A tool is presented that is capable of reading from, writing to and converting between various sources. Currently supported file formats are ROOT, HBOOK, HDF, XML, SQLITE and a few text file formats. A plugin mechanism decouples the file-format specific "backends" from the main library. All data are internally represented as "heterogeneous hierarchic tuples"; no other data structure exists in the DataHarvester.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
