Publication: The FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship

On March 12, 2016, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: The FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship

There is an urgent need to improve the infrastructure supporting the reuse of scholarly data. A diverse set of stakeholders—representing academia, industry, funding agencies, and scholarly publishers—have come together to design and jointly endorse a concise and measureable set of principles that we refer to as the FAIR Data Principles….

Publication: Nanopublications for exposing experimental data in the life-sciences: a Huntingtion’s Disease case study

On December 10, 2013, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Nanopublications for exposing experimental data in the life-sciences: a Huntingtion’s Disease case study

Data from high throughput experiments often produce far more results than can ever appear in the main text or tables of a single research article. In these cases, the majority of new associations is often archived either as supplemental information in an arbitrary format or in publisher-independent databases that can…

Publication: Generic Information Can Retrieve Known Biological Associations: Implications for Biomedical Knowledge Discovery

On November 19, 2013, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Generic Information Can Retrieve Known Biological Associations: Implications for Biomedical Knowledge Discovery

Weighted semantic networks built from text-mined literature can be used to retrieve known protein-protein or gene-disease associations, and have been shown to anticipate associations years before they are explicitly stated in the literature. Our text-mining system recognizes over 640,000 biomedical concepts: some are specific (i.e., names of genes or proteins)…

Modern science is a main driver of technological innovation. The efficiency of the scientific system is of key importance to ensure the competitiveness of a nation or region. However, the scientific system that we use today was devised centuries ago and is inadequate for our current ICT-based society: the peer…

Publication: Microattribution and nanopublication as means to incentivize the placement of human genome variation data into the public domain

On July 23, 2012, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Microattribution and nanopublication as means to incentivize the placement of human genome variation data into the public domain

The advances in bioinformatics required to annotate human genomic variants and to place them in public data repositories have not kept pace with their discovery. Moreover, a law of diminishing returns has begun to operate both in terms of data publication and submission. Although the continued deposition of such data…

Publication: The Value of Data

On March 29, 2011, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: The Value of Data

Data citation and the derivation of semantic constructs directly from datasets have now both found their place in scientific communication. The social challenge facing us is to maintain the value of traditional narrative publications and their relationship to the datasets they report upon while at the same time developing appropriate…
