LA Referencia has announced that it is now integrated to intelligo, a browser of large volumes of documents of Ibero-American repositories. This development allows users to experience a search path not only associated to final documents, but also to the deployment of concepts derived from several information sources and its emergent relationships.

This will see the metadata of national nodes from nine Latin-American countries integrated to LA Referencia, to be explored by Intelligo. The integration gives an aggregated value to LA Referencia. The integration of LA Referencia to the semantic search engine Intelligo is part of an agreement signed in November 2012 by the Organization of American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI) and RedCLARA, with the goal to complement efforts to foster scientific visibility of the region.
