The Goals:
The peer-reviewed, research article published by scientific
publishers and societies are the best medium for representing
and disseminating the refinement of knowledge of scientists today.
For any model organism database, the literature is one of the
main sources of data, and significant amounts of resource, time,
and effort are devoted to capturing this information. This project
involves the design of a literature curation tool to facilitate
the curation process by utilizing semi-automatic ways of data
capture and using web-browser based applications to allow many
curators to track their own work and share the methods, rules,
and decisions made during the annotation process with other curators.
The long-term goal is to develop a set of systematic procedures
and tools of transferring knowledge from the more confined context
of a research article to the more dynamic, broader context of
a model organism database.
