ANNOUNCE: Functional Programming Bibliography
I am pleased to announce the Functional Programming Bibliography at http://www.catamorphism.net/ The functional programming bibliography was created in the hope that it will be a useful resource to the functional programming community. The site is still in an early stage of development, and is pretty raw, and incomplete in a number of ways. Keyword categorization, in particular, is still fairly spotty. It currently contains in excess of 1500 references, heavily slanted toward Haskell-related topics, and contains links to publicly available versions of many papers, as well as links to gated versions of some papers. I am eager for suggestions as to how the site could be made more useful. Regards, James Russell

Awesome indeed!

Allow (registered?) users to submit links to papers that are missing? /Niklas

Yeah, I've certainly been thinking about that. First, I will somehow have to overcome being a complete control freak. The very first thought that crosses my mind is "how will I ensure that author names are well normalized?" Sad, isn't it?

well, if you have boundless time and energy, you could just allow people to submit the links to you and then you normalize and post them! (Is it essential that they *are* normalized? Also, by the way, your website says the data is (semi)freely copyable, under CC BY-NC-SA, but I didn't notice any way to access the database data directly (although searching with no constraints, it seems, shows everything in a rendered format) Is there related bibliographic-website work on the Web? Somehow my intuition suggests that it ought to be a fairly easy solved problem that's not helped by a software/database being specific to (in this case) functional programming topics (a slightly fuzzy category); although perhaps the small-ness and fun-ness are nice, warm, fuzzy things in themselves. :-) -Isaac

Yes. Take a German name (like mine), or a Spanish one, or ..., and you get problems with identifying. For example, ACMs Digital Library is not good at that.

As I just mentioned, http://researchr.org/. (Which, by the way, comes from Eelco Visser, a long time Haskell friend, and is based on the Stratego/XT work than many here will have heard of or seen.)

You may want to have a look at the "Identify publications" feature of http://researchr.org/ (and at research.org in general, which might also be of interest to other Haskellers in academia at least).

Allow (registered) users to modify (or to correct) entries. On submission of a new entry, search for similar authors that are already stored and ask "Do you mean ...". -- Underestimating the novelty of the future is a time-honored tradition. (D.G.)

Not at all. It takes a compulsive control freak to assemble a good bibliography. Besides, I *want* the names to be well normalized. (If you'd seen the BibTeX entries that I get from my coauthors, you would know why...) NR

+1 However, I still think you should let users submit links. There are really two different issues here, one is to suggest a completely new paper, another is to provide a link to an already listed paper where there's currently no link provided. A lot of the papers only have a DOI link currently. Submitting such links won't need any name normalization, as the paper is already listed. For papers not already in your database, maybe have a two-tier system where not-yet-checked entries are marked as such when they are shown? Providing bibtex entries would be nice as well. Cheers, /Niklas

The more of these features are added, the closer it gets to duplicating citeulike.org IMO and you'd be better off making use of a citeulike group. I haven't used the groups feature much but there are several haskell/fp related groups on there , e.g. http://www.citeulike.org/group/4254 . I think there are also a great deal more papers etc on there than are represented in groups (e.g. there are more FP/Haskell papers in my own 'library' than in the group I linked to). Regards, Jim

For the control freaks among us, I would (again) suggest to try research.org vs. citeulike. (I use both, naturally the latter only recently.) The "identify publications" feature addresses the problem with non-normalized names, and Eelco is very susceptible to feedback and feature requests. So there is a true chance for us control freaks to impact how things get implemented, and how the rules are set. This is not meant to discourage the new, FP specific bibliography of the original poster. I like it. It shows all my relevant papers, with a proper author name, despite the Umlaut I'm "burdened" with. :-) Ciao, Janis. -- Jun.-Prof. Dr. Janis Voigtländer http://www.iai.uni-bonn.de/~jv/ mailto:jv@iai.uni-bonn.de

How does this compare with readscheme? http://readscheme.org/ There was a Haskell subcategory as http://haskell.readscheme.org/ , but that link seems to be dead now.
