- This set of online interaction technologies called Web 2.0 is finding its way into the scientific community.
- online tools could change science to an extent that hasn't happened since the late 17th century, when scientists started publishing their research in scientific journals.
- 7 more annotations...
- - scientists need new tools to help them deal with the data windfall, and that's what projects like Oceans 2.0 will provide
  - One way to manage the data boom will involve tagging data, much as users of websites like Flickr tag images or readers of blogs and web pages can "Digg" articles they approve.
  - If data tagging is analogous to Flickr or Digg, other initiatives look a bit like Facebook.
  - Eva Amsen, an active Nature Network user and blogger who recently completed a biochemistry doctorate at University of Toronto, says it's a good way for scientists to exchange ideas and get help with problems, something that otherwise happens mostly within one lab.
  - As blogs and sites like Twitter allow ordinary people to share details of their day-to-day lives, some scientists are sharing their laboratory activities through open lab notebooks online.
  - "You build your career by publishing papers in peer-reviewed journals," he says. "You don't do it by contributing to wikis."
  - Tools that help researchers do their work are already catching on. Technologies that leave behind the traditional model of career-building through publication are taking longer, Nielsen says — but they will come.
