ABSTRACT:
Force11 (http://force11.org) is a community of scholars, librarians,
archivists, publishers and research funders that has arisen organically to
help facilitate the change toward improved knowledge creation and sharing.
Individually and collectively, we aim to bring about a change in modern
scholarly communications through the effective use of information
technology which will also broaden to include, for example, the publication
of software tools, research communication via social media channels, and
sharing data and workflows in innovative ways. We see Force11 as a starting
point for a community that we hope will grow and be augmented by individual
and collective efforts by the participants and others. In our talk, we’ll
discuss the background, goals, and plans we have for Force11. After this
overview, we invite all participants to share ideas for future developments
on which they would like FORCE11 to focus on.



SPEAKER BIOS:
Maryann Martone received her BA from Wellesley College in biological
psychology and her Ph.D. in neuroscience in 1990 from the University of
California, San Diego, where she is currently a Professor in the Department
of Neuroscience. She is the principal investigator of the Neuroinformatics
Framework project, a national project to establish a uniform resource
description framework for neuroscience.  Her recent work has focused on
building ontologies for neuroscience for data integration. She just
completed her tenure as the US scientific representative to the
International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF), where she
still heads a program on ontologies. Dr. Martone recently joined FORCE11,
an organization dedicated to advancing scholarly communication and
e-scholarship, as Executive Director.


Anita de Waard is Disruptive Technologies Director at Elsevier Labs. She
has a degree in experimental low-temperature physics from Leiden
university, and worked at the Kapitza Institute in Moscow, before joining
Elsevier as a physics publisher in 1988. Since 1997 she has worked on
bridging the gap between science publishing and computational and
information technologies, collaborating with different academic groups in
Europe and the US. Her past work includes the application of Semantic Web
technologies to scientific communication in the DOPE project, and the
development of an Entity Identification database in the EU-funded OKKAM
project. Other projects include co-organising a series of workshops with
the goal of enunciating the key possibilities and main impediments to
change scientific communications, including ‘Beyond the PDF’ and ‘FORCE11:
The Future of Research Communications and E-Science’ http://force11.org.
>From January 2006 onwards, de Waard has been working part-time as a
researcher at the University of Utrecht on discourse analysis of biological
text, with an emphasis on finding key rhetorical components that form a
model of how biologists’ claims turn to facts.
