About text:
"BibSonomy is run by the Knowledge & Data Engineering Group of the  
University of Kassel, Germany. This system is intended to support  
everyone, but in particular researchers, in sharing bookmarks and  
bibliographies. One main reason is that we have to deal with  
bibliographic data all the time, needed a more coherent way to manage  
our bibtex data. Another - even more important - reason for setting up  
BibSonomy is that social resource sharing systems are very popular  
nowadays, but do still lack theoretical foundations. Our aim is to  
tackle the research challenges that arise around systems like  
BibSonomy, and to provide more sophisticated support for tasks like  
browsing, searching, ranking, and community discovery."


Kind Regards,
Nils K. Windisch
