How could interoperability across documents be enabled? • How could concept-centric social networks emerge? • Are blogs and wikis new means for scholarly communication? • What lessons can be learned from humanities and social science publishers (i.e. going beyond scientific publishing towards scholarly publishing)? • How could we move beyond the PDF? How can we embed and link semantics in EPUB and other e-book formats? • How are digital libraries related to semantic e-science? What is the relationship between a paper and its digital library? • How could we realize a paper with an API? How could we have a paper as a database, as a knowledge base? • How is the paper an interface, gateway, to the web of data? How could such and interface be delivered in a contextual manner? • How could RDF(a) and ontologies be used to represent the knowledge encoded in scientific documents and in general-interest media publications? • What ontologies do we need for representing structural elements in a document? • How can we capture the semantics of rhetorical structures in scholarly communication, and of hypotheses and scientific evidence? -- Christoph Lange, Jacobs Univ.
