Recently, I wrote that, "One of the things I would like to see happen with the burgeoning open access movement is something that would let me do things like visualize "dependencies" and pull up articles at will...." Today, I'm catching up on OpenAccess News (OpenAccess newsfeed here), and lo and behold, it seems some enterprising researchers have already started working on this:

PaperScope is a graphical tool for exploring the data holdings of the Astrophysics Data System (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/). It enables the user to explore the relationships between Astrophysics papers and locate papers of research interest.
You can read more about PaperScope, or if you prefer pictures, just check out its interaction example. How long till this comes to other services? For example, arXiv, the humongous math-science preprint repository formerly hosted by Los Alamos National Labs, has recently opened its API.
