A community literature access system that facilitates efficient and effective access to reference lists, promoting collaboration and information sharing among researchers. It provides integrated units for insiders and supports easy access to the community's own publication evolution for outsiders.

Community Literature Access System Hong Cheng hcheng3@uiuc.edu
Motivation • Researchers within a community share common research interests • They can share information within the group • They have close focuses and their work can be treated as an integrated unit for outsiders. • A community literature access system can help • For insider • Provide efficient and effective access and analysis of reference lists • For outsider • Provide information access of the community’s own publication evolution
For Insider – Current Solution • A partial solution • Students within a group often share a long reference list (bib file) when writing a paper • Still have to manually go over the list to identify relevant references • Also has the version control issues
For Insider – Future Solution • Future solution • Build a system to organize the references • Users can specify query to retrieve relevant entries like • “Find papers about association rules” • “What is the most efficient algorithm for cube computation?” • Can also provide analysis for research theme evolution
For Outsider – Current Solution • A research community often focuses on a few topics and produces a series of papers on them • Desirable to provide better organization and access support for outsiders • Partial solution • Just list each published paper on the homepage with miscellaneous topics in the order of years • Hard for outsiders to trace the update on one particular topic
For Outsider – Future Solution • Future solution • Organize the community’s own publication lists to support query like • Q: “Find Cube computation algorithms in your group” • A: • H-Cubing, Han, Pei, Dong and Wang, SIGMOD01 • Star-Cubing, Xin, Han, Li and Wah, VLDB03 • MM-Cubing, Shao, Han and Xin, SSDBM04 • Minimal Cubing, Li, Han and Gonzalez, VLDB04
Possible Solution • Organize references in database, instead of text file • Partition them into categories according to topic • Figure out the relations between papers in a category • Apply data mining techniques to study the literature evolution trend • System update and maintenance issues
