Make literature data traceable.
Reconstruct concrete durability observations while retaining mixture, age, test protocol, units, and source evidence.
Portfolio revision: 17 October 2026
Research question
How can a literature-extraction workflow preserve the scientific identity of a durability observation?
Method & evidence
Schema-constrained extraction records mixture composition, test age, exposure, protocol, units, and source locators. Row-count and schema checks are distinguished from numerical agreement with the source.
Finding & status
The project defines an extraction and validation workflow. Its journal manuscript remains labelled under review in the recorded submission snapshot.
Conditions of interpretation
Research workflow and manuscript scope. A separate short paper is accepted for the 2026 Prototypes for Humanity programme.
My contribution
This is part of my McMaster doctoral research on reconstructing transport evidence. I am listed first on the recorded manuscript with Moncef L. Nehdi.
Authorship
First author of the recorded submitted manuscript. Detailed author-role allocations are reported only where a contribution statement is available.
