DBLife: A Community Information Management Platform for the Database Research Community

Community Information Management: There are many communities on the Web. Some are based on common interests, such as communities of movie goers, database researchers, and bioinformaticians, while others are based on a shared purpose, such as organization intranets and online technical support groups. Community members often want to discover, monitor, and query entities and relationships in their community. For example, database researchers might want to know if there is a connection between two given researchers, where a given paper has been cited in the past week, or what of interest has happened in the last 24 hours.
