SemreX: a Semantic Peer-to-Peer Scientific References Sharing System

The design and implementation of SemreX is studied in this paper, which is a semantic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) scientific references sharing system. Compared with other systems, SemreX extracts the bibliographic information from the PDF file directly, categorizes the paper into a sub-field of ACM Topic based on the semantic matching, and provides PDF file exchanging and comments of papers sharing in the P2P manner. The routing algorithms in the prototype system are discussed, and the heterogeneous reference formats are investigated, which is an obstacle needs to be cleared to improve the accuracy of extraction.
