Utopia Documents is a novel tool for interacting with the scientific
literature. Developed in 2009, it is a free PDF reader that can connect the
static content of scientific articles to the dynamic world of online
content.



This week Utopia will be released as an open source project. It will also
become the platform for a new crowdsourcing tool called Lazarus. With
Lazarus, it is hoped to recover large swathes of the legacy data currently
imprisoned in the charts, tables, diagrams and free-text of life science
papers published in PDF files. This information will then be made available
as an open access database.



The developer of Utopia is computer scientist Steve Pettifer, currently
based at the University of Manchester.
