Friday, April 30, 2004 Institute for Social Network Analysis of the Economy (ISNAE) http://www.isnae.org/index.html The purpose of ISNAE is to study social networks and use the resulting knowledge to promote economic growth and social well-being. In order to fulfill this purpose ISNAE will conduct and support basic and applied research on social networks, collect and disseminate knowledge about social networks, and engage in activities aimed at acquiring the resources to fulfill its mission. I posted a list of Online Social Networks a few weeks ago and it is available by clicking here. I also listed the posting in my latest V2N5 May 2004 Awareness Watch™ Newsletter available at the Awareness Watch Newsletter home page. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:25 AM Center for Information Policy http://www.cip.umd.edu/ This University of Maryland research center "analyzes and provides solutions to current policy issues relating to the convergence of information and technology." The site offers news and analysis about information issues, publications, and links to Web sites on information policy. Covers topics such as copyright, records management, intelligence, and immigration systems. [Copyright 2004 by Librarians' Index to the Internet, LII] posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:20 AM Federal Document Repositories http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/pubs/decisionmatrix.pdf The draft Decision Framework for Federal Document Repositories (prepared by the GPO's Center for Research Libraries (CRL) for creating the specifications for a system of regional repositories for tangible federal government documents) will enable the Superintendent of Documents to evaluate the qualities, resources and capabilities of potential repository facilities and their governing organizations, and identify the configuration of light (accessible by many authorized users) and dark (secure, back-up) repositories most appropriate to ensure the persistent archiving and public availability of tangible federal documents. "Formation of such archives would enable Federal depository libraries to consolidate or reduce their local tangible collections secure in the knowledge that copies will be perpetually available from the GPO Collection."

Many papers discussing the hidden web and the semantic web. This has been added to the article section of Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:07 AM Common Information Environment Seeks To Reveal the Hidden Web http://society.guardian.co.uk/e-public/story/0,13927,1195901,00.html Most searches conducted on general-use search engines such as Google deliver a plethora of irrelevant results -- like links to Leonardo DiCaprio when the keyword is "Titanic." But for those seeking historical information, it's often better to start with specialized Web sites, such as those hosted by the National Archives or a maritime museum. Paul Miller, director of Common Information Environment (CIE), says there's a wealth of information on organizational Web sites, but most people never think to look there. "There's an awful lot of stuff there that's not being used to its full potential. Too much remains hidden among the low-quality information that clutters the Web and behind technical, commercial and administrative barriers." The goal of the CIE is to open up this treasure trove of data held on publicly funded Web sites -- the so-called "hidden Web" -- to non-specialist researchers. The effort is sponsored by the British Library, the National Electronic Library of Health, the Joint Information Systems Committee and Resource, the council for museums, archives and libraries. To date, the CIE has created two demonstration projects that illustrate the organization's premise: one is for location-based information and the other for health. The project is now working on additional projects, but must deal with copyright issues while underway. "Digital rights management is a big issue," says Miller, who adds that the solution is for public organizations to move more aggressively to procure content for use across different domains.

So when eWEEK Corporate Partner Ed Benincasa shared his desire to perform a user-based comparison between the OpenOffice.org project's OpenOffice.org suite and Microsoft's Office 2003, we saw a perfect opportunity to compare the suites under real-world conditions. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:10 AM Innovation Network http://www.innonet.org/ They provide program planning and evaluation consulting, training, and Web-based evaluation tools to nonprofits and funders across geographic and programmatic boundaries. They want to make evaluation accessible to all nonprofits, so they have the knowledge and skills to: * Manage their internal matters, programs, and services effectively; * Gain a stronger understanding of what is happening in their programs, and how those programs are affecting people and communities; and * Collectively raise a strong voice in funding and policy decisions. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:05 AM W3C Math Activity Launched http://www.w3.org/Math/ W3C is pleased to announce the relaunch of the Math Activity.

This will be added to Healthcare Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide and has been added to Healthcare Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:20 AM The Semantic Grid http://www.semanticgrid.org/ e-Science offers a promising vision of how computer and communication technology can support and enhance the scientific process. It does this by enabling scientists to generate, analyse, share and discuss their insights, experiments and results in a more effective manner. The underlying computer infrastructure that provides these facilities is commonly referred to as the Grid. At this time, there are a number of grid applications being developed and there is a whole raft of computer technologies that provide fragments of the necessary functionality. However there is currently a major gap between these endeavours and the vision of e-Science in which there is a high degree of easy-to-use and seamless automation and in which there are flexible collaborations and computations on a global scale. Our vision of the infrastructure that is needed to support the full richness of the e-Science vision draws on research and development in both the Grid and the Semantic Web, and adopts a service-oriented approach. We call it the Semantic Grid.

This site is maintained by the CENDI Secretariat. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog and will be added to Academic Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:05 AM Whatever Happened to Gopher? http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,62988,00.html Answer: the Gopher protocol developed in the 1990s at the University of Minnesota may have been eclipsed by the World Wide Web, but it's alive and kicking (even if somewhat underground). Floodgap.com shows that more than 250 active gopher servers are currently online (almost half of affiliated with American colleges and universities) and can be found on every continent but Africa and Antarctica. Gopher-enthusiast John Goerzen believes that gopher is an excellent alternative to PDA and smartphone Web browsers, and says: "Consider this example: Port-a-Goph, a gopher client in development for Palm OS. Cameron Kaiser wrote this in his spare time and got it working quickly on his own Palm," he said. "Contrast that with the state of Web browsing on handheld devices: Despite many years to improve them, I still regularly run across Web sites that simply do not render at all, or render so poorly that they are unusable." My LinkSeries Internet Guides were written in 1992 - 1994 that list all the gopher sites for academic research and were used in academic libraries around the world in search of scholarly information from the Internet. These have been replaced and updated with my latest 2004 Internet MiniGuides. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:00 AM Tuesday, April 27, 2004 SocialText - Enterprise Social Software http://www.socialtext.com/ Socialtext Workspace adapts wikis and weblogs for enterprise productivity and scale.

Members of this working group include key participants with expertise in Semantic Web-related research areas. It is the mission of the SDK WSMO working group to, through alignment between key European research projects in the Semantic Web Service area, further the development of Semantic Web Services and works toward further standardization in the area of Semantic Web Service languages and to work toward a common architecture and platform for Semantic Web Services. WSMO working group includes the WSML working group, which aims at developing a language called Web Service Modeling Language (WSML) that formalizes the Web Service Modeling Ontology (WSMO). This has been added to the Semantic Web Research section of Deep Web Research Information Blog. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:20 AM Personal Currency Assistant by XE.com http://www.xe.com/ At xe.com they have a simple mission statement: to facilitate the globalization of commerce. Early in 1995, when the company went by the name "Xenon Laboratories", they launched their flagship service, the Universal Currency Converter ® -- creating one of the web's very first useful dynamic sites. Since then, they have grown to become the world's favorite provider of Internet foreign exchange tools and services. Independent industry rankings consistently confirm that more people -- and websites -- use their wide variety of simple and powerful currency tools than any others. They are committed to continuing our role as leaders and innovators. They are always working to add new and powerful services to your old favorites. This will be added to International Trade Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide as well as to the Reference section of all Internet MiniGuides. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:15 AM Fourteen Percent of Internet Users No Longer Donload Music Files http://www.pewinternet.org/reports/toc.asp?Report=122 The recording industry campaign against those who download and swap music online has made an impact on several major fronts, but the number of Americans downloading music and sharing files online has increased, according to the most recent survey of the Pew Internet & American Life Project. The Project’s national phone survey of 1,371 adult Internet users conducted between February 3 and March 1, 2004 shows that 14% of online Americans say that at one time in their online lives they downloaded music files, but now they no longer do any downloading. That represents more than 17 million people. However, the number of people who say they download music files increased from an estimated 18 million to 23 million since the Project’s November-December 2003 survey. This increase is likely due to the combined effects of many people adopting new, paid download services and, in some cases, switching to lower-profile peer-to-peer file sharing applications. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:10 AM National Electronic Records Archive Project Underway http://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/spring_2004_archivist.html Just when you think you've got the hang of preserving the delicate papers of historic documents, along comes electronic parchment -- as fragile as the real thing because rapidly changing technologies can render its content as unreadable as crumbing paper records. What's a government archive to do with the electronic records of, say, active military folks who will need documentation in 30 years to claim veterans' benefits or Food & Drug Administration records that document adverse reactions to drugs -- long after today's hardware and software are replaced by unimaginable innovations? The U.S. National Archives & Records Administration is in the midst of a plan to archive millions -- billions -- of electronic government documents "so that anyone, anywhere, anytime, far into the future, can access these records with the technology in use then," says outgoing NARA director John W. Carlin. In addition to making a great leap forward in government archiving, he predicts the new products and processes will benefit other archivists -- including colleges and universities, libraries and archives, small businesses and large corporations. The first installment of an operational ERA is scheduled to be up and running in 2007. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:05 AM Nationwide Gravesite Locator http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/servlet/NGL_v1 Most of the 120 Department of Veterans Affairs' national cemeteries may be searched for burial locations. There are four cemeteries that have not completed their records. They include: Long Island; Los Angeles; Ft. Rosecrans; and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. Some interments, therefore, will not be listed. Arlington National Cemetery records are also available for interments that occurred after 1999. As more records are added to the database, more burial information will become available. Some state veterans cemeteries can also be searched.

Tips on Finding Manuscripts and Archival Material http://www.historians.org/Perspectives/Issues/2004/0403/0403pre1.cfm Yale University research archivist Judith Schiff says in an interview with AHA president-elect Jonathan Spence that "one of the most rewarding experiences for an archivist is to have an e-mail dialogue with a distant researcher, providing instruction so the researcher can independently find all of the relevant sources entered in an online database." In addition, Manuscripts and Archives staff members Diane Kaplan and William Massa, with the assistance of others, have developed an online tutorial for researchers that has become a model in the field: "Using Manuscripts and Archives: A Tutorial -- An Instructional Tool for Finding Manuscripts and Archival Material at Yale and Beyond."

With its $80 million budget and 800 employees, it issues about 3,000 briefs, reports, short issue papers and longer position papers per year. An arm of the Library of Congress, CRS is renowned for its non-partisanship and in-depth analysis, but it does not make its reports available to the public. However, it cannot prevent members of Congress from giving them out individually and some government agencies from posting reports they find relevant. Perhaps 1000 have become available on the web. This search looks into every* CRS report on the Web and only into CRS reports.

No one is yet providing a serious threat to Google, but these efforts represent a very serious presumption that the resources of the Internet are public, and that the public should have open access to them. Indexes can be set up on a small scale, or globally. They can be operated by corporations, individuals, or communities. This website is especially interested in global, community-level, grassroots, cooperative - distributed - systems. That's our bias - developing an index by the people, for the people, of the people, as it were. This is a place for people interested in building, designing, or just talking about open source Internet indexes, search engines and spiders and robots.

His proxy script searches the 6,000+ full text reviews of Booklist left behind when the ALA Web site was reorganized and therefore, not accessible through the ALA search engine. The ALA help desk and the Booklist site seem to be unaware of the presence of the reviews in the ALA archive and steer you to the print version (see related story on Peter's website).

The mod_oai project is generously funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Apache is an open-source Web server that is used by 63% - approximately 27 million - of the Websites in the world. The OAI-PMH is a protocol to selectively harvest from data repositories. The protocol has had a considerable impact in the field of digital libraries but it has yet to be embraced by the general Web community. The mod_oai project hopes to achieve such broader acceptance by making the power and efficiency of the OAI-PMH available to Web servers and Web crawlers. For example, the planned OAI-PMH interface to Apache Web servers should allow responding to requests to collect all files added or changed since a specified date, or all files that are of a specified MIME-type. The Apache Web server defines an extensible module format that allows specific functionality to be incorporated directly into the Web server. The mod_oai project will build such an Apache module that is able to respond to OAI-PMH requests pertaining to files made accessible by the Apache server. The mod_oai module will be developed under the GNU Public License (GPL) and distributed through sourceforge.net upon completion.

As one Wharton marketing professor says: "We can put each customer's order on a microchip, but as far as having a sense of what's inside making him tick," the answers remain elusive. He and others suggest that companies use both qualitative methods - such as data mining - and quantitative methods, ranging from "concept banks" to "brand communities" to customer advisory boards, always keeping in mind the cost effectiveness of these varied approaches. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:00 AM Friday, April 23, 2004 May 2004 Zillman Column - eCommerce Resources on the Internet http://virtualprivatelibrary.blogspot.com/eCommerce Resources.pdf http://www.zillmancolumns.com/ The May 2004 Zillman Column is now available and is titled eCommerce Resources on the Internet.

The IA Library was developed by Joanna Markel and Jeff Tang, two graduate students at the University of Michigan's School of Information. Chiara Fox, Austin Govella, and Peter Morville provided support and served as mentors. "Jeff and Joanna designed and built a fully-functional user interface and content management system for the Library. That's quite an accomplishment for a single-semester independent study project!" says AIfIA's president, Peter Morville. The IA Library's collection is still very much under development. We are adding new resources, particularly in languages other than English, to create a more well-rounded collection. In addition, AIfIA is actively seeking a volunteer Library Director to oversee the continued development of this important public service. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:20 AM SourceSeries™ Healthcare Internet Research Workshop http://SourceSeriesHealthcare.BlogSpot.com/ This professional one-day Healthcare Internet Research Workshop presented by Internet expert and guru Marcus P.

As of March 1, the Pew Internet & American Life Project finds that 68 million adult Americans log on via broadband either at home or work. Fully 48 million adult Americans have broadband connections at home. This is the first time the Project has tried to capture the total broadband universe and the relatively high figures suggest that broadband use is much greater than is widely presumed. Impatience with tiresomely slow dial-up connections seems to tip home users into the broadband column, and this impatience plays a larger role than price of service in home adoption. Broadband in the home is increasingly the norm for the wealthier and better educated in America, as well as long-time Internet users. But there is evidence that relatively novice Internet users are moving from dial-up to broadband more rapidly than before. Rural users lag in broadband adoption, and infrastructure availability is a reason for this. Here are some highlights from the Pew Internet Project’s February 2004 survey:1 - 55% of all adult Internet users – or 34% of all adult Americans – have access to high-speed Internet connections either at home or on the job. - 39% of adult Internet users – or 24% of all adult Americans – have high-speed access at home, an increase of 60% since March 2003. - A surge in subscription to DSL high-speed Internet connections, which has more than doubled since March 2003, is largely behind the growth in broadband at home. - DSL now has a 42% share of the home broadband market, up from 28% in March 2003. - For the first time, more than half (52%) of a key demographic group – college educated people age 35 and younger – has broadband connections at home. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:15 AM Turning the Pages http://www.bl.uk/collections/treasures/digitisation1.html Discover the British Library's award winning system - Turning the Pages.

However in recent years, this label has been removed, and managers and employees are now discovering the real value of knowledge and knowledge management to their organisations. Globalisation and the spread of multinational organisations are demanding the use of cross cultural management and working practices across several language groups. This leads to the question of whether knowledge management should be practiced in the same way across nations. This project aims to investigate, by the use of a conversational study and questionnaire, whether differences exist in the opinions of knowledge management across two specific language groups: French and English. The hypothesis that language affects thought is discussed with a view to linking the language spoken to differences in opinions held by an individual. The first outcome of the study was that the hypothesis 'language affects thought' was substantiated. Secondly, the hypothesis that differences exist in the opinions of French and English speakers in the field of knowledge management was unable to be confirmed as correct. A copy of the full report can be found here.

A former U.S. Secretary of Agriculture characterized agricultural trade as ?enigmatic, often inexplicable, always exasperating? and the most distorted segment of the global economy. Disagreements over trade in agriculture have been blamed in part for the recent breakdown of the World Trade Organization?s negotiations in Canc?n, Mexico and the less than ideal agreement produced during the Free Trade Area of the Americas negotiations in Miami Florida. Conducting legal research into international agricultural trade may appear as daunting as the subject itself. The topic involves aspects of international and domestic law including: intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations; treaties and agreements; dispute resolution; customs; tariffs; domestic trade law and policy; and, statistics. This guide aims to make researching international agricultural trade law less overwhelming by providing an introduction to the sources and methods involved in the research process.

That, at least, is what two researchers at the University of Cambridge in the UK hope their software will one day be used for. Roberto Cipolla and Duncan Robertson have developed a program that can match a photograph of a building to a database of images. ... The software can match two images even when they are taken at a different times of day, from different angles and with clutter such as pedestrians and vehicles in the way.

The idea is that the OMF will act as a sophisticated card catalog type of system for the numerous Open Source documentation projects that exist. The OMF offers a number of advantages over standard card catalog type systems, however. Chief among these is the fact that the OMF has been designed from the ground up to be completely open, standards based, and sharable. We will accomplish this by using pre-defined standards (XML and the Dublin Core description for metadata) and allowing all metadata generated to be accessed by anyone that wants it. Because the metadata itself is to be stored in XML files, anyone should be able to use it. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:20 AM Google PageRank Algorithm Explained by Harjot Kaleka http://www.isedb.com/news/index.php?t=print&id=796 PageRank is Google’s measure of importance assigned to a web page on a scale of 1 to 10.

I found that the list of URLs that it contained far exceeded my expectations; as well as containing sites that I already know to be valuable, it contained many, many more that I had not seen before. I expect to be using it on my next project in the coming months and believe that it will be an extremely valuable resource."

Brooks http://informationr.net/ir/9-3/paper180.html Abstract By Author: The culture of lay indexing has been created by the aggregation strategy employed by Web search engines such as Google. Meaning is constructed in this culture by harvesting semantic content from Web pages and using hyperlinks as a plebiscite for the most important Web pages. The characteristic tension of the culture of lay indexing is between genuine information and spam. Google's success requires maintaining the secrecy of its parsing algorithm despite the efforts of Web authors to gain advantage over the Googlebot. Legacy methods of asserting meaning such as the META keywords tag and Dublin Core are inappropriate in the lawless meaning space of the open Web. A writing guide is urged as a necessary aid for Web authors who must balance enhancing expression versus the use of technologies that limit the aggregation of their work. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:20 AM Mobile Research Forum (MRF) http://mrf.ecdc.info/index.php The Mobile Research Forum (MRF) is a knowledge repository for people involved in mobile communications research. The MRF is a site that links to high quality research papers and other reports, facilitating dissemination of research and in the process bringing together people interested in similar research questions. Areas of investigation include questions about mobile business models and economic changes, usage and development of mobile devices, roll out of networks and standardization, and social impact questions. Bringing together people in the mobile research community, the MRF acts as a knowledge repository containing articles, opinion pieces, numbers and diagrams, links and other resources. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:15 AM PubSub Link Ranks http://www.pubsub.com/linkranks/ Link ranks are the way of measuring the strength, persistence, and vitality of links appearing in weblogs. When PubSub reads a new weblog entry, they pull out any URIs they find and attach them to the entry in a separate field. This allows their users to include domain names or linked file types when creating subscriptions. From this set of URIs, it's easy to find the most popular domains. Link ranks take one more step and calculate scores for each linking site; domains are then scored based on the values of the sites that link to them. The theory is basically that these are the links you're most likely to click on, if you read a weblog at random. Unlike Google's PageRank system, link ranks are not iterative. Rather, they base link ranks on a simple formula that only looks at local links - links which are within one or two steps of any target site. Also, it's important to note that they only look at links which are in weblog entries - they don't read any of the other links on the page, like the side bars or blogrolls. The intent of this system is not to measure the strength of any particular domain, but rather the relative likelihood that you'd find and follow a link to that domain. As such, the links are what's really important, not the pages themselves. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:10 AM Open Archives Initiative Data Providers - Part I http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/OAI-DP-I.pdf Gerry McKiernan announced the availability of his latest eProfile column from the Library Hi Tech News V21 N3 (April 2004) 11-19 titled "OPen Archives Initiative Data Providers - Part I".

Berners-Lee, 48, was named the first winner of the world's largest technology award -- the Millennium Technology Prize -- by the Finnish Technology Award Foundation at a ceremony in the Finnish city of Espoo. Berners-Lee launched the World Wide Web in 1991 and gave the world easy access to information, revolutionizing the way it worked and communicated.
