Hypothesis

Consults

Assemble Team

Get Funded

Create Virtual Organi-zation

Augment Data

Systems

Conduct Experi-ments

Publish results

Archive data

Six Trends

1. Rise of the small

2. Increasing volume of science

PubMed new publications per year

The Problems Got Hard

3. Increasing complexity of scientific problems

Data Got Big (IDR Slide)

4. Data reuse grows

Lots of Competitors

2011 Shanghai ranking of world universities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_Ranking_of_World_Universities

5. Competition rises

6. Internet disintermediation of science continues

How can we know what is going on,

build teams, solve data-driven

problems?

Research Discovery

ResearchDiscovery

… And the connections between them

VIVO: Data, Tools and Community

Simple tools for presentation, traversal,

search

processOrg<-function(uri){ x<-xmlParse(uri) u<-NULL name<-xmlValue(getNodeSet(x,"//rdfs:label")[[1]]) subs<-getNodeSet(x,"//j.1:hasSubOrganization") if(length(subs)==0) list(name=name,subs=NULL) else { for(i in 1:length(subs)){ sub.uri<-getURI(xmlAttrs(subs[[i]])["resource"]) u<-c(u,processOrg(sub.uri)) } list(name=name,subs=u) }}

VIVO produces both HTML and RDF

Software reads VIVO RDF and displays

Ontology Process

Community

ScienceMap. Examine collections of publications for individuals, work groups, institutions
