In addition, we have published downloadable spreadsheets containing data from within tables and figures, have enriched these with provenance information, and have demonstrated various types of data fusion (mashups) with results from other research articles and with Google Maps. We have also published machine-readable RDF metadata both about the article and about the references it cites, for which we developed a Citation Typing Ontology, CiTO (http://purl.org/net/cito/). 2009-05-14T07:49:58+00:00 http://www.euskara.euskadi.net/r59-bpeduki/eu/contenidos/noticia/albis17_367_eitb_09_04/eu_eitb/albis17_367_eitb_09_04.html Euskaltzaindia eta EITBren akordioaEuskaltzaindiak eta Euskal Irrati Telebistak (EITB) lankidetza-hitzarmena sinatu berri dute. Hitzarmen horren bitartez, EITBk ekoitzitako hainbat testu Euskaltzaindiaren eskuetan jarriko ditu, Akademiak Lexikoaren Behatokia egitasmoa gara dezan. Lexikoaren Behatokiak ikerketarako testu-corpus etiketatu eta linguistikoki antolatua prestatzea du helburu. Euskaltzaindiak prosa arruntezko corpusa prestatu nahi du, bai lexikoaren erabileran azterketak egiteko, bai eta lexikoari dagozkion arauak eta gomendioak dokumentatzeko ere. Corpus hori osatzeko hainbat hornitzaile aurreikusi ditu Euskaltzaindiak, gehienak hedabideak. EITBren kasuan, 2000. urteaz geroztik ekoitzitako testuak jarriko ditu akademiaren eskuetan.

This web, consists of inter-connected instance data annotated with possibly expressive ontologies. Therefore a tremendous amount of information becomes available that should be processed based on formal semantics attached to it. The Semantic Web community has developed a number of languages (such as RDF, RDF Schema, OWL) that deploy logic for this purpose. Impressive progress has been made on scalable storage, querying and inference for these languages, and they are successfully being deployed on large intranets and medium-scale web-applications. However existing reasoning techniques often fail to live up to the expectations put into them in this context. They can often neither deal with high number of instances, the expressiveness of the ontologies describing them or the inherent inconsistency and incompleteness of data on the Web. 2009-05-04T00:34:26+00:00 http://www.bubok.com/libros/597/El-arte-de-empezar Con más de 150.000 ejemplares vendidos en Estados Unidos, 'El arte de empezar' nos enseña los pasos que debemos dar para lanzar al mercado buenos productos, servicios y compañías, sean del tipo que sean.

The project began in July 2007. Most of its early months were devoted to design and diligence on contributing efforts. The first release of the ontology was in July 2008. The project has been growing quickly ever since. UMBEL stands for Upper Mapping and Binding Exchange Layer. Umbel-ed flowers, like Queen Anne's Lace or licorice, come from the Apiaceae familiy (what used to be called the Umbelliferae, for "umbels of umbels"). Umbel has the same Latin root as umbrella ( umbra for shade, or umbella for parasol). The name conveys the umbrella-like nature of UMBEL's subject concept structure. 2009-03-05T15:21:09+00:00 http://www.evri.com/ Evri Search is a search and text analysis infrastructure that automatically identifies and makes available for rapid retrieval linguistic links connecting people, places, and things found on the web.

The remit for the work of the research team is quite wide and includes helping projects find and exploit synergies across the programme and beyond, gathering scenarios and use cases from projects, liaising with other national and international repositories activities, including liaison with the e-Framework, synthesizing project and programme outcomes, and engaging with interoperability standards activity and repository architectures. The Repositories Research Team is a collaboration between UKOLN and JISC CETIS. UKOLN have worked previously on repositories in a number of contexts including ePrints UK, the Open Archives Forum and Delos, and JISC CETIS, the JISC Centre for Educational Technology and Interoperability Standards, has considerable experience in supporting the development of digital repositories for e-learning. 2009-02-05T00:05:50+00:00 http://www.icbl.hw.ac.uk/~philb/ My main interests are supporting the use of learning technology at Universities, particularly through supporting the selection of appropriate resources. My main areas of work are standards for resource description and the evaluation of computer based resources for engineering and physical science education. Currently I work coordinating the JISC CETIS metadata and digital repository domain work, and as an learning technology adviser for the HE Academy Engineering subject centre. Other recent projects include FAILTE and Reset and LearnEM, each relating to promoting the sharing of learning resources for Engineering. 2009-02-05T00:03:30+00:00 http://www.openarchives.org/ore/ Open Archives Initiative Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of Web resources. These aggregations, sometimes called compound digital objects, may combine distributed resources with multiple media types including text, images, data, and video. The goal of these standards is to expose the rich content in these aggregations to applications that support authoring, deposit, exchange, visualization, reuse, and preservation. Although a motivating use case for the work is the changing nature of scholarship and scholarly communication, and the need for cyberinfrastructure to support that scholarship, the intent of the effort is to develop standards that generalize across all web-based information including the increasing popular social networks of “web 2.0”. 2009-02-04T23:55:42+00:00 http://www.slideshare.net/j.allinson/swap-a-dublin-core-application-profile-for-desribing-scholarly-works SWAP a Dublin Core application profile for describing scholarly works Produced for by the Eduserv Foundation and UKOLN Images Application Profile meeting 29th October 2007, London Julie Allinson Digital Library Manager Library & Archives, University of York 2009-02-04T22:51:33+00:00 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FriendFeed FriendFeed is a feed aggregator that consolidates the updates from social media and social networking websites, social bookmarking websites, blogs and micro-blogging updates, as well as any other type of RSS/ Atom feed. Users can use this stream of information to create customized feeds to share (and comment) with friends.[1] Bloggers writing about FriendFeed have said that this service addresses the shortcomings of social media services which exclusively facilitate tracking of their own members' social media activities on that particular social media service, whereas FriendFeed provides the facility to track these activities (such as posting on blogs, Twitter and Flickr) across a broad range of different social networks.[2] 2009-02-04T21:19:01+00:00 http://www.slideshare.net/eduservfoundation/repositories-and-web-20-have-we-got-our-repository-architecture-right What is a repository? a university-based institutional repository is a set of services that a university offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. It is most essentially an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation where appropriate, as well as organization and access or distribution. … An institutional repository is not simply a fixed set of software and hardware (Cliff Lynch, 2003) 2009-02-04T21:07:58+00:00 http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/projects/grand-challenge/ robust ways of handling information and knowledge — for example, design models, processes and rationale — over the lifetime of product-services such as PFI hospitals, schools and military equipment.

It is a model for library service that encourages constant and purposeful change, inviting user participation in the creation of both the physical and the virtual services they want, supported by consistently evaluating services. It also attempts to reach new users and better serve current ones through improved customer-driven offerings. Each component by itself is a step toward better serving our users; however, it is through the combined implementation of all of these that we can reach Library 2.0. 2009-02-02T12:15:20+00:00 http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/events/booksonline08/index.htm The BooksOnline'08 Workshop on "Setting the Roadmap for Research Advances in Large Digital Book Repositories" will take place in Napa Valley, CA, on October 30, 2008, in conjunction with CIKM 2008. The workshop is focused on opportunities for innovation and challenges that are presented by large online collections of books. It will include presentations, parallel break-out sessions, and a panel discussion of the findings and recommendations. Goals The workshop aims to bring together researchers and industry practitioners, in Information Retrieval, Digital Libraries, eBooks, Human Computer Interaction, Publishing industry and on-line book services with the goal to map out the agenda for digital book research for the next 5 years. 2009-02-01T19:15:52+00:00 http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~hendler/ Jim Hendler is the Tetherless World Senior Constellation Chair at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he directs the "Future of Information" Project and has appointments in the Department of Computer Science and the Cognitive Science Dept.

First, NLP systems can now automatically create annotations from unstructured text. This provides the data that semantic web applications require. Second, NLP systems are themselves consumers of semantic web information and thus provide economic motivation for people to create and maintain such information. For example, a new generation of natural language search systems, as illustrated by Powerset, can take advantage of semantic web markup and ontologies to augment their interpretation of underlying textual content. They can also expose semantic web services directly in response to natural language queries. 2009-01-28T20:39:24+00:00 http://www.scivee.tv/node/3473 Yogesh Simmhan discusses "MyLEAD Metadata Catalog" at TeraGrid 2006, originally hosted on SDSC's CI Channel .

The Semantic Web may contribute by providing a language basis and ontologies to support structuring, or introducing new ways to explore the information space. This may be achieved by combining semantics from semantic web resources with structure of the sharing platforms (tags, social acquaintances etc.) and automatic content analysis tools. This workshop targets integration arising from the mining of Web 2.0 information, multimedia content and knowledge with help of the Semantic Web. 2008-11-14T05:45:24+00:00 http://ixa.si.ehu.es/openmt OpenMT: Open Source Machine Translation using hybrid methods: RBMT-EBMT methods. 2008-11-03T18:10:22+00:00 http://www.thinkartificial.org/web/twine-introduction/ For the past few months I’ve been an active member of Twine.com; a beta semantic web app riddled with AI to help us organize, share and discover information.
