There is no suggestion in the current specification that nanopublications may be applied directly to ordinary scientific articles, nor that they are de- signed to present primary scientific evidence – although more expansive claims have been made elsewhere in the literature…
Semantic integration contributes to the information value chain in science
Such a common metadata representation of scientific claims, argument, evidence and annotation in biomedi- cine should serve as an integrating point for the original publication, subsequent annotations, and all other com- putational methods, supporting a single framework for…
Scientific publications as defeasible arguments
