  1. Enhancing metadata – the Reis et al. (2008) exemplar http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000228.x001

  2. Factual metadata in the Study Summary

  3. Rhetorical metadata in the Study Summary • The problem with this summary is that • it is hand-crafted by a single individual • it is not backed by any recognised metadata standard • it is only human-readable, lacking an ontology-based machine-readable RDF representation

  4. MIIDI http://www.miidi.org/ • MIIDIis a Minimal Information standard for an Infectious Disease Investigation • An international MIIDI workshop in September 2009 led to an initial draft • In January 2011, Tanya Gray started work with me to develop MIIDI properly • She has now develop MIIDI into a validated XML data model, and has created a MIIDI Form that permits easy metadata entry conforming to the MIIDI standard • http://www.miidi.org:8080/input-form/ • To permit encoding of MIIDI metadata terms in RDF, we have mapped them to appropriate ontologies, including IDO, the Infectious Disease Ontology • The MIIDI standard can be used to create rich metadata both for journal articles and also for data sets, such as those held in DataBank or Dryad repositories • The methodology is generic, and, by substituting other (non-infectious disease) domain-specific metadata, we hope to see it adopted for use in other areas

  5. The MIIDI XML data model

  6. The MIIDI input form for Research Investigation information

  7. MIIDI Study details

  8. The MIIDI input form for Journal Article information

  9. Viewing citation networks at http://opencitations.net

  10. Using the citation data in the Open Citations Corpus http://opencitations.net

  11. The vision: Open Research Reports • The pre-existing ideas • of a structured digital abstract to encapsulate the basic facts in an infectious disease article, • of the MIIDI metadata standard to guide its encoding • led to the first articulation of the vision for Open Research Reports • in January 2011, following the ‘Beyond the PDF’ meeting in San Diego, while discussing the Lancet editorial over dinner with Leslie Chan, Cameron Neylon and Peter Murray Rust 1 To get experts to create MIIDI Open Research Reports for papers they read • employing a tool they find easy to use, and personally useful 2 To publish these reports in a subscription-free open access journal • bringing the authors academic credit for a citable mini-publication 3 To tackle first the most cited papers for major infectious diseases
