On October 7th we released BibSonomy version 3.3.0. Mostly we fixed and polished code on the back end site. However, we also added an interesting new feature, the BibSonomy Genealogie.
This feature is a result of a joint project of the International Centre for Higher Education Research (INCHER-Kassel) and the Interdisciplinary Research Center for
Information System Design (ITeG) at the University of Kassel.
With this feature you are now able to search for dissertations posted as such in BibSonomy, and add information like the doctoral advisor, reviewers and so on. For this we provide new person-pages for authors that show their dissertation(s) and other works.To give it some initial content we imported over 1 million dissertations from the dissertation catalog of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB).
Our ultimate goal is to obtain a genealogy tree of the sciences such that everyone can search for their roots in academia.
So, post your dissertation, if you like, and add the links to your advisors, etc.
Happy tagging,
Tom
