, integration and the impact of links
Y1 - 2000///
N2 - The rapid growth of scholarly information resources available in electronic form and their organisation by
digital libraries is proving fertile ground for the development of sophisticated new services, of which
citation linking will be one indispensable example. Many new projects, partnerships and commercial
agreements have been announced to build citation linking applications. This paper describes the Open
Citation (OpCit) project, which will focus on linking papers held in freely accessible eprint archives such as
the Los Alamos physics archives and the other distributed archives, and which will build on the work of
the Open Archives initiative to make the data held in such archives available to compliant services. The
paper emphasises the work of the project in the context of emerging digital library information
environments, explores how a range of new linking tools might be combined and identifies ways in which
different linking applications might converge. Some early results of linked pages from the OpCit project are
reported.
