Prepare ANN follow-up for eLife Innovation Sprint 2021

[lubianat]

Brainstorm ideas and a possible project for the integration of ANN to the eLife Sprint 2021.

Possible ideas:

Advance topic tagger for articles:

• Toolforge.org application to tag subjects with semantic tags
• Pulls abstracts from the Europe PMC API; immediately add semantic tags to wikidata

Why? Simpler than text tagging, might be a better introduction to the world of formal semantics. Also, already integrated to several tools, so it would be immediately useful

There will be an initial version before the sprint, so in the event we could discuss pragmatics like:

• Usability
• Design
• Recognition of contributions
• Gamification
• Integration with common scientific practices

Build simple semantic search engines based on Wikidata

Examples:

• "find articles about a taxon and all species below it"
• "find articles about all diseases of a certain type"
• "find articles with the author from region X"
• "find articles with female authors"

And combinations thereof.

• Build tool
• Brainstorm usability
• Prepare a little "marketing analysis" to see possible consumers
• Reflect on integration to larger projects (i.e. Europe PMC)

Build Wikidata editing tools for scholarly updates:

Tools for curating scholarly information beyond just topics:

• Curate particular information for a list of authors (i.e. all authors in a certain paper, slots for Google Scholar ID, gender, institutions etc)

Advance ANN as a hypothes.is add-on

• Set-up an special hypothes.is group for semantic tagging
• Code wrapper for Hypothes.is
• Code backend to process annotations and do something
