The Semantic Web Journal, published by IOS Press, has launched the first version of its Linked-Data Driven and Semantically Enabled Journal Platform (SEJP). The portal publishes a wide variety of data that are obtained from the journal’s unique and open review process. Each submitted manuscript is available online together with the full history of its successive decision statuses, assigned editors, solicited and voluntary reviewers, their full text reviews, and in many cases also the authors' response letters. Combined with a highly customised journal management system, this provides the journal with semantically rich manuscript time lines and networked data about authors, reviewers, and editors.
These data are now published using a SPARQL endpoint, an extended ‘bibo ontology’, and a modular Linked Data portal that provides interactive scientometrics based on established and new analysis methods. The data is extracted on-the-fly form the Drupal-based journal management system, annotated using extended ontologies, interlinked, cached, and made available for everyone’s analysis.
New features, more extensions to the used ontologies and more Linked Data will be added in the near future. The portal can be accessed here.
