Nanopublications are a novel approach to scholarly communication, particularly within the field of nanotechnology. They encapsulate tiny, self-contained pieces of scientific information, typically focused on a specific assertion, observation, or experimental result. A nanopublication consists of three key components: the assertion itself, the provenance of this assertion, and the publication information. This structure not only makes nanopublications highly interoperable but also enhances their machine-readability, facilitating easy integration into larger datasets or knowledge graphs.
