An automatic pipeline based on an algorithm that identifies new resources in publications every month to assist the efficiency of NIF curators. The pipeline is also able to find the last time the resource's webpage was updated and whether the URL is still valid. This can assist the curator in knowing which resources need attention. Additionally, the pipeline identifies publications that reference existing NIF Registry resources as this is also of interest. These mentions are available through the Data Federation version of the NIF Registry, http://neuinfo.org/nif/nifgwt.html?query=nlx_144509 The RDF is based on an algorithm on how related it is to neuroscience. (hits of neuroscience related terms). Each potential resource gets assigned a score (based on how related it is to neuroscience) and the resources are then ranked and a list is generated.
