To prime for tomorrow's HCLS conference call, I'd like to briefly list the objectives, use cases and requirements for the scientific publishing task. Hope there will be a real debate on them.
Objectives:
1. To develop a general-purpose ontology for self-publishing single experiment in RDF format
2. Current focus: data sharing and discovery on the web by all researchersMain use cases:
1. Any researcher can publish experiment data as single unit of experiment in RDF.
2. New web publishing tools can be developed to support the ontology.
3. New search engines can be developed to aggregate all of the published experiment information.
4. Anyone can use the new search engines to find all experiments available on the web.
Requirements:
1. General terms to be used in all research areas (not just bio and med)
2. Proposed classes:
experiment
project
protocol
product
researcher
group
organization
