The use of structured data to search/make use of the semantic web is, in
my opinion, a positive move to what can be considered as move Web 3.0
technology - Web 2.0 is nice but not particularly useful (in my opinion
of course :-) )

!!! You Must Visit The RSC Prospect Page !!!
SC Publishing is delighted to announce the release of more new features
for RSC Prospect. This award-winning technology, that enhances HTML
journal articles published in RSC journals, caused a stir amongst the
publishing world when it was launched in February last year - and now
RSC Publishing is pushing the innovation boundaries forward again with
another unique set of developments.
The new features added to the enhanced HTML articles include:
- Structure and sub-structure searching
- Links to patent information (via SureChem)
- New chemical ontology terms (via ChEBI, the Chemical Entities of
Biological Interest ontology)
- Links to compounds in PubChem
These new features, added to the existing biomedical ontology terms
(from Gene, Sequence and Cell Ontologies) linked to definitions and
related papers, hyperlinked compound information in the text and links
to the IUPAC Gold Book, are another step in the transformation of
scientific publishing - and RSC Publishing is still leading the way.

Fellow information persons :-) ,
I am sceptical about the importance of Web 2.0. However, while a healthy
scepticism is a good thing blind stubbornness is not. Maybe there is a
role for these new media in academic communication and maybe even
publication.
I would be grateful for any pointers to actual use of these media
(social networks, social book marking, Blogs, etc) to supplement or even
replace some aspects of academic communication in any academic
discipline. Examples from STM would be particularly interesting.
I will attempt to summarise responses back to the list.
