Ontologies as the new bases of scientific knowledge

Scientific journals published on the Web are still based on a print model. Knowledge in those articles is in text format which is not processable by softwares. A Web publishing environment is proposed which enables authors to publish articles both as a text and a software "understandable" format. Sixty articles from Health Science electronic journals were analyzed to test and evaluate the model. The results of the analysis and the model proposed are shown and discussed.
