万维网彻底改变了来自不同学科的研究人员如何进行远距离合作。这一点在生命科学领域尤为重要，跨学科方法作为整合和发现的驱动力正变得越来越强大。数据访问、数据质量、身份和出处都是促进和加速这些协作企业的关键因素，语义Web技术有望在这方面产生深远的影响。本文回顾了需要，并探讨了这些新的互联网信息工具的优势和挑战，从生物医学界的例子说明。
The World Wide Web has revolutionized how researchers from various disciplines collaborate over long distances. This is nowhere more important than in the Life Sciences, where interdisciplinary approaches are becoming increasingly powerful as a driver of both integration and discovery. Data access, data quality, identity, and provenance are all critical ingredients to facilitate and accelerate these collaborative enterprises and it is here where Semantic Web technologies promise to have a profound impact. This paper reviews the need for, and explores advantages of as well as challenges with these novel Internet information tools as illustrated with examples from the biomedical community.
