"The Open Text Mining Interface (OTMI) is an initiative from Nature Publishing Group (NPG). It aims to enable scholarly publishers, among others, to disclose their full text for indexing and text-mining purposes but without giving it away in a form that is readily human-readable. It provides for a range of structured disclosure options, from word vectors (lists of word occurrences with frequency counts) and the presentation of text 'snippets' out of narrative order, to the presentation of full text in 'raw' or 'reduced' form." "The OTMI repository (on http://www.nature.com/) currently hosts 2 years (2005, 2006) worth of content for 5 journals: * Nature (nature) * Nature Genetics (ng) * Nature Reviews Drug Discovery (nrd) * Nature Structural & Molecular Biology (nsmb) * The Pharmacogenomics Journal (tpj) "

"The journal platform team here at NPG just rolled out machine readable metadata for the papers we publish in Dublin Core, PRISM (good PRISM, not to be confused with evil PRISM) and Google metadata formats. No more scraping to automatically get the citation for a paper, it's all in the HEAD: <meta name="citation_journal_title" content="Nature" /> <meta name="citation_publisher" content="Nature Publishing Group" /> <meta name="citation_authors" content="Paul Schenk, Isamu Matsuyama, Francis Nimmo" /> <meta name="citation_title" content="True polar wander on Europa from global-scale small-circle depressions" /> <meta name="citation_volume" content="453" /> <meta name="citation_issue" content="7193" /> <meta name="citation_firstpage" content="368" /> <meta name="citation_doi" content="doi:10.1038/nature06911" /> " "we're aiming to put XMP metadata in our PDFs, which should make it much easier [..] to look at PDF files on your filesystem and work out what they represent."

"Thanks for your email regarding Google Scholar. In order to improve coverage and citation accuracy for your content in Google Scholar, we recommend that you provide us with article-level metadata for your publication(s). The easiest way to do so is by embedding "metatags" of your bibliographic information within your website's HTML pages. Once the tags are in place, our crawlers can re-crawl this data and add it to the Scholar index."

"Name ambiguity and attribution are persistent, critical problems imbedded in the scholarly research ecosystem. The ORCID Initiative represents a community effort to establish an open, independent registry that is adopted and embraced as the industry’s de facto standard. Our mission is to resolve the systemic name ambiguity, by means of assigning unique identifiers linkable to an individual's research output, to enhance the scientific discovery process and improve the efficiency of funding and collaboration."

"RT @gbilder: Yay!! Official site for new Author Identity initiative (ORCID) is up. http://bit.ly/7coRyX --> another name ID project, <sigh>"

"Handling attributes XML::Simple handles attributes in much the same way as it handles elements—by placing them in a hash. Consider the XML file in Listing D. If you were to parse this with XML::Simple, the output would look like that in Listing E. Notice that the content of each element is placed inside a special key called "content", which you can access using the standard notation discussed previously. "

code4lib:"I've put up a file containing all the records I loaded into my database. The records contain 2 tab delimited fields. The first field is the key to the record and corresponds to the user's keystrokes (e.g. '0' above). The second field contains the JSON response which is an ordered array of terms. I load that into the moral equivalent of Lucene and you see the results in that SRU search. The file can be found at http://orlabs.oclc.org/FAST... Let me know if you have any problems or questions."
