Here are external resources related to the Bibliographic Knowledge Network (BKN) project.

Participating Project:

  • Author Claim Sources, List of data sources for AuthorClaim registration service
  • Berkeley Computational Sciences Publications, List with links to full text of recent faculty publications, classified by topics
  • Berkeley Statistics Technical Reports, List with links to full text of selected faculty publications.
  • CC By Attribution License, License which allows users to freely share (copy, distribute and transmit) a work, and to remix to adapt the work, under the condition of attribution. License planned for use by most BKN nodes.
  • Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN), The central R related resource base, featuring a rapidly growing repository of currently about 1350 extension packages for R maintained at WU-Wien by Kurt Hornik and colleagues.
  • Computational Cognitive Science Lab, U.C. Berkeley, conducts research into the understanding of the computational and statistical foundations of human inductive inference, and uses this understanding to develop both better accounts of human behavior and better automated systems for solving the challenging computational problems that people solve effortlessly in everyday life.
  • Current Index to Statistics Management Committee, Includes three of the BKN participants: Pitman, Jim, Iacus, Stefano,Wickham, Hadley
  • Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, is generally recognized as one of the broadest, liveliest, and most distinguished departments of mathematics in the world, with 58 regular faculty members representing most of the major fields of current research, 150 graduate students, 600 upper-division undergraduate majors, and one of the finest mathematics libraries in the U.S.
  • Digital Object Identifier (DOI), A system for identifying content objects in the digital environment.
  • Django, A high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
  • Extensible Markup Language (XML), A general-purpose specification for creating custom markup languages.
  • MARC, MARC formats are standards for the representation and communication of bibliographic and related information in machine-readable form.
  • Mathematical Reviews, Since its founding in 1940, Mathematical Reviews(MR) has served researchers and scholars in the mathematical sciences by providing timely information on articles and books that contain new contributions to mathematical research. An important source of bibliographic data in mathematics.
  • Mathematical Sciences Classification Scheme MSC2010, Working Draft of MSC2010 produced jointly by the editorial staffs of Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt Math (ZMATH) in consultation with the mathematical community. Made public in July 2008. Subject classification planned for use by BKN nodes in mathematics

  • Python, A dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development.
  • R, A language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. The R language is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment which was developed at Bell Laboratories (formerly AT&T, now Lucent Technologies) by John Chambers and colleagues.
  • R Core Development Team, Core group of developers of the with write access to the R source. Includes three of the BKN particpants: Hornik, Kurt and Iacus, Stefano.
  • Ruby on Rails, An open-source web framework optimized for programmer happiness and sustainable productivity.
  • Springer Encyclopedia of Database Systems, The Encyclopedia of Database Systems will be a comprehensive reference to topics in database systems for students, researchers and practitioners who need a quick and authoritative reference to the subject of databases, data management, and database systems, such as basic concept definition, data processing algorithms, key results to date, and references to source materials.
  • ZMATH Serials Database, One of the world's leading interactive databases for high-quality STM journals, books and reference works.
  • ZMATH Serials Database, Database of more than 1100 Serials and 3500 Journals covered by Zentralblatt Math (ZMATH)
