  1. Re:Content is king on Google Developing Database Service · · Score: 1

    Part of Google Scholar is trying to do this. It is a very difficult problem, but I think there is hope. It currently is not as good as scientists want/need. I want to be able to say "Give me all the microscope pictures of my favorite type of cell that have been exposed to a particular drug and have been published in peer reviewed journals in the past two years." The underlying data have enough structure that a clever person might be able to make this possible. The whole internet is currently too unstructured for me to believe a generalized search (i.e. Google homepage) can aspire to this type of query.

    My vt.edu account was up for 2 or 3 years after graduation, then was gone (though they gave me a head's up first). I just ran across this site which has access to such an alum account. I haven't had my address there long enough to judge it though.
