You need to have a current version of Office 2007 or Word 2007 to use the add in, prior versions do not work.  If you are doing quite a bit of scientific research, this might be worth looking at to link to vocabularies and areas of study.  If you are not involved in scientific research, skip this post and move on the the next one.  BD

REDMOND, Wash., and SAN JOSE, Calif. — March 11, 2009 — The nuggets of information necessary for simagecience to progress are often hard to find, submerged deep within the Web, or within databases that can’t be easily accessed or integrated. As a result, many scientists today work in relative isolation, follow blind alleys and unnecessarily duplicate existing research.

Addressing this critical challenge for researchers, Microsoft Corp. and Creative Commons announced today, before an industry panel at the O’Reilly Emerging Technology Conference (ETech 2009, http://en.oreilly.com/et2009), the release of the Ontology Add-in for Microsoft Office Word 2007 that will enable authors to easily add scientific hyperlinks as semantic annotations, drawn from ontologies, to their documents and research papers. Ontologies are shared vocabularies created and maintained by different academic domains to model their fields of study.

This Add-in will make it easier for scientists to link their documents to the Web in a meaningful way. Deployed on a wide scale, ontology-enabled scientific publishing will provide a Web boost to scientific discovery.

Science Commons, a division of Creative Commons, is incubating the adoption of semantic scientific publishing through creation of a robust database of ontologies (http://neurocommons.org) and development of supporting technical standards and code. Microsoft Research has built a technology bridge to enable the link between Microsoft Office Word 2007 and these ontologies.

“The Web is broken for scientific researchers — full of hyperlinks of scholarly articles, but it is nearly impossible for us to find what we need,” said John Wilbanks, vice president for Science at Creative Commons. “The semantic Web tool will help bridge the gap between basic research and meaningful discovery, unlocking the value of research so more people can benefit from the work scientists are doing.”

  1. Usually when I print I use word files,and once I printed important text and asved it,next day I saw that file was corrupted,and thanks my friend,he advised me-word was unable to read this document it may be corrupt,as he said it is free,moreover program will help you, when you lose your document in Microsoft Word, that is very important for you,read docx file, due to Microsoft Word instability, an unexpected reboot of your PC, power failure or even incorrect closure of this program, when read unreadable .docx file, can cause Word 2007 Word was unable to read this document,repair unreadable Word documents, when cannot read docx file, or repair file Word en unable to be read or recovering unreadable document in Word,export recovered content into a new file in Microsoft Word format, all other functions, including possibility to work with unreadable doc file, are the same.
