A Lightweight Approach To Semantic Annotation Of Research PapersScott Bou
This document presents Biblio, a tool for analyzing research publications based on the lightweight semantic annotation system Cerno. Biblio can convert documents from various formats like PDF and Word to plain text, identify the main structural elements of research papers, and semantically annotate sections to extract important information like the problem addressed and claimed contributions. The tool was evaluated on a set of papers and preliminary results were promising. Biblio uses Cerno's multi-step approach of parsing, markup, and mapping to semantically annotate documents and can generate bibliographies in different formats from the analyzed papers.
Semantic annotation, which is considered one of the semantic web applicative aspects, has been adopted by researchers from different communities as a paramount solution that improves searching and retrieval of information by promoting the richness of the content. However, researchers are facing challenges concerning both the quality and the relevance of the semantic annotations attached to the annotated document against its content as well as its semantics, without ignoring those regarding automation process which is supposed to ensure an optimal system for information indexing and retrieval. In this article, we will introduce the semantic annotation concept by presenting a state of the art including definitions, features and a classification of annotation systems. Systems and proposed approaches in the field will be cited, as well as a study of some existing annotation tools. This study will also pinpoint various problems and limitations related to the annotation in order to offer solutions for our future work.

A Collaborative Approach Toward Scientific Paper Recommendation Using Citatio...Melinda Watson
The document presents a collaborative approach for recommending scientific papers using citation context. It proposes using a 2-level paper-citation relation matrix to find similarities between papers based on whether they are co-cited or co-citing other papers. An evaluation of the approach is conducted using publicly available datasets. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms baseline approaches in terms of precision, recall, F1 score, mean average precision, and mean reciprocal rank. The approach allows researchers to find relevant publications regardless of previous research experience or area.

Indexing and abstracting are essential activities for any information unit to organize and provide access to information. Indexing describes the contents of works to create a list of subjects or headings to facilitate storage and retrieval. Abstracting reduces documents to their essence through secondary documents called abstracts, which help readers decide if they should read the full document. Together, indexing and abstracting provide effective and efficient navigation of information by reducing search space and evaluation time for users.
Citation tools and software can help researchers properly cite sources and manage bibliographies. Some popular tools include Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, RefWorks, ProQuest, EBSCO, Cite This For Me, WriteM, and Tropy. These tools allow users to import references from databases, organize citations, and automatically generate bibliographies in different styles. Many integrate with word processors to easily insert citations and format papers.

Guide to Referencing and developing a Bibliography
Important Note for Law Students: Whilst these referencing pages will be useful for most
students, Law students should note they are specifically required to use the OSCOLA
referencing guidelines (Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities), please see our
OSCOLA guide for detailed guidelines and examples
http://welcome.ohecampus.com/laureate/upload/LawSchoolCitationGuide2009.pdf
Also see these online guides to the OSCOLA referencing format
https://ilrb.cf.ac.uk/citingreferences/index.html#oscola
Also see our pages on Refworks and other citation software for managing your references
and developing your Bibliography.
What is referencing?
It is very important that whenever you find a reference you immediately make a note of all
the relevant bibliographical (author, title etc) details. It can be very difficult to retrace the
details later and you will need the information to cite the references at the end of your
assignment or dissertation.
When you write your assignment or dissertation you are required to refer to the work of other
authors. Each time you do so, it is necessary to identify their work by making reference to it -
both in the text of your assignment (called 'in-text' referencing) and in a list at the end of your
assignment (called a 'Reference List'). This practice of acknowledging authors is known as
'referencing'.
References must be provided whenever you use someone else's opinions, theories, data or
organisation of material. You need to reference information from books, articles, videos, web
sites, images, computers and any other print or electronic sources. A reference is required if
you:
• paraphrase (use someone else's ideas in your own words)
• summarise (use a brief account of someone else's ideas)
• quote (use someone else's exact words)
• copy (use someone else's figures, tables or structure)

Radical Reconstruction had some positive but limited impacts on African Americans in the South. It granted them citizenship and civil rights, along with the right to vote and hold office. However, these new rights and protections were short-lived and faced intense resistance. Widespread discrimination and violence against African Americans continued after Reconstruction ended. Overall, while Radical Reconstruction offered some new opportunities, its impacts did not fundamentally change the unequal status that African Americans faced in the South.

This lab report describes an embryo rescue experiment using Viburnum lantana seeds. The seeds were treated with sulfuric acid to sterilize and soften them. Then the embryos were scraped out from under the seed coat and endosperm and placed on hormone-free media. Of the embryos isolated, 33% were intact. Of those intact embryos, 33% developed into plants. The report records the growth process of the rescued embryos as they progressed from dormant to active growth.
The document discusses the importance of labeling genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food. It notes that while GMOs are commonly used, there is disagreement over whether they should be labeled. Supporters of labeling argue that it provides benefits to consumers by allowing them to make informed choices. Additionally, not labeling GMOs infringes on consumer freedom and could start a public education campaign about GMOs. Critics argue that labeling is unnecessary since the FDA has deemed GMOs safe. The document examines arguments on both sides of the issue.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Abstract
Publishing research papers is an integral part of a researcher's professional life.
Every research article will invariably provide large number of citations/bibliographic
references of the papers that are being cited in that article. All such citations are to be
rendered in the citation style specified by a publisher and they should be accurate.
Researchers, over a period of time, accumulate a large number of bibliographic
references that are relevant to their research and cite relevant references in their own
publications. Efficient management of bibliographic references is therefore an
important task for every researcher and it will save considerable amount of
researchers' time in locating the required citations and in the correct rendering of
citation details. In this paper, we are reporting the features of Aigaion, a web-based,
open-source software for reference management.
1. Introduction
A citation or bibliographic citation is a reference to a book, article, web page,
or any other published item. The reference will contain adequate details to facilitate
the readers to locate the publication. Different citation systems and styles are being
used in different disciplines like science, social science, humanities, etc. Referencing
is also a standardised method of acknowledging the original source of information or
idea.
Bibliography (originally from Greek, bibliographia which literally means
book writing) is essentially a list of books. However, a bibliographic reference can be
2. 2
to any published content, including a web page. In the rest of the paper, a generic
term, reference, is being used to mean bibliographic reference or citation.
Reference management can be at individual or departmental or institution
level. The Reference Management System can be manual, electronic or a combination
of both. Manual reference management systems involve recording of reference details
of articles on index cards and storing them in a filing cabinet. Electronic reference
management systems make use of specialized software for the purpose. Some may
use a combination of both manual and electronic systems to manage their references.
In this paper, we are sharing our initial experiences with Aigaion, a web-
based, open-source software for managing the references in an institutional
environment.
2. Need for Reference Management
Research works are communicated through journal or conference papers.
During the course of writing research papers, authors acknowledge several other
research works that are being referred in the paper. The style in which the references
are listed is governed by the publishers. Different publishers expect the references to
be listed in different styles. It could also vary across the journals published by the
same publisher. Also, there should be integrity in the bibliographic details of
references. Since active researchers publish periodically and each publication
invariably will have many references, researchers need to make use of a tool for
managing the references efficiently.
A systematic means of organizing the references is termed as reference
management. The benefits of systematic reference management include:
- Re-use of references
- Consistency in rendering of references
- Easy to locate the publication details
- If the reference management is done using software then the references can
be
easily generated in different styles as needed by a publisher or learned
journal.
3. 3
Also, the references can be shared with others
Reference management process basically involves the following three steps:
1. Capturing of bibliographic details – The first step is to record and store the required
bibliographic details.
2. Retrieval of references – When required, the stored references are retrieved using
some mechanism appropriate to the system in which references are
being maintained.
3. Rendering of references – The retrieved references are formatted according to the
style
prescribed by a publisher
3. Referencing styles
In the course of writing a scholarly article, the author(s) may refer to various
types of literature, which may include:
- Books/Chapters of books
- Journal articles
- Conference papers
- Manuscripts
- Personal communications
- E-mails
- Web pages
- Unpublished articles, etc.
The bibliographic citations for each of these documents have to be furnished
in different sequence within a reference style.
There are many ‘proper’ different ways of citing references. This is because,
different publishers insist on different types of citation styles. Each of these styles will
be appropriate for the specific publication. One can find many instances where a
publisher insists on different types of citation styles for different journals in the same
discipline. Many a times, conference organizers prescribe their own citation styles.
There are two major styles of referencing:
1. Harvard (author-date) system
4. 4
2. Vancouver (numerical) system
3.1 Harvard (author-date) system
In this style of referencing, the source of information/idea is acknowledged in
two places in the publication:
- in the text of a publication by including the name of the first author followed
by the year of publication
e.g. "The author has discussed the implications of these proposals on the
National Health Service in another paper (Loft, 1991). Other writers have
commented on related issues, notably Lane (1992, 1994) and Lewis (1995,
p.54). "
- in a reference list at the end of the text, which gives the full bibliographic
details of the works referred to or cited.
3.2 Vancouver (numerical) system
This system differs from Harvard system by using a number series to indicate
references. Bibliography lists these in numerical order as they appear in the text.
e.g. "The author has discussed the implications of these proposals on the
National Health Service in another paper (1). Other writers have commented
on related issues, notably Lane (2, 3) and Lewis (4)."
Based on the two reference systems mentioned above there are number of
variations which are adapted and adopted by various publishers. Some of the
prominent style manuals include:
1. The ACS Style Guide of the American Chemical Society.
2. APA style by the American Psychological Association.
3. The Chicago Manual of Style published by the University of Chicago Press
4. IEEE Style Guide of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers,
America
5. MLA Style Manual by the Modern Language Association of America.
It is quite evident from the facts stated above that reference management can
be quite challenging and time consuming, especially if it has to be done manually.
5. 5
4. Reference Management Software
The Reference Management System can be manual, electronic or a
combination of both. Manual reference management systems involve recording of
reference details of articles on index cards and storing them in a filing cabinet.
Electronic reference management systems use specialized software for the purpose.
Reference management software packages can help in managing the references
effectively and efficiently. These software packages usually maintain a back-end
database of reference details and provide a user interface, which facilitates in
searching and rendering of references in the desired styles. Typical functions of
reference management software include:
- import references from a variety of sources like bibliographic databases
- search, edit, sort and share references
- render references in a variety of formats
- select references to incorporate them in a word-processed document and
format
them automatically
- store links to documents or copies of them within database
4.1. Trends in reference management software
From a review of literature about the reference management software, it is
clear that, the task of managing references with computers is not a new agenda.
Klyce and Rózsa (1983) describe a set of programs which implemented a
personal reference management and information retrieval system on a UNIX-based
minicomputer which operates in a multi-user configuration with a host of user-
friendly utilities that assist entry of reference material, its retrieval, and formatted
printing for associated tasks.
Kunin (1985) illustrates how to set up a bibliographic system using dBASE II and
how to prepare citations for storage and retrieval using combinations of key words
and Boolean operators, how to prepare selected lists of references and arrange them in
alphabetic order or by subject heading, and how to print tailored lists of citations. Sato
et. al (1996) describe development of MacRefer, a reference management system,
using HyperTalk on Macintosh personal computers. Using this program, one can
6. 6
automatically acquire data from databases created by EndNote Plus and from OVID
or Medlars formatted records downloaded via an online use of Medline. Leung and
Peng (2000) state that the management of the shared bibliographic information,
including the hyperlinks to online papers, was identified as an important issue for
collaborative research in their research projects. Although the use of free software
such as BibDB was suggested, to reduce cost, the personal use of BibDB cannot
meet all the requirements for bibliographic management of collaborative projects. To
facilitate the sharing of bibliographic information among the project collaborators
who are scattered over the world, the authors have started to build a bibliography
management Web site and databases. Haase et. al. (2004) describes the design and
implementation of Bibster, a Peer-to-Peer system for exchanging bibliographic data
among researchers. Bibster exploits ontologies in data storage, query formulation,
query routing and answer presentation. Kessler and Van Ullen (2005) discuss about
free or inexpensive Web-based tools that have been developed to create citations and
format bibliographies.
4.2 Software Tools for Reference Management
A quick search on the Internet reveals that there are many tools to choose
from. These tools can be broadly categorized into commercial software and open-
source software. Amongst the commercial software, the most popular ones are
EndNote (http://www.endnote.com), Reference Manager (http://www.risinc.com),
and ProCite (http://www.procite.com). There are several open-source tools for
reference management. These include Aigaion (http://www.aigaion.nl), Basilic
(http://artis.imag.fr/Software/Basilic), Pubs Online (http://pubsonline.indiana.edu),
refBASE (http://refbase.sourceforge.net), Wikindx (http://wikindx.sourceforge.net),
etc. We had carried out a comparative study of these tools and found that Aigaion has
all the essential features needed in a reference management tool.
4.3. Aigaion
Aigaion is a web-based reference management system that allows users to
classify publications in a self-chosen (overlapping) topic structure (Aigaion, n.d.). It
offers BibTex and RIS import and export. It is hosted at http://www.aigaion.nl/ and is
7. 7
downloadable from Sourceforge at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/aigaion.
Aigaion is distributed under GNU General Public License (GPL). Aigaion is written
in PHP/MySQL and requires a web server. The latest release of the project is Aigaion
2.0.1.beta on January 10, 2008. The name Aigaion is taken from the Greek
mythological god of sea storms who had fifty heads and hundred hands. For the
purpose of exploring this software, we have installed Aigaion version 1.3.4 on a GNU
Linux platform. A screenshot of the homepage of the software installed and
customized for Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, can be seen in figure 1. Brief
description of various features of Aigaion follows:
Figure 1: Homepage of Aigaion.
4.3.1 Categorization of References
The references in the Aigaion database can be assigned to relevant topic/s. The
topics are customizable. A reference can be assigned to multiple topics, if needed. If a
topic is not available in the list, the user can create one. Topics can be hierarchical and
it can be displayed in a fully decomposed or partially decomposed manner. There is,
however, no compulsion that a reference has to be assigned to any topic at all.
8. 8
As it is a multi-user system, Aigaion database will accumulate a lot of
references, which are likely to be categorized under different topics. Aigaion allows
the users to subscribe to - or unsubscribe from - any topic. This will facilitate in the
quick retrieval of references by the users. By default, a new user will not be
subscribed to any of the topics. To review the topics that already exist in Aigaion,
users have to go to the topic review page, and subscribe to the topics that they are
interested in. Such topic/s will then appear in their topic tree.
4.3.2 Publication lists
Aigaion offers multiple ways to browse through the references it holds. The
default listing sorts all publications in the database by year. Users can also browse the
publications sorted by title, by publication type (like journal article, conference
proceedings, etc.) or by topic. Each item in the topic list provides the citation details
of a particular publication and is hyperlinked to its complete bibliographic details.
Upon clicking an item in the topic list, full bibliographic details are shown.
The item can also be edited provided the user has enough rights to do so. The actual
full-text document/s can be attached to the bibliographic entries, either through
uploading or by providing the URI. A publication can have more than one attachment
in different formats. One of the attachments can be selected as the default.
Attachments can be downloaded by users who are logged in with the appropriate user
rights by clicking on the file icons.
4.3.3 Adding new references
References can be added in two ways, entering it manually or by importing
from a external source in BibTeX or RIS format. One can enter a new reference
manually only if the author already exists in the Aigaion database. If an author name
does not exist then it should be added. In the generation of formatted bibliography,
rendering of the author name is a critical factor. Aigaion takes care of this by
providing a separate interface for entering different parts of author names, first name,
surname, middle name and von part (e.g. da in Vasco da Gama). This will facilitate in
rendering author names in the required sequence.
9. 9
Manual entry of references ensures quality of metadata. On the other hand, if
references are being imported, the user has to take care of the accuracy of
bibliographic details and duplicate entries. The system does give a caution notice
about these while importing from an external source. A Mozilla Firefox extension is
available for easy importing of BibTeX or RIS. This will help users of Firefox
browser to import references directly from the external databases into Aigaion.
4.3.4 Annotating the references with notes
Where a publication abstract is a purely descriptive summary of a publication, an
annotation can be both descriptive and critical. Annotations are commonly used to:
• place a publication in a context
• describe the relevance of a publication
• summarize the strengths and weaknesses of a publication
Aigaion offers the 'note' facility to create annotations. This will help users to
comment on the publications for future references and share their opinion about a
particular publication among peers in a collaborative environment.
4.3.5 Generating a bibliography in different formats
Aigaion supports formatted export to text, html or rtf in common citation
styles. It uses OSBib style formatting. OSBib is an open source bibliographic
formatting engine written in PHP that uses XML style files to store formatting data
for in-text citations/footnotes and bibliographic lists. Styles bundled with the
download include APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, Harvard, British Medical Journal
and IEEE. All the publications in a topic or database or only selected references can
be exported to make a formatted bibliography. There are options for exporting
bibliography in HTML, RTF and text formats. Users can also export the selected or
all references in BibTeX and RIS formats. This supports interoperability between
systems which uses same formats and is helpful when migrating from Aigaion to
some other reference management system.
4.3.6 Search
10. 10
There are several ways to search Aigiaon for publications. The most
straightforward method is using the quick-search box in the top-right corner. One can
enter one or more keywords in the quick-search box. When searching for a specific
combination of keywords, quotes can be used for grouping the keywords. The second
method is by following the ‘Search’ link from the menu. Here, one can restrict search
results to publications that are assigned or not assigned to one or more topics and
search for keywords, using the same syntax as above.
4.3.7 User profile
Users can set their profiles according to their preferences. The administrator
can set individual user rights, from read-only to administrator. Administrator can also
assign users to different user groups. Aigaion can also be set for customizable
anonymous access.
4.3.8 Limitations of Aigaion
One of the limitations of Aigaion is the lack of registration by email for the
prospective users. If somebody wants an account to use Aigaion they have to contact
the administrator to acquire one. Another noticeable limitation is the lack of the
privacy setting of a reference. Since it is primarily meant for sharing of references,
this feature was not incorporated in the initial versions. But Aigiaion 2.0 is supporting
the setting of permission for publications. One can set the access level to private or
public. It can be specified whether a particular reference is only for reading or it can
be edited as well by others.
5. Conclusions
We are exploring the possibility of implementing web-based reference
management software for the benefit of researchers of our Institute. To this end, we
are experimenting with different options.
Based on the limited experience that we have gained with Aigaion, to us, it
looks a useful tool for electronic reference management in an institutional
environment. Shortly, we intend to conduct a user study to see what the users have to
say about the product. Based on the outcome of the user study, a final decision can be
taken.
11. 11
Also, creating awareness amongst the researchers about the existence and
availability of reference management tools is very essential
