BMC Bioinformatics, Vol. 8, No. 1. (2007) BACKGROUND:The web has seen an explosion of chemistry and biology related resources in the last 15 years: thousands of scientific journals, databases, wikis, blogs and resources are available with a wide variety of types of information. There is a huge need to aggregate and organise this information. However, the sheer number of resources makes it unrealistic to link them all in a centralised manner. Instead, search engines to find information in those resources flourish, and formal languages like Resource Description Framework and Web Ontology Language are increasingly used to allow linking of resources. A recent development is the use of userscripts to change the appearance of web pages, by on-the-fly modification of the web content. This pens possibilities to aggregate information and computational results from different web resources into the web page of one of those resources.RESULTS:Several userscripts are presented that enrich biology...

Yeah - I'd love to see a community building greasemonkey scripts for life-science sites - pubmed, citeulike, etc. Hell, maybe I'll start working on some...
- Chris Miller
nice, there may be so many scripts that it is easiest to work with as its own project
- Mike Chelen
Mike, that was sort of the set up in SVN too, which is why there still is userscript/trunk (though we never made tags of branches, which is why there is no matching userscript/branches or userscript/tags ...
