SciCura Shared, General-purpose Curation Steven Vercruysse ' Ver - cruise' / Cruy Martin Kuiper A 'general purpose' curation platform, to make 'local curation' globally scalable

Local Curation

Harness the Curating Crowd Based on Baumgartner trends (2007) and PubMed statistics (2013) Published 200520072009201120132015201720192021 Structured 22 Million 'Small/mid-scale' curation (small in WORKFORCE and SCOPE) Transformative tech?

John eats Chicken with Fork 1. Spreadsheets: are inflexible 'Real' biological information 2. Formal Languages: are hard to learn FEW facts (experts only) HARD to explain to computer => Few details curated => Few papers curated The 'Curation Struggle' SHALLOW extraction Most information doesn't FIT
5
VSM (Visual Syntax Markup) Solution: stcruy A new curation method / user-interface that is ultra-flexible + easy-to-use
6
VSM Curation Interface
7
... Information, boiled down to its essence. "Formulate it so you can use tridents". Flexible Easy to build complex sentences Easy to use VSM Curation Interface

VSM Templates - Pre-added components

VSM Templates - Pre-added components - Quick & accurate to fill in

VSM Templates - Pre-added components - Quick & accurate to fill in - Extensible with extra components
12
SciCura Open web-application for creating Structured Summaries of papers flexible easy => Any topic can be curated => Many people can curate VSM Publication Title X VSM enables web app SciCura enables

Prototype and First Use Case Selection of templates (early-stage templates) Multi-user, cooperative
18
Prototype
19
Prototype: input (Ask me for demo!) User Quote: “From a user's side, I don't think that complexity is difficult to handle at all. In fact, I'm excited about all the complexity we can now handle in such an elegant manner. It allows us to focus on the biology; no more need to worry about the entry format so much. It makes it so quick. It's so smooth. :D ” - Astrid L.

Prototype: output script + API
22
- 3000+ detailed statements (DbTF-TG + context; 6 ppl) - Designed for more use cases (in future) - Login by invite (to control edits) (-> ask a demo!) - Plan to put source code on GitHub (after tidy-up) (to enable community development) Prototype and First Use Case

And that's a short introduction to SciCura!
