Call for Linked Research

• (c. 1450) Printing press [2D]
• (c. 1989) Web [Hypermedia]

Strictly visual, linear, non-interactive, and anti-social.

Electronic documents imitating paper!

PDF/Word/E-Books are Paper User Interfaces.

.. data-silos. Do not play well with the Web!

Inadequate for Universal Access to research knowledge.

How can we query the atomic parts of research results?

Identify research gaps? Forecast new fields?

Which funding opportunities are applicable?

Fix the UX and maximize value from research output:

Use the Web stack for maximum openness, accessibility and flexibility.

• All interactions conform with open standards
• at least two different interoperable tool stacks
• free and open access with suitable licensing and attribution
• Information is both human and machine-readable
• interactions without prior out-of-band knowledge

• Alexander declares his hypothesis
• Beverly references and discusses Alexander’s hypothesis
• Carol annotates Beverly’s argument
• .. stores the note publicly at own personal storage
• Darmok and Eve write reviews for Beverly’s article
• .. Beverly is notified about the reviews

How about more challenges?

1. URI Ownership
2. Linked Data
3. Knowledge Acquisition
4. User Experience
5. Announce
6. Open Feedback
7. Motivate

Any resource of significance should be given a URI — Axiom 0a: Universality 2, Tim Berners-Lee

Adopt the #LinkedData design principles.

e.g., hypotheses, concepts, arguments, workflows, results, evaluations, provenance, citations.

Human + Machine:

• +1 Discoverability
• +1 Comparability
• +1 Reproducibility
• +1 Reusability

In the spirit of science!

• Offer different layers to view
• Design interactive UIs

+1 Research Communication and Education

e.g: dokieli/dokieli HTML+RDFa + CSS (screen, print LNCS,ACM) + JavaScript + SVG + (WebID+ACL)

The GDP of Canada claimed by the World Bank Linked Dataspace is on the rise despite the market crash in 2008.

For human and machine discovery.

+1 Creating Awareness

For positive and negative research results.

Let everyone participate:

• Digital citizens
• Open (academic) reviews/reviewers
• Machine-generated relations to other research objects

+1 Collective Knowledge

dokieli is a clientside editor for decentralised article publishing, annotations and social interactions tool.

• W3C Linked Data Platform and Solid.
• W3C Web Annotation + Social Web - data models
• W3C Linked Data Notifications

Use your WebID + Personal Online Datastore + ACL!

Largest open access publisher in computer science

CEUR-WS.org supports dokieli.

Use ceur-make to automagically create proceedings in HTML+RDFa

Conferences are finally are accepting native Web formats

HTML/RDF, Linked Research, dokieli are welcome!

We need a social change

.. eat our own dogfood

.. academic institutions need to acknowledge/credit
