"Our modules create RDFa annotations and – optionally – a SPARQL endpoint for any Drupal site out of the box. Likewise, we add the means to map the site data to existing ontologies on the Web with a search interface to find commonly used ontology terms."

"We also allow a Drupal site administrator to include existing RDF data from remote SPARQL endpoints on the Web in the site."

The description looks interesting "The Science Collaboration Framework (SCF) is a software toolkit to establish web-based virtual team organizations for researchers in biomedicine ". Glad to know it is not a 'yet another scientific-social-network + web 2.0 + etc ...!'. Anyone tried this ?

The idea is supporting science collaboration through linked data (using the Drupal RDF-CCK module).

"For example, from scientific papers in this domain we may extract text strings such as “nf-KB”, “nuclear factor kappa B”, or “nf-kappa-B”. By adequate thesauri, or user tagging using CommonTag, all of these could actually be matched to the query string “NFKB1”, which the HUGO official gene names and potentially other synonyms all resolve to a common URI represented in the Neurocommons...

"biomedical research consists of myriad sub-specialities ranging across from basic research to clinical practice, as well as incorporating divisions by biological process, organ, species, cell type, molecule, protein family, technological approach, clinical orientation, disorder, and so forth. Each of these areas can and often does have its own slightly different semantic universe and...

"Phase2 Technology has debuted Tattler (app) a tool for finding, monitoring and tracking online information from major news outlets to blogs, twitter feeds and other social media. Using semantic web technologies, Tattler mines the Internet for mentions of the issues and topics most relevant to an organization."

from Bookmarklet
"Built and distributed on Drupal, Tattler's unique workflow and a toolset of intelligent content processors allow users to easily filter, organize, share, and take action on content gathered from the web."
- François Dongier
"It finds information on what I tell it to. Wherever it comes from. The idea behind Tattler is that I don't have to know what sites (sources) I have to follow nor create and organize feeds from those sites. Tattler lets me enter the things (topics) that I want to learn about and it goes out and gets me what is being said on the web about those topics. Typically this includes news sites, blogs, social networks, multimedia sites, etc."

"A public consultation and workshop has just been launched. The purpose is to get impulses and a broad understanding of main technology and user trends and barriers. The results of this consultation will be considered in the preparation of related future research agenda, and will be taken into account for the next Work Programme, covering the 2011-2012 period of the Framework Programme 7, the European Commission's largest instrument for research and development funding."

"Quite a bit ahead of schedule, Wolfram Alpha's iPhone app appeared in the iTunes App Store today. The app, which costs $49.99, gives users full access to Wolfram Alpha's capabilities and greatly improves on the speed and ergonomics of Wolfram Alpha's mobile site. The company is targeting this app at students and professionals and marketing it as a replacement for stand-alone graphing calculators, which is clearly reflected in the price."
