Advancing Scientific Knowledge Retrieval and Reuse with a Novel Digital Library for Machine-Readable Knowledge

Digital libraries for research, such as the ACM Digital Library or Semantic Scholar, do not enable the machine-supported, efficient reuse of scientific knowledge (e.g., in synthesis research). This is because these libraries are based on document-centric models with narrative text knowledge expressions that require manual or semi-automated knowledge extraction, structuring, and organization. We present ORKG reborn, an emerging digital library that supports finding, accessing, and reusing accurate, fine-grained, and reproducible machine-readable expressions of scientific knowledge that relate scientific statements and their supporting evidence in terms of data and code. The rich expressions of scientific knowledge are published as reborn (born-reusable) articles and provide novel possibilities for scientific knowledge retrieval, for instance by statistical methods, software packages, variables, or data matching specific constraints. We describe the proposed system and demonstrate its practical viability and potential for information retrieval in contrast to state-of-the-art digital libraries and document-centric scholarly communication using several published articles in research fields ranging from computer science to soil science. Our work underscores the enormous potential of scientific knowledge databases and a viable approach to their construction.

A minimal, declarative setup for productive Rust ๐Ÿฆ€ hacking on Emacs + Guix

https://jointhefreeworld.org/blog/articles/rust/simple-guix-emacs-rust-development-environment/index.html

I noticed there was a blatant lack of resources and documentation on this particular setup.

With a tiny manifest and a small Emacs configuration, you get a powerful, reproducible, elegant Rust development environment.

Thanks to the @fsf for promoting GNU Guix's fundraising.

Like many other Free Software project's we depend on our users and fans support to pay for the project's expenses.

We're running a campaign to 'sustain and strengthen' Guix. As a #linux distribution we have a lot of #packages which costs quite a bit to build and distribute to users. And, as we use the declarative and reproducible system pioneered by #Nix we rebuild packages whenever there's a change.

If you'd like to know more about what we're doing, or support the project you can check out the blog post:

https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2025/fundraising-campaign-to-sustain-gnu-guix/

We appreciate any support that people can give!

How can labs keep #experimental #data safe, shareable, and #reproducible?

At the @universityofgroningen Stratingh Institute, a new system links measurement devices to secure storage, automating backups and cutting the risk of data loss. Itโ€™s a glimpse of how smart #DataManagement can make #research #FAIR and future-proof.

@thatdnaguy @Guillawme @naturepoker cold storage is cheap, we pay roughly a one off fee of 10โ‚ฌ/TB with a second of site copy, but this is assuming you have an IT unit serving a tape storage for your institution.
I'm not sure how #reproducible is analysing the same sample for the second time. At least with #nanopore, you'll get very different readout due to newer software, updates in chemistry and so on...
