Abstract
For centuries, scholarly knowledge has been buried in documents. While articles are
great to convey the story of scientific work to peers, they make it hard for machines to
process scholarly knowledge. The recent proliferation of the scholarly literature and
the increasing inability of researchers to digest, reproduce, reuse its content are
constant reminders that we urgently need a transformative digitalization of the
scholarly literature. Building on the Open Research Knowledge Graph (http://orkg.org)
as a concrete research infrastructure, in this talk we present how using crowdsourcing
and text mining humans and machines can collaboratively build scholarly knowledge
bases, i.e. systems that acquire, curate and publish data, information and knowledge
published in the scholarly literature in structured and semantic form. We discuss some
key challenges that human and technical infrastructures face as well as the
possibilities scholarly knowledge bases enable.
