| Abstract Text | BibViz is a software developed by Amancio Bouza for visualizing citation- and reference-relationships. This Software helps a user with an existing bibliography for a specific topic to explore further publications that are relevant for the topic. A publication counts as relevant for the topic if they cite publications that are already in the bibliography or if they’ve been cited by a publication in the bibliography. The existing solution had some issues. First, the process of manually adding citations the bibliography was very time consuming. And second, to visualize a bibliography it was necessary to adjust the file path in the source code. The first issue is solved by a web crawler which automatically adds citations and further publication information to the bibliography. The second issue is solved by a GUI which allows to choose an existing bibliography, to extend this bibliography with information the web crawler collects and to save the extended bibliography. |
