Dear all:

(Sorry to resurrect an old thread...)

We've seen the release of several new freely available reference
string parsers in recent months.
The ParsCit team has also been updating the ParsCit package, and is
happy to announce a new version that improves on classification
accuracy, and adds training data in Italian, German and French and for
a different discipline of humanities. We've updated the classification
model to reflect these changes, which should be as easy to use as the
original ParsCit.

You can either download a copy of ParsCit for your own use, or use it
through a web services interface. We welcome your feedback and hope
that if you use ParsCit or any other freely available reference string
parsing tool that you can contribute annotated data to help make these
models more robust.

ParsCit is available from: http://wing.comp.nus.edu.sg/parsCit/
Current Distribution: http://wing.comp.nus.edu.sg/parsCit/parscit-080917.zip

and is a joint collaboration between Pennsylvania State University
(the folks who brought you CiteSeerX) as well as the National
University of Singapore.

Cheers,

Min

P.S. Integration with other freely available parsing systems is
hopefully in the works too. If you have something to contribute, we'll
be happy to commit some bandwidth into getting it integrated with
ParsCit.
