I normally start with a DOI here so you can see article in question.
Not here.
Here’s why:
Sig.ma: Live views on the Web of Data Journal of Web Semantics. (10 pages)
Sig.ma: Live Views on the Web of Data WWW ’10 Proceedings(demo, 4 pages)
Sig.ma: Live Views on the Web of Data (8 pages) http://richard.cyganiak.de/2008/papers/sigma-semwebchallenge2009.pdf
Sig.ma: Live Views on the Web of Data (4 pages) http://richard.cyganiak.de/2008/papers/sigma-demo-www2010.pdf
Sig.ma: Live Views on the Web of Data (25 pages) http://fooshed.net/paper/JWS2010.pdf
Before saying anything ugly, ;-), this is some of the most exciting research I have seen in a long time. I will cover that part of it in a following post. But, to the matter at hand, bibliographic control.
Five (5) different articles, two published in recognized journals that all have the same name? (The demo articles are the same but have different headers/footers, page numbers and so would likely be indexed as different articles.)
I will be able to resolve any confusion by obtaining the article in question.
But that isn’t an excuse.
I, along with everyone else interested in this research, will waste a small part of our time resolving the confusion. Confusion that could have been avoided for everyone.
Not unlike everyone who does the same search having to tread the same google glut.
With no way to pass on what we have resolved, for the benefit of others.
Questions:
- Help these authors out. How would you suggest they avoid this in the future? Use of the name is important. (3-5 pages, no citations)
- Help the library out. How will you deal with multiple papers with the same title, authors, pub year? (this isn’t uncommon) (3-5 pages, citations optional)
- How would you use topic maps to resolve this issue? (3-5 pages, no citations)
