Do It Yourself !

User Experience Problem

PDF/Word are best for desktop and print.

.. but they do not play well with the Web.

User Experience is inadequate for Universal Access to research knowledge.

Discovery and Reuse Problem

SELECT ?document ?hypothesis ?variable
FROM <http://example.org/paper.pdf>
WHERE { ?document
          schema:about dbr:Semantic_similarity ;
          :hypothesis ?hypothesis .
        ?hypothesis :variable ?variable . }

Proposed Solution

Fix the UX and maximize value from research output:

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

URI Ownership

Publish your research at a Web space that you control.

Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One: URI Ownership

Linked Data

But... you already know what I'm going to tell you — The Matrix, Oracle

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

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

Knowledge Acquisition

Human + Machine:

+1 Discoverability
+1 Comparability
+1 Reproducibility
+1 Reusability
\o/ Web science

User Experience

In the spirit of science!

Create presentation layers
Design interactive UIs

+1 Research Communication and Education

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

Announce

For human and machine discovery.

+1 Creating Awareness

For both positive and negative research results.

Open Feedback

Let everyone participate:

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

+1 Collective Knowledge

Collaborate and Motivate

Take the power back and control yourself !

Lets WebScience++ around our needs : Voice yourself and collaborate: conferences, mailing list; public-lod, semantic-web, IRC; #swig, blog, #LinkedResearch

Request data, source code, research objects, reproducibility !

Do It Yourself !
