Please help us beta test "FreeCite", a new citation parser for
non-structured bibliographic data. FreeCite is the result of
collaboration between the Brown University Library and Public Display,
a Providence-based software company founded by and employing many
Brown grads.  Public Display's core business is information
extraction. Partial funding for this project was provided by the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

FreeCite is implemented in Ruby on Rails and uses the CRF++ library
implementation of conditional random fields. The model is trained on
the CORA dataset  with lexical augmentation from the Directory of
Research and Researchers at Brown (DRR-B). The API and code are
available at: http://freecite.library.brown.edu.
