The first example was using SEASR to analyze Zotero collection metadata.  SEASR is accessible through a Firefox plugin in the contextual menu.  This was just a proof-of-concept, and maybe not the most compelling example, but since Zotero is so popular it made sense.  Raw notes:

Integrating SEASR analytics with common scholarly tools

Examples: Zotero and SEASR:

•    Send collections to SEASR and get some analytics.
•    Examples: Authorship analysis

o    Author centrality analysis
o    Author Degree analysis
o    Author HITS analysis

•    Able to point the Zotero/SEASR plugin to your institutional SEASR services to get the kinds of analytics you want.
•    This is purely a service – no indexing to reuse previously analyzed data.

Example 1:
•    SEASR will only do the analysis.  Analytic results will be stored in the Zotero database as an attachment.
•    SEASR plug-in in context menu – Option to compute Flesch-Kincaid readability on a Zotero entry via Project Gutenberg.

Example 2:
•    Look for author centrality in a collection of articles saved in Zotero.  Returns centrality ranking and saves analysis as a Zotero attachment.

Example 3:
•    Export collections from Zotero to Fedora via SEASR.  (Is Fedora a useful way to share personal collections?).
