Re: [CODE4LIB] New Open Source Citation Parser
A suggestion: you might want to also add Biblio-Citation-Parser by Mike Jewell (http://search.cpan.org/~mjewell/Biblio-Citation-Parser-1.10/)http://search.cpan.org/~mjewell/Biblio-Citation-Parser-1.10/ Steve On Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 11:11 AM, Miriam Goldberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Thanks for pointing out these other parsing tools.

Re: [CODE4LIB] New Open Source Citation Parser
I might add CrossRef's Simple Text Query for generating article DOIs from citations. Not open source though. http://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery/ On Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 3:50 PM, Jonathan Rochkind [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is the third open source citation parser I know of now.
