it looks like semantic mediawiki? - Mike Chelen
ah thanks, interesting to see which extensions they are using - Mike Chelen
Noteworthy: so far, 18 summaries of articles in PLoS Biol., 12 in PLoS Med. (None in PLoS ONE). - Jim Till
Perhaps noteworthy: the vast majority of edits in the last thirty days are by two people. It's hard to build critical mass... http://acawiki.org/index... - Andrew Su
the site looks pretty new, sometimes starting fresh produces the best results, although it can be useful to find some existing data to import initially - Mike Chelen
The site launched this week. The PLoS articles were seeded using the Editor Summaries that PLoS Bio and PLoS Med routinely publish - Peter Binfield
Peter: wondering if the data was converted from another format, or does PLoS supply RDF directly? is there any description of the process used? - Mike Chelen
We didnt work with them on this (other than to have some early meetings). I suspect they just copied and pasted... However, it can be extracted from our XML file of course. - Peter Binfield
Yes, it's copy and paste at present. A better workflow would be a good enhancement to Semantic MediaWiki if anybody's looking for a project! - Jodi Schneider
here is a guide to import data (TSV, tab separated values) to Semantic MediaWiki with a script: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki... and some extensions for XML import: http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki... - Mike Chelen
