Subject: Report of NSF Discovery Informatics Workshop
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

"Discovery Informatics" is a broad term that is now seeing some use 
as a way of describing a series of issues that have been of ongoing 
interest to CNI: text mining for knowledge discovery; text markup, 
multimedia tagging, and metadata structures to facilitate text 
mining, linking and information retrieval , annotation frameworks, 
tools, and the implications of all of these developments for the 
scholarly publishing system in the broadest sense.

NSF sponsored a workshop on February 2-3, 2012 that, based on the 
report (I was not at the meeting) looked at many of these issues with 
particular emphasis  on the perspectives of research coming out of 
the Artificial Intelligence and machine learning communities. The 
report can be found at

and considerable background on the workshop is at

along with some information about a follow-on event scheduled for 
November 2012.
