This document discusses the limitations of existing community information services like BBS and newsgroups, highlighting the need for more advanced solutions. It examines how resources such as DBLP and MEDLINE can evolve to better serve their communities. Key features discussed include the ability to track related topics, coauthor relationships for paper reviews, and comprehensive information on research themes. The paper also emphasizes the complexity of information relationships and advocates for investment in improved information retrieval systems to increase their real-world impact, particularly in database and biomedicine research communities.
