Document Management For Research With Annotation?

Posted by timothy on from the just-sort-by-document-size dept.

msimm writes "I'm currently looking for a document management system for personal and research-related use. Having looked at Alfresco and KnowledgeTree along with a slew of similar open source document management systems they seem to have a common set of features including version control, archiving, document permission/ownership and search/indexing. What I'd like, in order to help me manage my own continually growing collection of pdf/doc/odf/rtf/txt files, would be something that allowed me to view and annotate documents (and possibly collaborate/share notes) without requiring me to download, edit and re-upload each document. Obviously there are plenty of capable document management systems out there, so I really suspect I've simply missed something and am hoping someone can point me to a better way to index, search, collaborate and keep and share notes on the ever increasing glut of useful information I seem to use and collect."

    I would vote for Sarah Palin.

    I would not believe science that doesn't agree with my insane and fraudulently presented world-view.

    I would vote for the same Republicans that got us in to the economic mess that Barrack Obama is fixing.

      Mr. Olberman, you should get off Slashdot and focus on your terrible ratings.

      Olberman doesn't think Obama is really fixing things. Like many liberals, he think Obama simply hasn't done anything he promised he would. We wish the President were anywhere near the socialist Republicans think he is. He's a moderate, a total centrist.
