the [Elsevier Article 2.0 Contest]():

Elsevier are clearly looking for ideas (they also have their [Grand
Challenge](http://www.elseviergrandchallenge.com/)), and there\'s been
some [interesting
commentary](http://blog.programmableweb.com/2008/11/18/mashup-scentific-publishing-in-the-elsevier-article-api-contest/)
on the Article 2.0 contest.  
The site provides some sample applications (written in XQuery), which
you can play with by [going to the list of
journals](http://article20.elsevier.com/sample-app/browse/list-journals.xqy)
that are included in the challenge and clicking down through volume and
issue until you get to individual articles.
