Reference 2.0

Defining the Undefinable:

Reference 2.0 (like Web 2.0) has a different definition depending on the source. Indeed, being unable to come to one specific definition actually defines the 2.0 world. Dynamic, interactive and collaborative, Reference 2.0 is a changing idea.

Patterns found in Reference 2.0^[1]:

Collaboration (content)
Social Networking (outreach)
Customization (content, social networking)
Seamlessness (multiformat)
