AMI and Friends (Murray Jensen, PMR) have made good progress with the first part of their 3-part Quest. PDF2SVG is now at continual-beta. The framework is in place, moderately exercised and “tested”. (It’s actually quite difficult to build tests for … Continue reading →

I have been trying to find “Open Access” articles published in Royal Society of Chemistry journals. It’s very difficult – Google doesn’t help – and I’ve scanned about 200 abstracts without finding one. Then I happened on http://blogs.rsc.org/cc/2012/10/08/chemcomm-celebrates-its-first-gold-for-gold-communication/ (I’ll reproduce … Continue reading →

I’ve been to central Melbourne (Central Business District, CBD) for the last two days. To hack. But the first visit was to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria_Market to find AMI. (AMI2 is the scientifically intelligent program amanuensis we are building and AMI will give … Continue reading →

AMI2 is our new intelligent amanuensis for reading and understanding the Scientific Technical Medical literature. AMI is OURS – not mine – she is completely Open and you can take part. YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW COMPUTING TO HELP. AMI’s … Continue reading →

In a previous post I outlined the architecture for building a (weakly) intelligent scientific amanuensis, AMI2. (/pmr/2012/10/20/opencontentmining-the-ami2-project-for-understanding-the-scientific-literature-and-why-i-love-pdf/ ) We have made a lot of progress since then, mainly in formalizing, refactoring, documenting, clearing our thoughts. (Refactoring is a computing chore, … Continue reading →

This is the start of “Open Access Week” www.openaccessweek.org/ and I am urged (including by myself) to write something for it. The OKF is contributing something and I hope that in writing this blog there is something suitable. I’m going … Continue reading →

Earlier this week I blogged about our new Open project #AMI2 /pmr/2012/10/15/opencontentmining-starting-a-community-project-and-introducing-ami2/ . This is an Open community project to create a complete infrastructure for machine understandability of the scientific literature. That’s a bold statement, especially for something with no … Continue reading →

This is the first post in (hopefully) a regular series on the development of Open Content Mining in scholarly articles (mainly STM = Science Technical Medical). It’s also a call for anyone interested to join up as a community. This … Continue reading →

I haven’t blogged for some time because I have been busy elsewhere – going to #okfest, #odlc (Open Data La conference in Paris) and preparing for a significant stay (~ 3months) with CSIRO in Clayton (Melbourne, AU). I’m in AU … Continue reading →

Update: OKFest is being streamed today: http://okfestival.org/streams/aalto-pro-lecture-room/ (6 viewers so far) Jenny Molloy is introducing. Now Puneet Kishor from CC-science See http://science.okfn.org/blog for details. Yesterday we hacked PyBossa for crowdsourcing of spintronics. I will update this blog over the next … Continue reading →
