Open, Self Organising Repository for Scientific Information Exchange
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the paper-based world, CAAD-associations, such as SIGRADI, and scientific publishers aim at getting the right people together and for making sure their work gets distributed to their peers. Electronic networks, such as the Internet, are providing scientists with the means to pursue those activities on their own. In this paper we present the goals of an EU project called SciX (Scientific information eXchange). The goal of is this project is to analyze the business processes of scientific publishing, to invent new publication models and through a series of pilots to demonstrate how this should work. In the envisioned scenarios, professional associations such as SIGRADI play an important role.

The scientific publication process has been so far only marginally affected by the possibilities of the Internet. This may be attributed to a lack of sound business models and pilots to demonstrate the ultimate benefits of free scientific publication.

متن کاملSemantically rich metadata in crystallographic publishing
Semantically-rich metadata assists publisher workflow and greatly increases the added value to the reader of a scientific publication. Where once bibliographic metadata provided the sole opportunity to locate and retrieve scientific publications, the experimental data on which scientific results are based itself is rich in metadata characterizing the data and the results derived from it. In cry...
