Re: [CODE4LIB] New Open Source Citation Parser

2008-09-15 Thread Tom Keays
I might add CrossRef's Simple Text Query for generating article DOIs
from citations. Not open source though.

 This is the third open source citation parser I know of now. A welcome change 
 from a year ago when I needed one and didn't know of any! But I can't help 
 but think maybe people should be cooperating more instead of engineering 
 their own wheels. Also curious if anyone has looked at all three and can 
 compare and contrast and make a reccommendation.

 The other two I know about are:

 ParsCit -- http://wing.comp.nus.edu.sg/parsCit/
 A CDL project I don't have a good home page for, but code is here: 
 http://gales.cdlib.org/~egh/hmm-citation-extractor/

 I've been keeping track because I have a use for this, although haven't had 
 time to make use of any of them yet.

 Anyone want to compare and contrast these three projects?  Might make a good 
 very short article/review for the Code4Lib Journal if you wanted to.

 Please help us beta test FreeCite, a new citation parser for
 non-structured bibliographic data. FreeCite is the result of
 collaboration between the Brown University Library and Public Display,
 a Providence-based software company founded by and employing many
 Brown grads.  Public Display's core business is information
 extraction. Partial funding for this project was provided by the
 Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

 FreeCite is implemented in Ruby on Rails and uses the CRF++ library
 implementation of conditional random fields. The model is trained on
 the CORA dataset  with lexical augmentation from the Directory of
 Research and Researchers at Brown (DRR-B). The API and code are
 available at: http://freecite.library.brown.edu.
