Hi all,

Apologies for not making the meeting, my mac crashed... yes, that's right:
MY MAC .... CRASHED... there, happy? Anyway - by the time it had fscked
itself back to life the meeting was over.

Which is a shame because I had some progress to report! Nick Day has
refactored the publication crawling routines from CrystalEye into standalone
package (called "pub-crawler"), and added the capability to produce ORE ReMs
of journal articles including alternative format renditions, basic metadata
(including DOI) and supporting information. This functionality will
hopefully go live today and the data will be percolating through CrystalEye
over the weekend.

Pub-crawler also gives us the capability to produce ReMs including
supporting information as an overlay to lots of different journals. So far
we've experimented with Nature Chemistry, since they have excellent metadata
support (they have RDFa in their web pages, w00t!), and put a lot of
information into the quality of the SI. This could be a really good stepping
stone to persuading the publishers to support ORE themselves.

Best regards,
jim
