Abstract for talk [I:ISBM08PUB] The Future of Scientific Publishing at ISMB-2008 on 21 July 2008

TITLE:

Understanding Protein Function on a Genome-scale using Networks

The Future of Scientific Publishing: Mining Publications to Study the Structure
of Science

My talk will focus on a vision for Scientific Publishing: How we could
potentially mine all the information in publications, to glean new scientific
facts and to study the structure of science itself. I'll provide some
illustrations of the latter. I will also talk about some impediments to
realizing this vision and potential solutions.
