I have librarians that would kill for this. In fact I was talking to
one about it the other day. She felt there must be a way to handle
active reading and make it portable. This would be great in
conjunction with RefWorks or Zotero or something along those lines.
Yep, when I was creating this application for myself I was wondering
what it would be like if a whole group, say, an academic department,
were to systematically contribute to such a thing? I thought the
output would be pretty exciting.

Have you considered using Solr's ExtractingRequestHandler [1] for the

Nope, never saw that previously. Thanks for the pointer.

I would like to suggest an API for extracting text (including
highlighted or
annotated ones) from PDF: iText (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/).
This is a Java API (has C# port), and it helped me a lot, when we
worked
with extraordinary PDF files.
More tools! Thank you.

My (much more primitive) version of the same thing involves reading
and
annotating articles using my Tablet PC. Although I do get a variety
of print
publications, I find I don't tend to annotate them as much anymore.
I used
to use EndNote to do the metadata, then I switched to Zotero. I hadn't
thought to try to create a full-text search of the articles -- hmm.
Yes, for a growing number of the tools I create I need to be thinking
about Zotero as way of "remembering" content. Thanks for... reminding
me.

Here's a post on how easy it is to send PDF documents to Solr from
Java:

I'm looking forward to the arrival of my Solr books any day now. After
reading it I hope to have a better handle on the guts of Solr as well
as increase my abilities to do the sorts of things discussed at the
URL above.
Thank you, one and all for your replies.
