Jon Udell has an interesting piece on the importance of developing appropriate technologies to enable citation among web based content. His article doesn't say it, but open access to all scholarly content would make the task of developing citation technologies much easier.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
