Bridge request

General information

• Host URI for the bridge (i.e. https://github.com): academia.edu/topics

• Which information would you like to see? There are various research topics available on academia.edu. The complete list of topics can be found at https://www.academia.edu/topics

The below examples show direct links for such topics as Semantic Web, Early Christianity, Content Based Image Retrieval https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Semantic_Web/MostRecent https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Early_Christianity/MostRecent https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Content-Based_Image_Retrieval/MostRecent

• How should the information be displayed/formatted?

Ideally, for each topic there must be a RSS link to facilitate the process of getting regular updates

Since all papers come out in different languages, while every user would normally read only in a few languages, it is also advisable to make a option in order to filter out any results that come out in languages other than the user can read ( I don't know if this is possible yet because this requires an artificial-intelligence engine to process new papers in order to determine the language identifier for each paper)

• Which of the following parameters do you expect?

  • [X] Title
  • [X] URI (link to the original article)
  • [X] Author
