openacademia is an initiative to collect, share, publish and manage bibliographical information, the Semantic Web-way.
Information about scientific publications is often maintained by individual researchers. Reference management software such as EndNote and Bibtex help researchers to maintain a personal collection of bibliographic references. (These are typically references to one’s own publications and also those that have been read and cited by the researcher in his own work.)
Just had a quick look at openacademia.org. Wonderful – and a great use of the simile timeline.
