 * Scientific publishing is going to change by the emerging semantic web in a big
   way. Tim Berners-Lee and colleagues predicted that the semantic web “could bring
   about a revolution in how, for example, scientific content is managed throughout
   its life cycle.” This revolution is long overdue considering the fact the current
   publishing model for scientific research and development has not changed much
   for ages.
 * But, this is about to change. Web2express.org ([http://web2express.org/](http://web2express.org/))
   has been coordinating a task force within W3C Healthcare and Life Science interest
   group to create ontology for publishing research data and research tool information
   in semantic data model. And now web2express.org, an open research lab, has just
   released a demo version of the semantic web publishing tool and also launched
   the web2express.org web site that is built on the same publishing software.
 * Researchers can use this tool to self-publish information about any experiment,
   project, protocol and tool in a structured format that facilitate data sharing
   and discovery on the web.
 * Web2x publishing tool is built on popular WordPress blogger software, which provides
   good ways to interact with readers, organize and archive content, and optimize
   the web site for search engines.
 * There is a demo installation at [http://www.web2express.org/demo/](http://www.web2express.org/demo/)
   You can play around the cool features there. Free download is available at [https://sourceforge.net/projects/web2x/](https://sourceforge.net/projects/web2x/)
 * To further develop this tool to better serve the research community, web2express.
   org is putting this tool into open source development community and thus invites
   everyone who’s interested in shaping the revolution of scientific publishing 
   to join the development.
