Our citation-linking network today covers tens of millions of articles and other content items from thousands of scholarly and professional publishers.
Ovid LinkSolver is a comprehensive, OpenURL resource linking solution that expands the power of linking to a wide variety of internet resources through the LinkSolver Administrative Tool.
Expect to see an emphasis on the scholarly and research implications of the acquisition. I’m no Ph.D., but it boggles my mind to think what we might be able to learn about ourselves and the world around us from this wealth of data. And I’m certain we’ll learn things that none of us now can even possibly conceive.
ROME is an set of open source Java tools for parsing, generating and publishing RSS and Atom feeds.

ZXing (pronounced "zebra crossing") is an open-source, multi-format 1D/2D barcode image processing library implemented in Java. Our focus is on using the built-in camera on mobile phones to photograph and decode barcodes on the device, without communicating with a server. We currently have production-quality support for:
Freescience allows any researcher to share his scientific papers (as well as notes, data and designs draws, ecc...) into a P2P OAI-PMH compliant network, by mean of which your works will be instantly available to hundred of thousands researchers worldwide. You can also browse the huge OAI archive (about 1 million documents from the best research institutes) and download their full text for free.
