Overview
 Publishing collaborations: Making databases
more like journals
 NPG New Technology: Making journals more
like databases
 Tagging and social bookmarking: New methods
of annotation and navigation
Database publishing at NPG
 The AfCS-Nature Signaling Gateway
(http://www.signaling-gateway.org/)
 The CMC-Nature Cell Migration Gateway
(http://www.cellmigration.org/)
 Forthcoming collaborations with NCI and several
other groups
The AfCS-Nature Signaling Gateway
 A freely available online resource for anyone
interested in cellular signalling
 A collaboration with the research community
through the Alliance for Cellular Signaling
 An experiment in the next generation of online,
database-driven scientific publications
The Signaling Gateway
• Facts and figures on
major cell signaling
proteins (3,700+)
• Continually updated by
selected experts (~1000)
• Peer-review run by NPG

The Molecule Pages
 Comprehensive, structured data for 3,700+ proteins
involved in cellular signalling
 Some information automatically fed in from other online
databases and updated monthly
 Other information entered by selected expert authors and
updated annually
 Author-entered data peer-reviewed by NPG
 Fully citable using digital object identifiers (DOIs)

The Molecule

same features
as a traditional
journal, except
that the
information it
contains is
more highly
structured and
queryable.

Automated scientific markup and linking
Increasing structure in text markup (1)
The old way (no semantic markup):
“<p>...gp120 binding to CXCR4 or CCR5 activates PYK2 and
FAK…</p>”
Now (key entities and concepts marked up):
“<p>...<protein id="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:P03378">gp120</protein>
<action id="urn:lsid:geneontology.org:go:000548">binding</action> to
<protein id="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:P48061">CXCR4</protein> or
<protein id="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:P10147">CCR5</protein> <action
id="urn:lsid:geneontology.org:go:0008047">activates</action> <protein
id="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:O43150">PYK2</protein> and <protein
id="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:Q05397">FAK</protein>…</p>”
Increasing structure in text markup (2)
The new way (full RDF/XML):
<p>...
<rdf:Graph xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:go="urn:lsid:geneontology.org:go:"
xmlns:uniprot="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:">
<go:000548>
<uniprot:Protein rdf:resource="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:P03378"/>
<uniprot:Protein rdf:resource="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:P48061"/>
<go:0008047 rdf:resource="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:O43150"/>
<go:0008047 rdf:resource="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:Q05397"/>
</go:000548>
<go:000548>
<uniprot:Protein rdf:resource="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:P03378"/>
<uniprot:Protein rdf:resource="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:P10147"/>
<go:0008047 rdf:resource="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:O43150"/>
<go:0008047 rdf:resource="urn:lsid:uniprot.org:uniprot:Q05397"/>
</go:000548>
<rdf:label>gp120 binding to CXCR4 or CCR5 activates PYK2 and
FAK</rdf:label>
</rdf:Graph>
…</p>
With RDF
markup, the
article XML
itself literally
becomes a
relational
database
Why go to all this effort?
Discoverability and
recontextualisation
“Show me statements about the
hedgehog gene.”
“Find claims that disagree with this.”
Transparency and flexibility
“Plot this graph on a different scale,
with error bars added and with these
two extra data sets overlaid.”
Specificity and completeness
“Give me a full description of this
mathematical model that I can run on
my own computer.”
Reuse and interoperability
“Provide the raw data set used in this
analysis in a form that allows me to
merge it with my own data.”
Views from the database side
“Before the end of the next decade, pathway
databases will become scientific journals and journals
will become databases. Biologists will be greatly
empowered, and bioinformatics will continue its long
evolution.”
Lincoln Stein (Reactome)
“Is a biological database any different than a
biological journal? I am working toward reaching an
answer of, no, there is no difference.”
Phil Bourne (Protein Data Bank)
Overview
 Publishing collaborations: Making databases
more like journals
 NPG New Technology: Making journals more
like databases
 Tagging and social bookmarking: New methods
of annotation and navigation
A few uses for Connotea
 Keeping bookmarks and references in order
 Sharing links and ideas within a team (perhaps
geographically dispersed)
 Providing readers with a (dynamic) list of further
or related reading
 Encouraging readers to share relevant links with
the author and with each other
