Scientific publishing on the 'semantic web'

Abstract

The established system of journals for communicating the results of scientific research is already being challenged by the existence of the web. But we are only in the early days of a new Internet revolution, one which will have a deeper and more disruptive impact on scientific, and other, web publishing, and have profound implications for the web itself. An emerging successor to the web, the Semantic Web, will likely profoundly change the very nature of how scientific knowledge is produced and shared, in ways that we can now barely imagine.
