Reference Linking
Differentiate your electronic publications by turning citations, footnotes, and other reference text into interactive links that take your user directly to referenced content or applications. SmartRef™ captures and finely parses a wide variety of citations from electronic or hard copy using an XML or SGML DTD - or similarly granular proprietary tagging structure. If you publish reference works, directories or other data-intensive content, we can keep your content accurate, up-to-date, and completely surprise-free with Spiderbase™, our latest linking methodology. We can deliver your data in XML, PDF, OEB or any proprietary format. Our reference linking service:
