Web 2.0 and Semantic Web: The Impact on Scientific Publishing

New publishing technologies challenge the traditional structure of peer-reviewed scientific journals. For hundreds of years the "article" has been the primary vehicle for conveying scientific information - but semantic markup, tagging, and wiki are reconstructing scientific publications into a flexible and evolving concept. This panel will look at the social and legal implications of "Web 2.0" and "Semantic Web" as they impact science and scientific knowledge.
