STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced a new partnership agreement with NextBio, provider of an innovative platform that enables life science researchers to search, discover and share knowledge locked within public and proprietary data. This agreement allows for an integration of NextBio's set of ontology-based semantic tools and a compilation of high quality sources of public data on Elsevier's online scientific research platform, ScienceDirect.
While most scientific information on genes, pathways, diseases, tissues and compounds is available online, it currently resides in various disconnected locations. Enhancing ScienceDirect with NextBio's biomedical ontology framework enables life sciences, health sciences and chemistry researchers to analyse ScienceDirect content and search ScienceDirect peer-reviewed literature together with publicly available research data from PubMed, clinical trials, experimental data, and news articles, on one single platform.
NextBio's platform seamlessly combines powerful tools with unique correlated content to transform information into knowledge, providing the foundation for new scientific discoveries. NextBio is delivered as a SaaS (Software as a Service) solution, resulting in quick deployment and rapid return on investment.
The new enhancement will become available on ScienceDirect and accessible to subscribed users in summer 2009.
