Until a few years ago I often slept with a pencil and a pad by my bed to scribble down crazy, middle of the night thoughts. This blog is now the closest I have so the latest brain-fart is here.
A number of developments surfaced this week, and other commentors picked up on the potential for automated, user-centric aggregated content - e.g. mtrip, paper.li and ??? Also, Scott Karp introduced the notion of the Content Graph a few weeks ago and I think they're all related.

A number of developments surfaced this week, and other commentors picked up on the potential for automated, user-centric aggregated content - e.g. mtrip, paper.li and ??? Also, Scott Karp introduced the notion of the Content Graph a few weeks ago and I think they're all related.
Content Trees:
- Start with a 'seed' research paper or article or news story
- Build a concept graph to 'x' nodes distant using the citations in the paper
- highlight Key readings - based on Impact factors, downloads and rewteets, mentions in the blogsophere
- Pick out key authors (with > 1 articles in the graph)
- Build a timeline
- Trawl OA and IRs for working papers
- Include conference proceedings/Call for papers
- Overlay geo-tagged/geographical data - any clusters?
- Suggets funding and publishing options based on profiles of research bodies and publishers
Will think on this a bit further I think...
