Presentation Transcript

  1. PLoS ONE Application • Journal Publishing System (JPS) • First application built on Topaz application framework • Web 2.0 • Uses a template engine to display the content received from Topaz service. • Uses AJAX toolkit to handle complex user interactions like annotations, ratings, etc. • Social networking. • Turns a reader of scientific articles into a knowledge contributor, knowledge that can be used by other users.

  2. PLoS ONE – Current Features • Ingest and publication of articles • User registration, login (single sign-on) and profiles • Public annotations • Threaded discussions • Search • RSS feeds – all articles or by subject category • Email alerts • Browse by subject and date • Administration of users and annotations • Article ratings (soon)

  3. PLoS ONE – In Development • Virtual journals • Community portals • Annotations types (private, author, correction, etc.) • Advanced search • Articles like this “you might be interested in” (Amazon model) • based on user annotations/tags • based on user ratings • Folksonomy tagging (user tags) • Groups - forming communities • Expand corpus to external data • Ingest/publication of datasets • Annotations of datasets • More…

  4. Topaz – What is it? • Original intention is to create an end-to-end online publishing system built on an Open Source platform • Journal Management System (JMS) • Composition System • Journal Publishing System (JPS)

  5. Topaz – Overview

  6. Fedora - Open Access meets Institutional Repositories • Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture • Online repository for collecting and preserving the intellectual output of an institution. • Repository can store any type of digital object (PDF, XML, images, videos, etc.) • Scalable to millions of objects

  7. Mulgara – Open Access meets the Semantic Web • “Surface Web” vs. “Deep Web” • Provide computers means to extract useful information from data accessible on the internet • Computers can understand and integrate information from the web • “Semantic Labels” express relationships among objects and components • Describing information about web pages, such as content, author, created and modified date • Allows for analysis of metadata • Describe meaningful content for search engines

  8. Fedora + Mulgara • Complex Objects: creation of new forms of “information units” • Networks of Objects: Knowledge integration: capturing semantic and factual relationships among information entities • Re-use: objects or parts of objects in can appear in new contexts where they can be augmented or contextualized • Process-orientation: Integration with the processesof research, collaboration, and scholarly communication • Collaboration: Accommodate information that is created as a byproduct of using resources (

  10. Topaz – Future Goals/Needs • Incorporate a workflow engine • Journal Management System • Composition System • Create associations across multi-disciplinary papers within the PLoS corpus and external content • Federated Databases – integrate other Fedora repositories (science, education, etc.)
