Making Science Machine Readable

holy_calamity writes "New Scientist is reporting on a new open source tool for writing up scientific experiments for computers, not humans. Called EXPO, it avoids the many problems computers have with natural language, and can be applied to any experiment, from physics to biology. It could at last let computers do real science - looking at published results and theories for new links and directions."

      It's really telling about the /. community that they complain about the old look for ages and, as soon as it is changed, they complain about the new look and insist that we go back to the old one. Granted, I like the old one better, too, but I've been saying that we shouldn't change it for as long as everyone's been complaining.
