RSC Project Prospect Introducing semantics into chemical science publishing RSC Publishing a la Web 2.0 User Generated Content 1841 Discussion Forums 1947 …and flame wars Social Networking Interactivity Aims of Project Prospect Preserve authors’ science Capture the science as XML Apply ontologies to find meaning Make it part of the publishing process Provide new views to readers Computer-readable chemistry Meaningful searches Why is it hard for chemistry? Searching Free text or proprietary Related articles No standards Animal ontology those that belong to the Emperor, embalmed ones, those that are trained, suckling pigs, mermaids, fabulous ones, stray dogs, those included in the present classification, those that tremble as if they were mad, innumerable ones, those drawn with a very fine camelhair brush, others, those that have just broken a flower vase, those that from a long way off look like flies. Allegedly from “Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge” The Analytical Language of John Wilkins, Jorge Luis Borges Classification problems 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene biosynthesis “This term is obsolete as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene is not synthesized by living organisms“ From the Gene Ontology The RSC Prospect model Enhance existing publications Attract authors Add value for subscribers Promote dissemination of chemical science Build straight into existing workflow Marked small molecule libraries… …lysyl oxidase in zebrafish notochord morphogenesis How?

My only criticism would be the need for a time warning! I spent 4 hours digging about which generated at least six new research ideas, printed half a ream of paper and I missed my bus home... …At least it was a new excuse my wife had not heard, so another first. Well done to you all but I don't think my wife is that keen on it. Steve Haswell, Hull What’s unique? Technology Semantic enrichment Compounds Ontology terms Enhanced RSS feeds Implementation across existing portfolio Incorporation into workflow Shows the possibilities for structured science For other publishers? Building up new open ontologies Publishers will compete on display and application, but can still share links …via CrossRef? Future for RSC Project Prospect Experimental data Linguistics Extensive linking Other subject areas E-books, databases and backfile Peer review Prospect services RSC Project Prospect Richard Kidd Manager, Informatics kiddr@rsc.org "My first forays show [Project Prospect is] brilliant. [It's] great to see the compounds and have machine readable SMILES and InChIs" "Your new system is very impressive, I am sure it will become very useful to a large community” •It is great and exciting!! Just from the very few minutes I looked into it I realized its great potential and immediately ran to show it to my students!" “This is a fantastic resource for the community, and a great use of the GO and SO. Nice work" ”I have … found it very intuitive/ straightforward to use.[I] believe that it will make the manuscript even more appealing to readers."
