BibSonomy
open-in-new
<p>BibSonomy is a <a href="/facts/Social_bookmarking/bnTGMkwb">social bookmarking</a> and <a href="/facts/Publication/C85p7aCC">publication</a>-sharing system. It aims to integrate the features of bookmarking systems as well as team-oriented publication management. BibSonomy offers users the ability to store and organize their <a href="/facts/Internet_bookmark/E4WpX0Ku">bookmarks</a> and publication entries and supports the integration of different communities and people by offering a social platform for literature exchange. </p><p>Both bookmarks and publication entries can be <a href="/facts/Tag_(metadata)/9CfRkCpI">tagged</a> to help structure and re-find information. As the descriptive terms can be freely chosen, the assignment of tags from different users creates a spontaneous, uncontrolled vocabulary: a <a href="/facts/Folksonomy/v9y7k16f">folksonomy</a>. In BibSonomy, the folksonomy evolves from the participation of research groups, learning communities and individual users, organizing their information needs. </p><p>Publication posts in BibSonomy are stored in the <a href="/facts/BibTeX/xakIAcCb">BibTeX</a> format. Export in other formats such as <a href="/facts/EndNote/0nklp8zk">EndNote</a> or <a href="/facts/HTML/sSc3fT78">HTML</a> (e. g. for publication list creation) is possible. </p><p>The service was developed by a team of students and scientists from the Institute of Knowledge and Data Engineering, the DMIR group at the <a href="/facts/University_of_W%25C3%25BCrzburg/LeK2xKVW">University of Würzburg</a> and the L3S Learning Lab Lower Saxony in <a href="/facts/Hannover/yghHUDI4">Hannover</a> and is mainly hosted by the <a href="/facts/University_of_Kassel/n7UydaPh">University of Kassel</a>.
