ScholarLynk, a "collaborative content management and scholarly communication" prototype from Microsoft Research that is being unveiled this week at ECDL, the European Conference on Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries, a leading scientific forum on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues.

ScholarLynk has its technical roots in an MSR project that I wrote about back in 2008, “Research Desktop,” combining semantic analysis with Web 2.0-style user interfaces. It’s designed to enable the following key functions:
+ Create “Reading lists” as you research
o Heterogeneous, local and online resources (for example emails, scholarly papers, web pages, local files)
o Metadata, annotations and associations
+ Manage and maintain your growing reading lists
o Personal
o Shared
o Collaborative
+ Communicate in your chosen community (or communities)
o Follow (akin to Twitter lists)
o Wall (akin to Facebook)
o Conversation
o Feedback and rate each others’ research
An open-source tool that simplifies the development and validation of semantic ontologies, making ontologies more accessible to a wide audience of authors and enabling semantic content to be integrated in the authoring experience, capturing the author’s intent and knowledge at the source, and facilitating downstream discoverability.
