There is an urgent need to improve the infrastructure supporting reuse of scholarly data. A diverse set stakeholders-representing academia, industry, funding agencies, and publishers-have come together design jointly endorse a concise measureable principles that we refer as FAIR Data Principles. The intent these may act guideline for those wishing enhance reusability their data holdings. Distinct from peer initiatives focus on human scholar, Principles put specific emphasis enhancing ability...
What is here called controlled natural language (CNL) has traditionally been given many different names. Especially during the last four decades, a wide variety of such languages have designed. They are applied to improve communication among humans, translation, or provide and intuitive representations for formal notations. Despite apparent differences, it seems sensible put all these under same umbrella. To bring order languages, general classification scheme presented here. A comprehensive...
The FAIR principles have been widely cited, endorsed and adopted by a broad range of stakeholders since their publication in 2016. By intention, the 15 guiding do not dictate specific technological implementations, but provide guidance for improving Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability Reusability digital resources. This has likely contributed to adoption principles, because individual stakeholder communities can implement own solutions. However, it also resulted inconsistent...
Abstract Transparent evaluations of FAIRness are increasingly required by a wide range stakeholders, from scientists to publishers, funding agencies and policy makers. We propose scalable, automatable framework evaluate digital resources that encompasses measurable indicators, open source tools, participation guidelines, which come together accommodate domain relevant community-defined FAIR assessments. The components the are: (1) Maturity Indicators – community-authored specifications...
Memes are the cultural equivalent of genes that spread across human culture by means imitation. What makes a meme and what distinguishes it from other forms information, however, is still poorly understood. Our analysis memes in scientific literature reveals they governed surprisingly simple relationship between frequency occurrence degree to which propagate along citation graph. We propose formalization this pattern validate with data close 50 million publication records Web Science, PubMed...
Publication and archival of scientific results is still commonly considered the responsability classical publishing companies. Classical forms publishing, however, which center around printed narrative articles, no longer seem well-suited in digital age. In particular, there exist currently efficient, reliable, agreed-upon methods for datasets, have become increasingly important science. this article, we propose to design data as a web-based bottom-up process, without top-down control...
Numerous implementations of FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs) are actively emerging and being evaluated against FDO specifications. Here, we focus on the Nanopublication Framework as a possible implementation FDOs. Nanopublications unitary, standardised, self-contained RDF-based knowledge graphs consisting three subgraphs: an assertion graph that includes main content, provenance metadata graph, publication information graph. In thorough analysis specifications (represented by efforts Forum) based...
The current Web has no general mechanisms to make digital artifacts --- such as datasets, code, texts, and images verifiable permanent. For that are supposed be immutable, there is moreover commonly accepted method enforce this immutability. These shortcomings have a serious negative impact on the ability reproduce results of processes rely resources, which in turn heavily impacts areas science where reproducibility important. To solve problem, we propose trusty URIs containing cryptographic...
While the publication of Linked Data has become increasingly common, process tends to be a relatively complicated and heavy-weight one. is typically published by centralized entities in form larger dataset releases, which downside that there central bottleneck organization or individual responsible for releases. Moreover, certain kinds data entries, particular those with subjective original content, currently do not fit into any existing are therefore more difficult publish. To address these...
The use of semantic technologies is gaining significant traction in science communication with a wide array applications disciplines including the life sciences, computer science, and social sciences. Languages like RDF, OWL, other formalisms based on formal logic are applied to make scientific knowledge accessible not only human readers but also automated systems. These approaches have mostly focused structure publications themselves, used methods equipment, or datasets. core claims...
We present AceWiki, a prototype of new kind semantic wiki using the controlled natural language Attempto Controlled English (ACE) for representing its content. ACE is subset with restricted grammar and formal semantics. The use has two important advantages over existing wikis. First, we can improve usability achieve shallow learning curve. Second, more expressive than languages Our evaluation shows that people who are not familiar foundations Semantic Web able to deal AceWiki after very...
Various approaches and systems have been presented in the context of scholarly communication for what has called semantic publishing.Closer inspection, however, reveals that these are mostly not about publishing representations, as name seems to suggest.Rather, they take processes outcomes current narrative-based system granted only work with already published papers.This includes involving annotations, interlinking, integration, discovery, but semantics coming into play after publication...
The increasing and unprecedented publication rate in the biomedical field is a major bottleneck for knowledge discovery Life Sciences. manual curation of facts from published scientific papers slow inefficient, therefore new approaches are needed that can enable automatic, scalable reliable extraction assertions. While assertions datasets on Semantic Web gaining traction, it also creates challenges such as proper representation provenance versioning. Here, we address these issues describe...
The concept of the Physical Internet (PI) has been introduced as a vision for globally efficient and sustainable logistics. Examining activities PI since its foundation, enormous efforts can be recognised in political business spheres. Furthermore, topic received considerable attention from logistics supply chain management scientists. In this context, wide variety dimensions investigated. contrast to some existing qualitative literature reviews, study focuses on quantitative review...
