What is its purpose? Is it checking links that some journalist used as references for a story?

I just looked there but still don't understand exactly what they do. As for their bot, I'm guessing that it's a backlink checker for their site.

Thanks keyplyr. Yes apparently that's one of the things they do. But wouldn't that require a lot of active crawling to keep up with all the new links and citations being created?
