Designing a Semantic Web Path to e-Science 1
Abstract:
Abstract. This paper aims at designing a possible path of convergence between the Open Access and the Semantic Web communities. In section 2, it focuses on the problems that the current Web has to face to become a fully effective research means, with particular regard to the question of selection according to subjective quality criteria. Section 3 exposes the main principles and standards which lie behind the Open Access movement, and tries to demonstrate that the Open Access community is a fertile ground where to experiment Semantic Web technologies. Finally, section 4 sketches a number of practical strategies and suggests the combination of existing tools for e-Science, in order to create a real Semantic Web of scientific knowledge. 1
