Semantic publishing or semantic web publishing refers to publishing on the web where documents are given semantic markup. Recent developments in information technology can be used for semantic enhancement of scholarly journal articles by aiding publication of metadata and providing 'lively' interactive access to content. Semantic enhancements are already being used by leading STM publishers, and automated text processing will help make these enhancements more affordable. Publishers, editors and authors have primary roles in semantic publishing making added-value 'ecosystem services' possible. In addition, semantic publishing will bring substantial benefits to scholarly communication.
