From Nature Publishing, Timo Hannay's Keynote at IDCC 2009: "From Web 2.0 to the Global Database"

This speech was given by Hannay at the 5th International Digital Curation Conference last week in London.

From a Text Summary of Hannay's Keynote Speech by Kirsty McGill:

Hannay took a step back to take a bigger picture view. He began by giving an overview to his work at Nature, noting that the majority of their business is through the web – although not everyone reads the work electronically, they do access the content through the web. He then explained how journals are being coming more structured, with links providing supplementary links and information. He admitted that this information is not yet structured enough, but it is there – making the journal more like databases.

Hannay moved on to explain that Nature is getting involved in database publishing. They help to curate and peer-review database content and commission additional articles to give context to the data. This is a very different way of being a science publisher – so the change is not just for those doing the science!
