ISBN: 3540686851 ISBN-13: 9783540686859 Publisher: Springer OUR PRICE: $104.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: August 2008 Annotation: When Don Swanson hypothesized a connection between Raynauda (TM)s phenomenon and dietary fish oil, the field of literature-based discovery (LBD) was born. During the subsequent two decades a steady stream of researchers have published articles about LBD and the field has made steady progress in laying foundations and creating an identity. LBD is an inherently multi-disciplinary enterprise where collaborations between the information and biomedical sciences are readily encountered. It is the hope and intention that this volume will plant a flag in the ground and inspire new researchers to the LBD challenge. |

It is curiously signi?cant that LBD is not "owned" by any p- ticulardiscipline, forexample, knowledge discoveryortextmining.
