Mobile applications have the potential to greatly enhance science and medical communication by providing just-in-time information to users on-the-go. Publishers will need to design apps for direct consumer use on a variety of mobile devices. Some key considerations for publishers include determining user needs, deciding on business models, and leveraging multimedia features of platforms like the iPad to provide rich interactive content beyond what is possible on print.

RSS allows publishers to share bibliographic metadata like titles and authors through XML feeds. When users subscribe to these feeds through an RSS reader, they are notified when new content is available. This benefits both users, who can easily keep up with updates from multiple sources, and publishers, who can drive traffic back to their sites. Looking ahead, RSS has potential to further enrich metadata, create new types of feeds, and lead to new applications that make content even more seamless and useful for readers.

The document outlines the potential services, benefits, and launch process for a publishing cooperative model.
