[CODE4LIB] WordPress + research papers - wishlist
The WordPress platform is a good place to start for building on research papers. I'm forwarding your WordPress module wishlist to Code4Lib: I would be interested in these two Wordpress modules: a) an author module that integrates with the ORCID researcher identifier system. Manuscript authors could provide their ORCID credentials when starting a document, and there would be no need to provide author information at the time of manuscript submission. This module would also allow all coauthors to approve a manuscript before submission. The system should also define the role of the author in the manuscript (provided data, did experiment X, etc.). b) a citation module that extends the current Wordpress functionality of providing links. The module should provide rich formating of citations (using the citation style language CSL), should verify citations, should add meaning to citations (using the Citation Ontology CiTO), and should allow citations of specific parts of a paper or dataset. Code4Lib folks, for context see https://sites.google.com/site/beyondthepdf/ Thought of y'all in part because the Code4Lib Journal uses some WordPress customizations: http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/Code4Lib_Journal_WordPress_Customizations -Jodi -- Forwarded message -- From: Martin Fenner fenner.mar...@mh-hannover.de Date: Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 12:37 PM Subject: Re: Workshop Deliverables? To: Beyond the PDF beyond-the-...@googlegroups.com I'm very much enjoying this discussion, and it is still more than two months to go before we actually meet in person. I also like the focus of delivering something meaningful at the end of the workshop rather than just having a very interesting conversation about topics beyond the PDF. Earlier on we have talked about some of the practical aspects to make this work, and that included incentives for the individual researcher and tools that make the creation of a scholarly paper easier and not more difficult. I would like to add another requirement, and that is that all scholarly tools should built on standard tools we already use in other domains, and not build something from scratch. The reason for that is that the scholarly community is relatively small, and the larger community is already working on not on all, but many of the same issues. And it has been stated from the very beginning that we want to build open source tools. I would propose that we think about the technology platform that is the best starting point for a tool we can build at or shortly following the workshop. There are many potential candidates (Google Wave was also on that list for a while). Lemon8-XML from the Public Knowledge Project (http://pkp.sfu.ca/lemon8) would be one good candidate. Right now it is a tool to convert documents in Microsoft Word or Open Office formats into the NLM-DTD to publish them with the Open Journal Systems journal submission system. But in the last few weeks I realized that for me the ideal platform for an authoring tool is actually Wordpress. JISC recently funded the Knowledge Blogs project by Phil Lord (http://researchdata.jiscinvolve.org/wp/ 2010/08/02/new-jiscmrd-projects-citing-linking-and-integrating- research-data/) that will build a lightweight publication system. He would be able to say much more about the potential and obstacles of that platform. The main reason for me to pick Wordpress is that it already solved many of the problems we would have to work on when building a new authoring tool, as it is a mature and well-documented, web-based, multiuser publishing platform. Most importantly, I think it is a platform that authors will like and actually use. So I propose that as one workshop deliverable we built several extensions (widgets) to the Wordpress system. The modular system of the Wordpress platform makes it ease to start several sub-projects that work on different aspects of the scholarly paper. And it is certainly possible to deliver something using that platform until the end of 2011. Code that went into building these Wordpress modules could be reused for other porjects. I would be interested in these two Wordpress modules: a) an author module that integrates with the ORCID researcher identifier system. Manuscript authors could provide their ORCID credentials when starting a document, and there would be no need to provide author information at the time of manuscript submission. This module would also allow all coauthors to approve a manuscript before submission. The system should also define the role of the author in the manuscript (provided data, did experiment X, etc.). b) a citation module that extends the current Wordpress functionality of providing links.
