Abstract

 

Recent developments in Web technology can be used for semantic
enhancement of scholarly journal articles, by aiding publication of data
and metadata and providing 'lively' interactive access to content. Such
semantic enhancements are already being undertaken by leading STM
publishers, and automated text processing will help these enhancements
become affordable and routine. Publisher, editor, and author all have
primary roles in that process; an incremental approach is needed.
Publication of data and metadata to the Web make possible added-value
'ecosystem services'; semantic publishing will bring substantial
benefits to scholarly communication.
