Also, it's interesting to see scientific workflows can be published
via Wiki (e.g., myExperiment).
But as far as I know, myExperiment does not allow editing the actual
workflows online, you can only upload and visualize workflow files
that have been created on the client-side. I guess that still poses a
significant hindrance to realizing the 'anyone can edit' philosophy of
classic wikis. In this regard, fully server-sided systems such as the
well known Yahoo Pipes or the quickly maturing Semantic Web Pipes [1]
might be the way to go.
Regarding the article, it will probably seem a bit puzzling to many
people on this mailing list that Lincoln Stein writes
"To my knowledge, there is currently only one project that aims to
bring the pure semantic web to biomedical research. That project is
the Simple Semantic Web Architecture and Protocol (SSWAP30)"
It's nice that Nature allows the community to add descriptions about
our various projects on the wiki page associated with the article [2];
unfortunately, though, most readers of the original article will
probably not have a look at that wiki.
Nature seems to allow one to write correspondence (1 page) to comment
about matters arising from research papers. See:
http://www.nature.com/ng/pdf/gta.pdf
This might be a way a get a Nature publication :-) .
