 **Information overload in science**\\
-Modern science produces enormous amounts of data. Only in Life Sciences 2500-3000 new research articles are published per day (see [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/limits|PubMed]] articles published in the last year). These articles are in the plain-text pdf format, and hence can only be interpreted by humans, which makes knowledge dissemination rather slow.

 **Non-transparency of academic research**\\
-An average project in academia takes 2-5 years before publication of results. During this period research process is non-transparent to people outside of the research group. Because of this, several groups may be doing exactly the same work without knowing about duplication of their efforts. Also, because negative results are almost never published – scientists in different groups would often repeat same useless experiments, despite these have already been tried by others.

 **Showcasing "Open Science + Linked Data" to science policy makers**\\
-Science funding agencies are increasingly recognizing the problems of non-transparency and inefficiency of academic research. Open Access to research articles (a subset of the global Open Science vision) is already being [[http://www.openaire.eu/en/open-access/mandates-a-policies|demanded by many science funding agencies]]. Unfortunately there are almost no examples of how "real-time" Open Science combined with Semantic technologies could enhance the efficiency of scientific innovation.\\

 **Future developments**\\
-The vision behind this "Open Science + Linked Data" demo is supported by a number of academic researchers, including a couple of Professors in Life Sciences. We hope to evolve this vision towards a sustainable activity in the future (e.g. development of intelligent information management tools for [academic] researchers).

 ===== Data =====
   * Currently - scraping of local data + linking it to [[http://www.uniprot.org/|UniProt]]
-  * Experimental data used for the demo comes from research projects in the field of Structural Biology performed at Uni Basel and ETH Zurich. If successful the code of this demo will be deployed to provide continuous web "publishing" + visualization of research data obtained in a specific research project in Structural/Systems Biology at ETH Zurich.
