--- abstract: | 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. altloc: - http://www.cogsci.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Papers/Harnad/harnad00.acm.htm chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: June 2000 conference: 5th ACM Conference on Digital Libraries confloc: San Antonio Texas contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Hitchcock given: Steve honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Carr given: Les honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Jiao given: Zhuoan honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Bergmark given: Donna honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Hall given: Wendy honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Lagoze given: Carl honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Harnad given: Stevan honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2000 date_type: published datestamp: 2001-06-26 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/16/44 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 1644 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/1644/1/harnad00.acm.htm full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: |- electronic publishing, digital library information architectures, reference linking, distributed storage collections, eprint archives, Open Archives lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:43 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: FALSE referencetext: |- Anon.
