Thought this might be of interest.

Tim Clark, Director of Informatics, Mass General Institute for  
Neurodegenerative Disease, is presenting a seminar at the Oxford  
eResearch Centre on 4th December called  Data, Community and  
Discourse: a Framework for Science Web 3.0 .

Science Web 3.0 is an emerging system of semantically linked data,  
integrated with the Social Web, in support of science collaboration  
and scientific knowledge integration. This powerful environment for  
capturing, organizing and sharing scientific knowledge is now  
beginning to be taken up in real projects in the form of Scientific  
Social Communities. Tim Clark will explore critical elements of a  
common framework for Web 3.0 in scientific research, including an  
ontology of scientific discourse tractable to working scientists,  
ontology-driven text mining, and the development of computing-linked  
communities of scientists, computing researchers, software engineers,  
philanthropies and scientific publishers.
