SciLINC

Introduction
Scientific Literature Indexing on Networked Computers (SciLINC) is a public-resource computing application that automatically indexes large amounts of digitized scientific literature, ultimately providing users with an integrated Web portal, available at www.botanicus.org, for the discovery of information about plants.

Our project analyzes text from digitized botanical literature in order to return a full-text index and a keyword index for each page. These keywords are annotated with links to other online resources- i.e. Web pages about a particular plant- allowing users of the portal to search for terms, discover where they reside in a body of digitized literature, view the appropriate pages, and click through to discover other online resources associated with that keyword. This Web portal will be an essential tool for anyone interested in learning about plants, including scientists, students, and the general public.

Science

[The Science section might (or might not) be divided into two parts: {1} general discussion of the field, and then {2} a discussion of the project's specific endeavor. For instance, in LHC@home, we might have {1} "Science of the Large Hardon Collider" and then {2} "Science of LHC@home"
The above is desirable, because in most cases, the field of research is really fascinating, and presenting this in broad terms-- outlining the big questions-- can make it easier to understand the particulars of the project and why it is important. ]

Results

[Where known, we should attempt to keep track of each project's publications. A good list to draw from is here. ]

Links of Interest

[Why recreate the wheel; there are lots of great sources out there.; a good list of sources can be really useful to the reader.]

SciLINC In the Classroom

[For each project, please add a "[Projectname] in the Classroom" section-- with a link to Volunteer Computing In the Classroom and an article named "[Projectname] in the Classroom". (Then please add "[Projectname] in the Classroom" to the list on the main Education page.)]
