    I’m just blogging this poster from OR08 to show that it can be done.

    About this hyperposter

    This poster is a hyperdocument designed to show some potential applications for eResearch publications.

    This document has embedded semantics.

    For example, it was written in:

    Embedded geographical data (via geohash) can be used to generate a map like the one here. On the web, this is an interactive, automatic process.

    The mythical datument

    The term Datument was coined in 2004 by Peter Murray-Rust and Henry Rzepa:

    A datument is a hyperdocument for transmitting “complete” information including content and behaviour. … where the machine is supplied with tools which are semantically aware of the document content. Examples of the latter are domain-specific XML components such as maps (GML), graphics (SVG) and molecules (Chemical Markup Language, CML)

    Murray-Rust, P. & Rzepa, H.S., 2004. The Next Big Thing: From Hypermedia to Datuments. Journal of Digital Information, 5(1), p.248. Available at: http://jodi.tamu.edu/Articles/v05/i01/Murray-Rust/?printable=1

    But they are far from common. This poster / blog post / presentation / map-mashup might be the closest you have ever been to one.

    It’s only 2008 be patient!
