Part of the scientific program of the ICCS 2022. Now that most speakers confirmed their talk by registering for the conference, it was time to upload the preliminary scientific program of the International Conference on Chemical Structures (#2022ICCS ).
Last month I reported on the start of the NWO Open Science grant and it is time for an update. First, our grant now has a grant number, 203.001.121. For a project that is about identifiers, having a project identifier is a big deal.
Last year, Denise, Tina, Marvin, and I received an NWO Open Science grant (203.001.121) to improve the long running BridgeDb project, originally developed by Martijn van Iersel (see doi:10.1186/1471-2105-11-5). Helena joined our group as research software engineer and will work part-time on this grant.
Serendipity. I did not plan this hack at the BioHackathon Europe 2021 but it happened anyway. Based on earlier work in the Journal of Cheminformatics, extending on the work by Krewinkel et al. I looked into the idea of using the Lua filter for BioHackrXiv, a preprint server for BioHackathons. Actually, I started by looking at the Citation Styling Language file used by the BioHackrXiv tools. But that was just wrong. Long story short: it worked!
Publishing habits changes very slowly, too slowly. The whole industry is incredibly inert, which can lead to severe frustration as it did for me. But sometimes small changes can do so much.
The BridgeDb project (doi:10.1186/1471-2105-11-5) (and ELIXIR recommended interoperability resource) has several aims, all around identifier mapping: provide a Java API for identifier mapping provide ID mappings (two flavors: with and without semantic meaning) provide services (R package, OpenAPI webservice) track the history of identifiers The last one is more recent and two aspects are under development here: secondary identifiers and dead
Last week the third paper got published in the Citation Typing Ontology Collection and this weekend I finished adding the citation annotations to Wikidata. While the number of papers in the Journal of Cheminformatics is only slowly growing, the number of journals receiving annotated citations is growing faster. And there are 70 now: The Scholia patch needed for this updated table is not online yet.
During the time of the editorial about the Journal of Cheminformatics Citation Typing Ontology (CiTO) Pilot I already worked out a model to add CiTO annotation in Wikidata. It looks like this for the first research article with annotation: At the time I also write some SPARQL queries against Wikidata to summaries the current use.
WP4846 that I started on March 16. It will see a massive overhaul in the next weeks. Voices are getting stronger over how important Open Science is. Insiders have known the advantages for decades. We also know the issues in the transition, but the transition has been steady.
This is a series of two posts repeating some content I wrote up back in the Bioclipse days (see also this Scholia page). They both deal with something we were facing: restructuring of version control repositories, while actually keeping the history. For example, you may want to copy or move code from one repository to another.
