Scientific Papers as HTML+RDFa
Petersen, Niklas
Hi,
while I assume everybody is aware of it, I nevertheless wanted to write a mail about it:
Sörens student Sarven Capadisli [1] works on different topics & technologies to facilitate digital publishing. Everything he develops is open source [2]. While not everything works perfectly, he is on the right path I would say. I created manually a "web-copy"
of one of my own papers [3] and you can find a long list here: [4].
In case you know of people who work on similar topics, have related ideas etc., it would be nice if you could share it.

Because I assumed someone would ask, I added the word "manually" to it :)
Once I realized that this is what you have to do, I looked for ways to automatize it and realized how hard it is. Nothing works by itself, but I think if you combine some things, you get for a subset of papers good enough results. I am close to it actually,
but my PhD Thesis is keeping me busy for now. Of course you will never reach 100%, but I don't think that is necessary. The "typos" will be hopefully fixed by the crowd. Or that is actually how I imagined it. And if you have >1k or more papers in RDF and HTML+RDFa,
you have enough to start a discussion (hopefully). Well ok, RDF is probably not enough. You have to build at least one nice app on the top which milks the benefits of the model below it.
HTML+RDFa is for me just a view and not too important. As I mentioned in the Workshop, I sense that it could get very interesting to explore ways to represent, classify and link on an as granular level as possible every piece of the Scientific Article. Paragraphs,
Sentences, Figures, Algorithms, Mathematical Formulas etc. Not for the sake of linking them, but to build some cool algorithms on the top.
But one step after another.
On the topic of "HTML Editing":
To me, that doesn't make sense. Nobody should ever edit HTML to create or edit a Scientific Article. I would prefer if there would exist something like "Google Docs on the top of static Scientific Articles". Such as, to collect as much "scientists crowd knowledge"
as possible and add it to the Research Graph. However, I am afraid if such a thing ever exist, scientists would start to promote their own papers, or do nasty things to their hated fellow researchers and then you have to spend a lot of resources on quality
control here.
Best regards,
Niklas

FYI: I read a very interesting discussion on what goes wrong in science including ideas and links on Hacker News:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16764321
Favorite quotes:
"Who says we need to convince them? How about we leave them behind? They are rentiers, gatekeeping society's access to publicly funded scientific knowledge. I can't think of a reason why society should allow this hostage situation
to continue."
"but you need to figure out a way to take over the universities then because scientists are also animals who need food and shelter etc. etc. and depend on grants, stipends, and salaries to buy those things.
I'm not saying this to be dismissive - I'm strongly in favor of faculties organizing to unseat administrators from their privileged positions. It's baffling to me that bright minds on campuses complain at length about the state of higher education but seem oddly averse to doing anything about it."
