[Foundation-l] UPEI's proposal for a "universal citation index"

[phoebe ayers]

There have been a number of proposals floated in the Wikimedia
community over the years to build a wiki-based project for collecting
journal citation information. For those interested in that topic, you
might want to check out the University of Prince Edward Island's
"knowledge for all" project proposal -- it proposes to build an open
universal citation index (to serve as an alternative to the many
hundreds of proprietary citation index products that libraries
currently buy). This of course is not the first attempt at this
problem, but it's an interesting proposal that's getting a bit of buzz
in the library community.
