Challenge Overview
This challenge is to build a programmatic interface or "app" using Thomson
Reuters Web of Knowledge API (application programming interface) that enables
users to explore data relationships in an engaging or visual
way. Specifically, this challenge focuses on the Web of
Science content set, the world's leading citation database and the flagship
content set available on the Web of Knowledge platform. Technical requirements
and instructions for how to obtain credentials and access the API are
available in the Detailed Description.
This challenge has unique terms, please read the challenge-specific agreement
carefully. Submissions must include both a written proposal and a prototype
implementation using the Web of Knowledge API:
* Solvers grant the Seeker a non-exclusive license upon submission. By
submitting a proposal, Solvers grant to the Seeker a royalty-free, perpetual,
and non-exclusive license to use any information or intellectual property
included in the proposal and/or implementations.
* There is a guaranteed award of $10,000. The minimum award for this
challenge is $10,000 ("Minimum Award"), which is guaranteed to be awarded to at
least one Solver.
* Exclusive option at the Seeker's discretion. The Seeker may (at it's sole
discretion), award individual Solvers an additional $20,000 ("Additional
Award") to obtain ownership to that Solver's submission.
* Includes written proposal + working implementation using API. Submissions
must include both a written proposal and working implementation that prototypes
the proposed idea using examples that interact with the Web of Knowledge API
and integrate Web of Science content.
* API access will be provided. Access credentials to the API interface will
be provided to each Solver, after the Solver agrees to specific terms for data
usage in the challenge.
