More than Passive Reading: Interactive Features in Digital Libraries

At the moment it is not very common to actively work with material stored on an Internet server system. Once the right information resource is found, only passive information consumption of documents is provided by a majority of information systems. While this is appropriate for a kind of reading material, this is a limitation for scientific articles. Scientific articles are often read more than once, are usually annotated while they are explored, and are often the root of further investigations. In this paper we explore two features which will be available in the Journal of Universal Computer Science (J.UCS). These features will support the reader in exploring articles and will make it much easier to turn information into knowledge.
