Viewable pages

You get an introduction about visibility on the pages friends and group functions. In the following section, the most important URLs about visibility are listed.

Handling duplicates

On several pages, entries (publications) are displayed which come from different users. As an example, if two or more users within a group have posted the same publication, this publication will appear twice on the corresponding group page.
If this is not desired, the handling of such duplicate entries can be controlled with the parameter duplicates:

  • /group/kde/myown
    Shows all posts of all group members of the group 'kde' that are tagged with 'myown' (including duplicates).

  • /group/kde/myown?duplicates=no
    Shows all posts of all group members of the group 'kde' that are tagged with 'myown', not including duplicates: For each set of identical publications, only the first publication is displayed.

  • /group/kde/myown?duplicates=merged
    Shows all posts of all group members of the group 'kde' that are tagged with 'myown', with duplicates merged: For each set of identical publications, all tags are aggregated into a single post, which is displayed.

Export pages

  • /clipboard
    Here you can manage publication posts you picked with the "pick" button.

  • /export/
    Shows a variety of formats which you can select to export publication metadata.

The following URLs are shortcuts which can also be clicked on the export page.

RSS-Feeds

Reference metadata and formatting

  • /bib/

  • /bib/user/beate

HTML formatting

Semantic web formatting

URL or BibTeX pages

Content negotiation pages

Content negotiation helps to show a source with the same URL in different ways, according to the settings of the user agent. Adding the keyword uri to your URL enables content negotiation. This is available for the following pages:

  • URL and BibTeX pages
  • author pages
  • BibTeX-Key pages

Examples:

The current supported output formats are HTML, XML, RSS, RDF, and BibTeX. The user agent specifies a preferred output format in the HTML accept header defining the priority order with the help of q-values.
For example, the header definition

Accept:text/xml;q=1,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png;q=1,*/*;q=0.5

would trigger the following priority:

  • text/xml
  • image/png
  • text/html
  • text/plain
  • */*

  • /layout/simplehtml/
