RESERVE THE DATE – 8 FEBRUARY 2010
Interactive Publications and the Record
of Science
A One-Day ICSTI Workshop
Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, 4 place Jussieu, 75005 Paris, France.
Monday 8 February 2010
– 9.00am to 5.30pm (Check-in and
breakfast from 8.15am)
Why attend
The Web is by
nature an interactive environment, yet online journals are mostly static,
consistent with their traditional role as a never-changing scholarly record.
However, this traditional role is increasingly challenged as browser
technologies leap forward, dynamic visualization and presentation tools
proliferate, and primary data are linked to research articles.
In an important
and timely event arranged by ICSTI (the International Council for Scientific
and Technical Information), publishers, publishing service providers,
librarians, editors and authors will meet in Paris for a full one-day workshop
to survey the most exciting and challenging of the new developments and to
begin to identify the necessary infrastructure for including interactive
content within the record of science.
Session topics
are: (I) Interactive visualizations; (II) Adding value with enriched content and
semantic links; (III) The archival problem and infrastructure for solutions;
(IV) W(h)ither journals?
Speakers include
representatives from the Nature Publishing Group, National Library of Medicine,
Royal Society of Chemistry, International Union of Crystallography, OECD,
Concept Web Alliance, SciVee, British Library, CrossRef and Cell Press.
