DESCRIPTION
Talk on 'nano-publication' held at EUA conference in Giessen, GermanyTRANSCRIPT
The purpose of open access is to ensure that scientific knowledge can be used and built-upon by anyone
Open access is a means to a goal – not a goal in itself
What if we could freely get to all the essential knowledge contained in scientific articles, without those articles necessarily being open access?

Current knowledge transfer
Current knowledge transfer
Signal to noise ratio?
Current knowledge transfer – an analogy: needle transport
Shouldn’t we focus on the ‘needles’ and learn how to reason with the essence of available knowledge?
If we did, we could have:
– access to far more knowledge than now– access to knowledge in our own language
irrespective of the language it was first written in
problemEvery has its solution
problemEvery has itssolution
What is needed?What do we have to do? What do we still have to overcome?

The relations between the corners:
1. Object evokes Concept (in writer’s or speaker’s mind)2. Writer/speaker uses Token to refer to Object3. Token evokes Concept (in reader‘s or listener's mind)4. Reader/listener refers Token back to Object

De-PDF repository content(or at least add XML or HTML versions)
Convert literature to nano-publicationsit is cheap – current estimate ≈ ¢’s per kilo-character (≈ 1 typical research journal page)
Share nano-publications (in an open triple store)
Start with biomedical (life science) contentsimply because semantic concept methodologies are most advanced in that area
