SciLINC:Scientific Literature Indexing on Networked Computers

Missouri Botanical Garden proposes Scientific Literature Indexing on Networked Computers (SciLINC), a public-resource computing application that will automatically index 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. Public-resource computing applications use internet-connected PCs to analyze data when the PC is not active. These applications generally run in the form of a screensaver, taking advantage of unused computer processing power to analyze vast amounts of data.

Our application, freely available to the general public, will analyze text from digitized botanical literature in order to return a full-text index and a keyword index for each page. These keywords will be 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.

The project is structured to achieve four primary goals:
Increase public access to nationally significant scientific literature. The Missouri Botanical Garden Library contains a wealth of primary scientific literature on plants, but it is not widely available to the public. In addition, scientists and students from all over the world travel to our library to use the rare and unique botanical literature in our collection. Making these materials freely available via the Web will provide an unparalleled resource for scientists, students, and the general public.
Enhance the usefulness of digitized materials by creating a Web repository of scanned literature, keywords, and online resources with tools for searching and analysis. Users will be able to search across the digitized text and discover where their search term exists in our digitized collection. In addition, we will use SciLINC to identify and annotate special terms, or keywords, throughout our digitized collection. These keywords will be derived from our world-renowned botanical databases and will include plant names, place names, authors, and other phrases of interest to people studying plants. These keywords will have outlinks to other online resources, creating an annotated, interconnected web of information about plants.
Create an educational tool for learning about plant life. While the screensaver application is indexing keywords, the participant's computer will display information about plant life within the United States and around the world. The information displayed will describe each plant name or term currently being indexed on the participant's computer, and will include descriptive data, images, maps, and the annotated outlinks for that term.
Provide a model for adopting public-resource computing applications within the library community. Public-resource computing applications have been successfully employed in research and museum communities to analyze large amounts of data, but so far have not been applied within libraries. These applications hold great promise for solving complex problems needing vast amounts of computer processing power, and we aim to provide the model for bringing this technology into the library community.

Anticipated Results: At the completion of the three-year project, the project team will have created a Web portal that scientists and the public can use to access nationally important literature about plants. Furthermore, we will have designed a distributed application, available to any interested volunteer, that automates the indexing of digitized literature and locates the occurrence of keywords within that literature. Finally, we will have provided a model for incorporating public-resource computing into library projects.

---------- 20:51 12.06.2007 ----------

Wrr - niby mają cały hektar próbek (ponad 50 tyś) na wydanie a nic mi nie chcą podesłać. I jakoś nie widzę zeby ta liczba spadała choć niby server_status odświeżany jest za każdym razem jak odświezam strone ( a nie tak jak na innych projektach czasem co pięć minut)

---------- 09:29 13.06.2007 ----------

Ten projekt jest jakoś mocno podejrzany. Cały czas mają te same ilości na http://www.scilinc.org/SciLINC/server_status.php (57,882 do rozesłania) http://www.scilinc.org/SciLINC/top_users.php - punktowało tylko 4 userów. Generalnie albo coś sie u nich solidnie spieprzyło albo nie wiem co. Gdyby to był torrent to bym powiedział ze to fake.

[AL]

Wydaje mi się, że projekt jest po prostu w bardzo wczesnej fazie rozwoju i stąd takie sytuacje. Całkiem podobnie było do nie dawna w Lattice - próbki były, pojawiały się i znikały - tylko nikt ich nie mógł złapać poza twórcami projektu.

[PMG]

To nie mogą tego napisać na pierwszej stronie ? co im to da ze sobie naściągają ludzi teraz jak nie mają nic do rozdania.

[kempler]

Znają problem. W poniedziałek pojawi się ok. 650.000 WU o krótkim czasie przeliczania.

[kempler]

Ajajaj
Trzeba się POWAŻNIE zastanowić przed przyłączeniem się do projektu i przeliczaniem WU. Na gorszym kompie ściągnęło mi kilkanaście lub kilkadziesiąt WU które dosłownie sparaliżowały mojego kompa. Na jedną WU przypada kilkanaście plików do ściągnięcia i odesłania. Z moim łączem powinno to trwać chwilę ale się ciągło i ciągło w nieskończoność. Mój BOINC Manager nie odpowiada. Po kilku resetach udało mi się kliknąć  aby nie pobierał nowych WU. W tej chwili Manager dalej nie reaguje ale cały czas pracuje na 100% mocy procka. Liczę na to że uda mu się to w kilka godzin przetrawić i wróci do normy. Na forum BOINCStats koleś pisał że ma podobny problem.
Póki co ja rezygnuje z tego projektu.

[bartsob5]

ja dostalem 50 probek... dlugo sciagal, przeliczyl po 2 sekundy kazda i teraz odsyla... tez dlugo..

edit 1181 transferow, menadzer ma chyba wyrazne klopoty z poradzeniem sobie z taka iloscia, zreszta ichny serwer tez...

[AL]

Nie było mnie w domu, ale chyba coś było na rzeczy bo mam jeszcze kilkadziesiąt odesłanych - ale nie zaraportowanych.

[KrzychuP]

U mnie to samo. :(
Właśnie próbuję zaprzestać pobierania plików  :x

Na stronie mają coś takiego


SciLINC
Server Down
We have experienced a database corruption.

Updates will be posted here as they are available. At this time we expect to have things back on-line within a day or two.

8:26 June 18, 2007 SciLINC causing High CPU Load
AlphaLaser and other users on the BOINCstats forums and the BOINC forums have brought to our attention an issue where the large number of files being served up for each workunit are causing high CPU loads in the core BOINC client.

Augustine found a partial workaround to this. It is discussed on BOINCstats as well.

After the database is back on-line we will be looking into correcting this issue.

17:30 June 18, 2007 Corruption Caused by Electrical Problems
We have finished our examination and remote analysis of the main SciLINC server. This lead us to believe that it was the victim of electrical problems. It was later confirmed that there were some transient electrical issues on Saturday in the building where the machine is housed.

Binary junk was found written across a number of log files on this server. Those files belong to various SciLINC processes, MySQL, Apache and the Linux Kernel itself all around 7:02 PM local time Saturday the 16th. That's UTC 00:02 Sunday the 17th. This coincides with a "disturbance in the force" that knocked a number of other machines offline over the weekend as well.

These things should not happen, but they do. There are plans to move the machine to a better location in the next couple of weeks.

At this point we are filing bug reports, as requested in the log files, since MySQL is unable to recover from the transaction logs that are present. As soon as this is done we will be attempting recovery of the database and then work on getting the project back on-line.

We will keep you posted and thank you for your continued support.

11:05 June 18, 2007 New Account Creation Temporarily Disabled
New account creation has been temporarily disabled until we can iron out some of the issues that we are having.

Projekt powoli wraca do życia - chociaż napewno minie jeszcze trochę czasu zanim nowe wu zaczną tworzyć i rozsyłać.

[bartsob5]

powiem tak: LOL!

spojrzalem sobie na nasza sygnaturke, a tam, ze B@P zdobyl 1 pkt... se mysle:

no jak to? przeciez to ja mam 0,4pkt w tym projekcie!

przygladam sie blizej statystykom, a tam sie okazuje, ze zdobylem 30% wszystkich pkt zdobytych przez polakow... no jak to tak?! trzeba sie wziac do roboty!

[AL]

No ba - tylko próbek brak :cry:

[KrzychuP]

nie sposób Ci AL przyznać racji

[bartsob5]

nie sposób Ci AL przyznać racji

nie da sie ukryc... ale do tego czasu ciesze sie z moich 30%:D

Na wiki też jest w zawieszonych także to tylko niedopatrzenie w liście projektów.
