Postgenomic / Connotea mashup


Inspired by Pedro's original Greasemonkey script I've written pgconnotea.user.js, which adds a comment icon (see the speech bubbles next to the DOI in the image above) next to Connotea bookmarks representing papers indexed by Postgenomic.

At the moment it works by checking DOIs - a great next step would be using the JSON results from the Postgenomic API instead (see the comments at the top of the script) to check for OAI / Pubmed identifiers too.

update: here's a link to a Connotea page that definitely contains a paper listed in Postgenomic. If you're trying the script out and you don't see any comment icons there, even after a refresh, drop me a line so that I can try and figure out what's wrong.

Nice script ! Moreover wase sure that there were some security issues with calling another server from a GM script but you show me I was wrong :-)

Nice :) thanks.
So, why not change connotea directly to give this information optionally to users?

I only noticed the new PG version know. Looks nice, a lot of extra info.
How did you get those two posts tagged as research ? Should we tag our post in some special way to mark it as research ? What about conferences ?

Nice one. Further to Pedro's questions, is there a format in which we could send you recommended blogs, that would make it easier for you to add them to PG's index base? Or should we just email a list?

Yeah, I uploaded the new Postgenomic this morning. There's a wiki associated with it that didn't copy properly, which is why there aren't any instructions about how to mark up conferences / research. :) Should all be up tommorrow.

Bill - there isn't, but there should be (any suggestions? Maybe OPML exports from RSS readers..?). In the meantime emailing a list is best.
