From implicit to explicit knowledge: a tool for preserving and sharing mental links in science

Published:15 February 2014Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper we propose MentaLink, a tool for preserving and sharing mental links in science. MentaLink is intended as a public knowledge base of links between scientific publications. Contributors can collaboratively define and edit links between entire articles or specific text passages. MentaLink builds on the idea of typed links, allowing authors to explicitly specify how the publications relate to each other, e.g., whether they share the problem statement, whether one publication is built on another or whether they contain contradictory results.
