The SubSift Services project will decompose SubSift, an innovative “submission sifting” application developed at the University of Bristol, into a collection of lightweight REST services designed to support not only peer review but also personalised data discovery and mashups. As a demonstrator of the utility of these services, the full functionality of the original SubSift software will be recreated and extended as a simple mash-up in Yahoo! Pipes. Importantly, while the services and demonstrator will be useful in their own right, they will also allow the project to promote a community dialogue on open standards-based integration of such services into existing peer review support tools, e.g. conference management systems.
