Nanopublications

A nanopublication is the smallest unit of publishable information: an assertion about anything that can be uniquely identified and attributed to its author. Individual nanopublications can be cited by others and tracked for their impact on the community. Nanopublications are a…

Nanopublications as single meaningful assertions

The brainchaild of the Concept Web Alliance is the notion of ‘nanopublication’. Today, only a few years later, nanopublications are widely studied and accepted as a way to deal with massive data sets, interoperability of data, data citation and crowdsourcing. [...] The name…

The Need For Research Maps To Navigate Published Work And Inform Experiment Planning

Strategies for nanopublications: experts data entry

We can presently identify at least three strategies for building research maps. These strategies are not mutually exclusive. The first is a publically funded data entry effort. Specialists in various fields of research could be hired to write nano- publications for papers in…

Strategies for nanopublications: publication process

The third strategy for building research maps builds nanopublications into the existing publication process. Different approaches could be taken toward imple- menting this strategy. For example, Microsoft has developed a plugin that as- sists authors in using ontologies to…

The Value Of Data

Nanopublications and in silico discovery

We propose a new way to represent data, information and, in particular, assertions in the form of nanopublications. A nanopubli- cation is essentially the smallest unit of publication: a single assertion, associating two concepts by means of a predicate in machine- readable…
