English abstract:
To researchers in every discipline, Internet is quickly becoming the dominating
environment to do literature studies. Commercial bibliographic databases tend to
be too general, are not up-to-date and require special skills and effort to be searched.
On the other hand researchers also publish on the Web and collaboratively that
can create indexes of relevant publications. CUMINCAD is a bibliographic index
that compiles papers related to computer aided architectural design. Implemented
with a database, it allows searching and browsing in the ways usual on the Web. It
provides a "historical evolution" to learn from previous efforts and draws attention
to older original works that could have been ignored because they could not be
found on the Web otherwise. The authors believe that CUMINCAD will help focus
future CAAD research and improve the education. CUMINCAD work started in
1998 and is available at www.fagg.uni-lj.si/cumincad/. This paper focusses on the
design and development of the database and presents some ideas concerning its
advanced use in the analysis of research efforts.
