oa-sandbox's Introduction

Welcome to the Open-Access Sandbox

The goal of this project is to build reading and searching tools for the scientific literature based around open-access, online content. We have integrated eLife Lens with the open-access portion of the PubMed Central database, and have built a search interface wrapped around PubMed itself.

To see the tool in action visit http://www.oa-sandbox.org.

Most importantly, this project is intended as an experiment in how the scientific literature can work in a web-connected world. If you have an idea for how to make it better, fork the project and try it. No coding experience? Or open an issue and make your suggestion.

oa-sandbox's Issues

Working copies of forks?

I'm wondering, if all of the code is JavaScript, if we could create a system where each fork or branch of the project would all be live and functional in real-time.
For example, if I create a branch CAYdenberg/oa-sandbox.git, could a working copy of my branch then be available at www.oa-sandbox.org/CAYdenberg? The it would really be a sandbox ...
If not sure if this can be done using GitHub pages.

Cacheing Lens JSON

Store Lens JSON on the server so that once an article is viewed, the NLM XML does not have to be passaged through the Lens converter to be viewed. The advantages are:

  • improved performance
  • make it easier to make pretty URLs
  • we can expose the JSON to an API that developers on other projects can consume. There is currently no server on the interwebs for Lens JSON.

We are largely agnostic to the choice of server-side language but Python was floated as this would make it easier for interested parties (scientists) to get involved. Some cursory research by me today revealed http://python-eve.org/ as a possible framework that would work.
