Visual-Meta has been implemented in the Augmented Text Company’s ‘Author’ & ‘Reader’ as proof of concept, providing the abilities to Copy As Citation, Fold into Table of Contents, Interactive Glossary and more. Code for parsing Visual-Meta in your own project is available for free on request, just contact us.
Visualisation
Visual-Meta also supports powerful visualisations of how documents connect.

WordPress
Visual-Meta can be copied from web pages built in WordPress, including this site. Simply install and then visitors can select any text, which will result in a little ‘liquid dot’. The user can then click on this and choose to copy as a citation which the user can then paste as a citation in software which supports pasting BibTeX or Visual-Meta as Citation, such as the software Author we have developed.

Data Extraction
Scholarcy.com can now read Visual-Meta directly, in addition to the scarping they normally have to do. Founder of Scholarcy.com Phil Gooch writes in an email “Much easier than trying to scrape the data from the PDF.” An example is this document in the ACM Digital Library: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3465336.3475093 which renders like this on Scholarcy via Visual-Meta: http://engine.scholarcy.com/flashcard/https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3465336.3475093
