Also an interesting idea, but does it answer the problem Michel brought up?
What "existing bibliographic utilities" are you talking about? If
you mean library catalogs, what does it give me that I don't already
have? I can already search a library catalog for works by so-and-so;
but not, usually, for articles, nor can I answer questions such as
"who's interested in such-and-such right now?" Or do you mean the
bibliographic-reference-managers, e.g. Procite, Papyrus, etc.:
but they're for a PC. What do all of us accessing the Internet from
a VAX, IBM, Unix workstation etc. do?
Sorry, I guess I sound dumb, but I don't really understand what's
being talked about here. Could Peter be more specific?
