Work in Progress on CUMINCAD
Bob Martens, Žiga Turk · ACADIA quarterly · 2000
This article follows up an earler publication in the ACADIA Quarterly (19:3 2000), in which the intial development of a"Cumulative Index on CAD" is presented. The First 2000 EntriesFirst of all the compilation CAAD-related proceedings was tackled.Some proceedings were available in digital form and were supplied by the conference chairs, otherwise plain textfiles were created by means of Optical Character Recognition (OCR).More and more conference contributions are provided on-line, thus supporting the continuous supplementation of subsequent conferences.The CADLINE-Database [1] developed under Yehuda Kalay's coordination comprises approx.1000 records and has been imported into CUMINCAD as well.By the year 2000 a high degree of completeness regarding the published papers related to CAAD was already achieved, particularly in proceedings of the conferences of the worldwide operating CAAD-associations (ACADIA, CAADRIA, ECAADE and SIGRADI).The CUMINCAD-interface allows for expansions.The entry of relevant dissertation and (research-) reports could be envisaged. MaintenanceUpon registration of CUMINCAD-records in a co-ordinated manner the risk of multiple entries can be kept low.Data protection and copyright principally call for novel reaction mechanisms regarding Internet.E-mail addresses are normally issued with every contribution.As far as copyright is concerned we take for granted that bibliographic data is public and that by publishing the abstract only we are not infringing anyone's right to the full paper.Such is the practice of many organization that collect abstracts of academic work.We provide links to the full text, if available, but the full text is published outside of CUMINCAD and is not our responsibility.
