The project specifically addresses the many small cultural heritage institutions and content providers that want to actively participate and contribute to the European Digital Library initiative but lack both technical skills and financial resources to do so. To help content providers to make their valuable and rich resources available to a wider audience, our vision is to create a dispersed and networked information space, supported and sustained by a member network of autonomous content organisations which serves users with a special interest in nature and wildlife worldwide. http://www.sterna-net.eu/pitman2009-02-18T07:12:41+01:00bio network science semantic_web <span itemprop="description">STERNA (Semantic Web-based Thematic European Reference Network Application) is the contribution of twelve European natural history museums and other institutions that collect and hold content on biodiversity, wildlife and nature in general, to the objectives and realisation of a European Digital Library.

Here you can find my bibliographic information, that is, my personally managed bibliography. I am pretty interested in this area, because my current work in the ShaRef project aims at creating a tool for improving the ways in which researchers individually and collaboratively manage bibliographic information. The HTML pages used here have produced with ShaRef, so you might also be interested to give it a try...? My bibliographic information is available in the following forms: * HTML page. Heavily cross-linked (intra-page links and with the title and an author indices) and connected with all forms of external online information (URIs, DOIs, OpenURLs). However, the OpenURLs may be of limited use to you, because they point to the library server of my local university... * PDF printout. Generated by LaTeX from the BibTeX source. * BibTeX source. This is the source for the above representations. It will be replaced with an XML-based format in the long term, but the XML format is still a bit unstable (but go ahead and give it a try if you feel adventurous). * TeX2Unicode conversion tables. Here you'll find the character conversion tables we use to translate between BibTeX (i.e., LaTeX) characters and Unicode. You can get the conversion tables in various machine-readbale formats, so if you are looking for general LaTeX-to-Unicode character conversion, you might find this useful.http://dret.net/biblio/pitman2009-01-19T21:52:53+01:00bibliography semantic_web web xml <span itemprop="description">Welcome to my bibliography page.

This is because PDF’s have not kept up with the prevailing trends of transparency, findability, and collaboration. PDF is important as a container with certain rights & privileges (DigSig, Security, Markup, Forms), but the data inside a PDF is far more important. Currently, PDF’s are way too opaque, too bloated, and do not clearly convey value to most users. This is especially true on mobile (why would I chose to view PDF on mobile if not required by an enterprise I need to engage with?). For most enterprises and customers, PDF is a cloud of data more than a display standard. It’s value is no longer in consistent display of fonts and formatting. It’s in the data within the millions of PDF’s that the IRS has, for example. Even as a Forms front-end it’s difficult to see why Reader/Acrobat is a better solution than a robust customizable Flash interface. The Flash-based Portfolios feature is a step in this direction.http://www.urbeingrecorded.com/news/2009/01/12/how-to-keep-pdf-relevant-flash-and-semantics/pitman2009-01-13T00:37:47+01:00PDF flash format semantic_web <span itemprop="description">The growing public perception is that PDF is too bulky and increasingly too opaque for the networked world.
