What will be done with the data?
Full-text and metadata harvested, inverted, indexed
Artificial-intelligence augmented classification of article (enriched metadata)
Articles will also be tagged and classified by users (Connotea, delicious)
Text-mining and data-mining for new technologies (e.g. NeuroCommons)
Citation-linking (forward to articles cited; backwards to articles citing)

OECD (Declaration on Access to Research Data from Public Funding)
The governments of 34 nations recognise: Optimum international exchange of data, information and
knowledge contributes decisively to the advancement of scientific research and innovation
Open access to, and unrestricted use of, data promotes scientific progress and facilitates the training of researchers
Open access will maximise the value derived from public investments in data collection efforts
Substantial benefits that science, the economy and society at large could be gained from the opportunities that expanded use of digital data resources
The risk that undue restrictions on access to and use of research data from public funding could diminish the quality and efficiency of scientific research and innovation

Stage 1: apply new technologies to existing processes (i.e. more of the same, faster and cheaper)
Stage 2: integrate new technologies into existing processes (i.e. improve existing systems)
Stage 3: infuse and diffuse new technologies to create new processes and systems
