InCoB2016 FactPub: the open-access web platform for academic paper contentsShun Shiku
The scientific papers and their contents are in high demand. For example, National Institute of Health’s PubMed Central provides free access to biomedical literature and has one million unique visitors daily. 40% of its visitors are citizens rather than universities or companies. However, not all the academic paper contents are accessible due to a paywall that prevents free distribution, locking up scientific knowledge.
FactPub (http://factpub.org) aims to provide the public a method to access information beyond paper paywalls while respecting copyright law. FactPub is based on the concept of 'idea-expression dichotomy' which is that facts cannot be copyrighted, and that their distribution is not bound by copyright licenses. Factify processes paragraphs to meaningful sentence-level facts using Stanford Core NLP library. Factify is run on the client side as a browser extension (Firefox/Chrome) to parse academic PDF papers. After Factify extracts facts from a paper, it uploads ‘facts’ to factpub.org, generating the content page in Wiki text format. Large-scale adoption of this fact-publishing framework will empower accessibility to health and other scientific research.

Aligning Web Collaboration Tools with Research Data for ScholarsLaurens De Vocht
Resources for research are not always easy to explore, and
rarely come with strong support for identifying, linking and
selecting those that can be of interest to scholars. In this
work we introduce a model that uses state-of-the-art semantic technologies to interlink structured research data and data from Web collaboration tools, social media and Linked Open Data. We use this model to build a platform that connects scholars, using their proles as a starting point to explore novel and relevant content for their research. Scholars can easily adapt to evolving trends by synchronizing new social media accounts or collaboration tools and integrate then with new datasets. We evaluate our approach by a scenario of personalized exploration of research repositories where we analyze real world scholar profiles and compare them to a reference profile.
