What is AcademiXML?

AcademiXML is a markup language for writing, connecting and sharing academic text. It allows the the author to tag her own piece of writing with the author name, time, location, keywords and other relevant information so her text can be filtered by a chosen keyword or be associated with other authors’ texts.

AcademiXML supports the addition of context or “meta-data” about where the writing came from, in a form meaningful both to machines and humans to facilitate the searching of data streams they particularly need. This helps spontaneous, unplanned connections to be made between texts from different sources with common contexts.

A fundamental idea of AcademiXML is to break down the traditional book or a thesis into smaller chunks of knowledge so they can be readily re-arranged, be filtered, read non-linearly and aggregated into other books or collections of knowledge, similar with regard to (but in AcademiXML‘s case, more fine-grained) what liquid publications puts it [liquidpub] ‘groupings of publications that can be based on topic and time but also on arbitrary rules in terms of what is included and how the quality of publications is assessed for them to be included in the collection.’[/liquidpub]

AcademiXML is currently in active development in collaboration with my colleague Cesar Harada .
