EScience is a popular topic in academic circles. As several recent reports advocate, a new form of scientific enquiry is emerging in which fundamental advances are made by mining information in digital formats, from datasets to digitized books [1][2]. The arguments are so persuasive that agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) have created grant programs to support eScience, while universities have set up research institutes and degree programs [3][4]. The American Chemical Society has even registered the name "eScience" as a trademark.
