Eurogene (2005) • Sharing OA educational resources in human genetics • Multilingual (10 languages), automatically annotated by domain specific ontology (… controlled vocabulary) • Machine translation of text • Academic levels • Multimedia • Learning packages • Available online since 2008 http://eurogene.open.ac.uk

22. The CORE Family • Basic CORE infrastructure developed, harvested 60 repositories, full text similarity • ServiceCORE … 271 OAR (all 142 UK) harvested, metadata + full text, semantic similarity, deduplication, mobile apps, 9M metadata, 500k full text, API, 100M LOD triples, SPARQL, plugin, repository analytics| • DiggiCORE … networks: citations of papers, citations of authors, semantic similarity of papers … infrastructure

23. CORE visits (October 2012) More than 6000 visits per day … but this is just the start!

24. OAR Challenges Standard Aggregation of OA resources Integration textual resources withOA research data Provide intelligent search for papers and research Support OA repositories Advanced Provide computer access to OA resources across repositories Enable mining and sharing of inferential knowledge from OA resources across repositories Support the development of new services that use the existing and inferential knowledge

25. OAR Challenges Novel case studies Develop selected services based oncitations networks, subject classification, author/co-author/citation networks. Develop novel methods for measuring impact of publications and authors Develop methods for measuring cross-fertilization between different domains based on the above. Develop methods for evaluating trends in scientific disciplines.

30. A. TURING "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungs Problem."This is a bizarre paper. It begins by defining a computing device absolutely unlike anything I have seen, then proceeds to show—I haven't quite followed the needlessly complicated formalism—that there are numbers that it can't compute. As I see it, there are two alternatives that apply to any machine that will ever be built: Either these numbers are too big to be represented in the machine, in which case the conclusion is obvious, or they are not; in that case, a machine that can't compute them is simply broken!
Any tabulating machine worth its rent can compute all the values in the range it represents, and any number computable by a function—that is, by applying the four operations a number of times—can be computed by any modern tabulating machine since these machines—unlike the one proposed here with its bizarre mechanism——have the four operations hardwired. It seems that the "improvement" proposed by Turing is not an improvement over current technology at all, and I strongly suspect the machine is too simple to be of any use.
If the article is accepted, Turing should remember that the language of this journal is English and change the title accordingly. back to Alan Turing
