"OSCAR3 (Open Source Chemistry Analysis Routines) is software for the semantic annotation of chemistry papers. The modules OPSIN (a name to structure converter) and ChemTok (a tokeniser for chemical text) are also available as standalone libraries." - Mike Chelen via Bookmarklet

"17th Annual International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology & 8th European Conference on Computational Biology The talk specific feeds will be created each day shortly before the start of the first presentation. Find talk specific blogs by searching here for the authors, the title of the talk or the talk identifier as given in the program (like HL03 for the 3rd Highlight paper) The feeds can also be accessed on the conference pages in the according sections: SIGs, Keynotes, Proceedings Track, Technology Track and Highlights and the last few blogs are shown on our web-portal page." - Mike Chelen via Bookmarklet

There are quite a lot of cell phone sensor network projects out there - I've been following the Urban Sensing project at UCLA for a while... http://urban.cens.ucla.edu/ - Hilary

Wonder if there are discussions between the different groups, either for direct collaboration, or to plan for interoperability of software and data. - Mike Chelen

I think Nokia is trying to address some of the interoperability questions through their SensorPlanet project: http://www.sensorplanet.org/ - Hilary

"InterMine is a powerful open source data warehouse system. Using InterMine, you can create databases of biological data accessed by sophisticated web query tools. Parsers are provided for integrating data from several common biological formats and there is a framework for adding your own data. InterMine includes an attractive, user-friendly web interface that works 'out of the box' and can be easily customised for your specific needs." - Mike Chelen via Bookmarklet

"The dANN project is a library to help facilitate artificial neural networks within other applications. It is currently written in Java, C++, and C#. However only the java version is currently in active development." - Mike Chelen via Bookmarklet

"Should there be a universal standard, like RSS, that enables people to rate (and otherwise describe) websites — and to syndicate that data? If there were such a standard and such syndicated data, search engines could seed their results in creative ways using the data." - Daniel Mietchen

"BASE is a comprehensive free web-based database solution for the massive amounts of data generated by microarray analysis." - Mike Chelen via Bookmarklet

We got a LIMS that can do genomics and proteomics in the same environment. It's from Genologics, a company in BC, Canada. - Paulo Nuin

"New release of open source web based Bika, LIMS 2 Inkosi. Integrated document and LIMS portal management." - Mike Chelen via Bookmarklet

"Cellular automaton consist of an infinite number of cells, which have a finite number of states. These states change depending on the state of their neighbours. Each cell has the same rule for updating. In this program, the cells can have two states: 0 or 1. This state depends on the state of their neighbours and the place where the cell is." - Mike Chelen via Bookmarklet

Hi Abhishek, the sink is based in Conway's "Game of Life". There is more information in wikipedia. The difference is that in SINK there are patches of good quality environment, and is possible to change the number of this patches. I'm inspired in the classic paper of Van Horne "Density as a misleading indicator of habitat quality. J. Wildlife. Management". I program the first version of... more... - Jorge G. Casanovas

"This package provides a simple GUI, based on the GNU interface to Tcl/Tk, that is suitable for teaching introductory statistics." - Mike Chelen via Bookmarklet

to run, start R and then enter: library(Rcmdr) - Mike Chelen

interface is pretty accessible for new users, even more so than RKWard - Mike Chelen

"This study attempts to trace the evolution of scholarly communication from the days of publication of Journal-des-Scavans to the era of web 2.0, explaining the Open Access (OA) movement in brief. The views of Harnad on OA are highlighted. The emergence of Open Access 2.0 is put in context. This study also explains science 2.0 as the emerging practice in scientific knowledge sharing and scholarly communication. The positives and drawbacks of science 2.0 are discussed. Some of the science 2.0 concepts like OpenWetware, PLoS and other science 2.0 systems used in scientific research for communication as put forth by Hooker and Surridge are cited to indicate that science 2.0 is the future for scholarly communication." - Daniel Mietchen via Bookmarklet

Interesting to see where this discussion goes - it seems that we'd need something like Education 2.0 to explain what Science 2.0 is all about. I have thus started http://en.citizendium.org/wiki... (registration required, may take a day) and put up a freely editable semi-mirror at http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki... for those who prefer to edit right away. - Daniel Mietchen
