The Internet has revolutionized the access to scientific documents, but not the accessibility of the knowledge involved. Conventional web technologies like search engines are handicapped, as fundamental assumptions like the universality of language (for precision) and high redundancy (for recall) are not met in scientific documents, which crucially depend on embedded representations of scientific objects, such as mathematical formulae, molecules and graphs, provenance statements, such as proofs and experimental details, and context, such as theories, notations and model assumptions. We believe that the next step in the revolution is scientific intelligent content, where scientific objects carry an explicit representation of their inherent semantics - i.e. their dependence on, and contribution to, context --- which can be used by software agents to provide high-level, intelligent services to scientists, engineers, and the interested public. In particular, as systems and scientific objects can educate and inform users in their use, accessibility of science will be enhanced significantly. As the move to intelligent content will have significant impact on the European knowledge industry, the SciML consortium involves strong industry partners, who will develop systems, work-flows and exploitation plans. The goal of the SciML project is to develop, implement, and provide semantics-based and context-aware techniques for acquiring, organizing, processing, sharing, publishing, using, and repurposing scientific content to support research, education, and technology application. Current standardization efforts are disciplinary and therefore vertical in nature, and lack interoperability. We want to develop a transdisciplinary meta-language framework SciML and the key associated content dictionaries as an open standard, and augment it by a knowledge management regime SciKM to arrive at an eScience suite of interoperable applications that support all scientific activities, much like an office suite does for administrative tasks.
