Scott Wilson’s<\/a> recent presentation on “SOA and web 2.0 things”<\/a> is well worth it even for you grizzled remix veterans of the blogosphere, if only for the most succinct and helpful explanation of the e-Framework<\/a> I’ve yet to read (“A collaborative effort by JISC, DEST, SURF, NZ MoE and others to make sense of web services in education<\/em>“).<\/p>\n

But what really blew my mind was the link to the above service, Postgenomic<\/a>. If I understand it correctly, in essence it is a service which provides a registry for, and then search across, academic blogs dedicated to life sciences topics. It does so in order to give users a view on what topics are being talked about in those communities, what sites are being linked to, and what academic articles<\/em><\/strong> are being reviewed. And the only effort required to participate, as far as I can tell, is the use of a small ‘review’ microformat<\/a> (that’s right, isn’t it?) that helps the service identify which posts are ‘reviews’ of specific academic papers.<\/p>\n

What this means is that researchers, academics and students in a variety of life science areas<\/a> can follow which stories their community is finding important<\/a>, what tags members of their community are using most<\/a>, (this is a lot closer to what I was writing about last week<\/a>, though not search based), and get feeds<\/a> of papers reviewed in their community<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This isn’t the mythical eduglu<\/a>, and maybe this is something that a system like aggrssive<\/a> could facilitate for other communities or maybe I’m confused and this is duplicating something already there in more general systems like technorati (though I think not). But hot damn was this exciting for me to see. – SWL<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
