What is an ‘enhanced publication’?

“…a publication that is enhanced with research data, extra materials, post

publication data, database records (e.g. the Protein Data Bank), and that has an

object-based structure with explicit links between the objects. In this definition an

object can be (part of) an article, a data set, an image, a movie, a comment, a

module or a link to information in a database.”

(Woutersen-Windhouwer & Brandsma, 2009: 20)

* Data* Structure (linking)

* Objects (components)

Enhanced Publications: clustering components

Central components

•Accessibility– Open access

•Durability– Repositories

– Persistent identifiers for objects of publications

• Interoperability– Interlinking of objects

– Dynamic references

•Discourse– Reader comments, author updates & responses

•Replicability– Availability of data for inspection & secondary analysis

Secondary Components

•supplementary research materials– instrumentation, additional analyses

•contextual materials– setting, object of study, background, researcher info

•Visualizations– use of color, dynamic figures

•Multimedia– podcasts, videos

Enhanced Publications: Gone with the Wind?

• Authors

• Publishers

• Libraries/Archives

Page 38: KCL CeRch presentation, enhanced scholarly publications, 27march2012

Nanopublications: www.nanopub.org; Barend Mons, Paul Groth, and many others

- Machine readable, RDF

- Data publishing- Bioinformatics,

semantic web

The Principle of Added Value:The Assertion arises from a well-documented procedure or observation. For example, the Predicate establishing an association between the Subject and the Object could arise from a mathematical model, co-occurrence in text, a new experimental dataset, manually curatedrelations established by experts or from the exposure of an existing database.The Principle of Transparency:The Provenance and Condition refer to who, what, where, when of the Predicate, allowing the quality of the nanopublication to be assessed by others.The Principle of Ambiguity Avoidance:The arguments of the nanopublication (all concepts in the assertion, the condition and the provenance) can be unambiguously resolved to unique concepts.The Principle of Global Reference:Where authority, namespace, accession and version of any nanopublication argument has already been established on the Web, the Unique Resource Identifier (URI) of the concept should be used. Where no URI exists, a Universal and Unique Identifier (UUID) can be generated using the ConceptWiki.

Will publishers allow access to textshow does that relates to their own eBook efforts?What kind of enhancements do authors want and

do they have time to produce them?

Can SemanticWords be used for collective writing ofbooks? Will the tools be picked up by others?

Could we plugin other existing books to our universe, make it evolving?

Summary: experiences from practice

• Motivating contributors to contribute to EP’s when they have already finished a text is not easy. Reasons for reluctance:

• few rewards in current academic system

• ‘old’ news – move to new projects

• have to learn new skills to do it well, skills that might be out-of-date the next time they come to do such a thing

• What's the added value of pictures and other extra material?

• IP & copyright on images and texts

• Dealing with publishers who have different business model/ different expectations

• Added value of an enhancement versus added value of good publishers
