The Journal of Research Objects (JRO) is an experimental semantic publishing platform. We make it possible for researchers to publish Jupyter notebooks and define them as research objects (ROs). We make it easy for users to claim objects from repositories such as Figshare, Git, etc, draw and specify relations across claimed objects and the Jupyter notebook describing their experiment, software, dataset, etc. Users can also enrich the metadata of the resulting agregation. The publication is available as RDF, JSON and Jupyter Notebook; users can build their notebooks from Git repositories. We are also making it possible for researchers to define nanopublications over a simple UI and publish them as RDF or JSON as well as in human intelligible objects -these can later be related to other objects defining in this way an RO. All our publications are available over an instance of NEO4J as well as over a SPARQL endpoint.
