PHP Programming Language - OpenLibra

Aigaion 11
Annotation of publications
Another feature that distinguishes Aigaion from other reference management software is that one or more
annotations can be added to each publication. These annotations can either be privately used by each single user, or
can be shared between all users. References to other publications are automatically recognized and replaced by
hyperlinks to the respective publication.
One or multiple internal or external attachments can be added to each publication.
Import and export of publications
Aigaion offers the following import and export features:
• Import and export of BibTeX and RIS data.
• Formatted export to TXT, HTML or RTF in common citation styles (such as APA, Chicago, Harvard, and IEEE).
• Export per email.
Other features
Aigaion is suitable both for individual users and for users groups. It offers the following user management features:
• Set individual user rights, from read-only access to administrator access.
• Manage user groups.
• Easy integration in other websites using single-sign-on mechanisms.
Aigaion is platform independent, written in PHP/MySQL. It offers multi-language support and an active group of
users contributing to the different supported languages.
History
Aigaion is mainly written by PhD students who could not find a reference management software that suited their
needs. The main features that have been available since the first release in 2005 are the topic tree and the possibilities
for annotations. As of the 2.0 release, Aigaion is based on a MVC architecture using the codeIgniter PHP
framework.
Aigaion is widely used at universities and scientific projects.
