Combining computational models, semantic annotations, and associated simulation experiments in a graph database

I love the idea and just tweeted your pre-print. Can you expand on the basics of semantic annotation & ontologies more extensively. These are really cool ideas and lines 144-145 j...

Formalized synthesis opportunities for ecology: systematic reviews and meta-analyses

Thanks for both of the above comments. Working backwards, I am going to cut the ranking comment, it is not necessary. As to the first suggestion, wow, I have no idea you could expo...

Practical interpretation of ecological meta-analyses

I am going to dig in one more time on this one and add some new references. I may also expand the scope to be more general in how we conceptualize effective substrates for meta-an...
