...The Talis Connected Commons scheme is intended to directly support the publishing and reuse of Linked Data in the public domain by removing the costs associated with those activities.
The scheme is intended to support a wide range of different forms of data publishing. For example scientific researchers seeking to share their research data; dissemination of public domain data from a variety of different charitable, public sector or volunteer organizations; open data enthusiasts compiling data sets to be shared with the web community.
For qualifying data sets, Talis will provide, through the Talis Platform:
* Free hosting of up to 50 million RDF triples and 10Gb of content
* Access to data access services that operate on that data, including data retrieval and text search
* Free access to a public SPARQL endpoint for each dataset.
This means that data set providers will not incur any of the commercial costs normally associated with hosting data on the Talis Platform. In addition neither the data set provider or its users will incur any usage charges relating to the use of the Platform services made available on that data.
To qualify for entry into the scheme all data and content hosted in the Platform must be made available under one of the following public domain data licenses:
* Open Data Commons Public Domain Dedication and License
* Creative Commons CC0

...This project aims to develop an efficient rule based extractor of entries of references, located in scientific articles in English language. The application takes a pdf file or a directory of pdf and then returns an html file, containing the list of all entries with their respective title. Moreover the title of the article cited is searched through Google Web Service to get the URL that identifying the article on the web. If the URL provides on the page a Bibtex entry, this will appear in the html output under the relative entries, stolen from some typical site like citeseer, ieeexlpore etc. The application does not make search over pdf file based on images.

...CiteProc is a comprehensive solution for bibliographic and citation formatting. It consists of an easy-to-use XML citation style language (CSL), and the XSLT code to format documents based on them. In essence, it is designed to serve as an XML-based analog to BibTeX, but with dramatic improvements in ease-of-use, metadata flexibility, and international support.
CiteProc reads the source document for citation references and collects the corresponding records from an external bibliographic data store, and then formats the bibliography and citations according to specifications in the CSL file.

...Scientific innovation depends on finding, integrating, and re-using the products of previous research. Here we explore how recent developments in Web technology, particularly those related to the publication of data and metadata, might assist that process by providing semantic enhancements to journal articles within the mainstream process of scholarly journal publishing. We exemplify this by describing semantic enhancements we have made to a recent biomedical research article taken from PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, providing enrichment to its content and increased access to datasets within it. These semantic enhancements include provision of live DOIs and hyperlinks; semantic markup of textual terms, with links to relevant third-party information resources; interactive figures; a re-orderable reference list; a document summary containing a study summary, a tag cloud, and a citation analysis; and two novel types of semantic enrichment: the first, a Supporting Claims Tooltip to permit “Citations in Context”, and the second, Tag Trees that bring together semantically related terms. 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/). The enhanced article, which is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0000228.x001 , presents a compelling existence proof of the possibilities of semantic publication. We hope the showcase of examples and ideas it contains, described in this paper, will excite the imaginations of researchers and publishers, stimulating them to explore the possibilities of semantic publishing for their own research articles, and thereby break down present barriers to the discovery and re-use of information within traditional modes of scholarly communication.

...The Economics of Open Access Publishing
Open Access Publishing is the free distribution of research, whether it is as a pre-print (working paper) or a peer-reviewed article. Since the creation of the web, more and more journal are choosing open access as their business model. One of them was recently Economic Analysis and Policy, published by the Economic Society of Australia (Queensland). To celebrate this, EAP has just published a special issue dedicated to the Economics of Open Access Publishing. Articles are written by economists discussing their experience with open access as well as by others involved in open access publishing. They cover the transition the publishing industry is currently undergoing, the surprisingly low cost of publishing an open access journal, the impact of open access and various open source aspects of the open access.

...Mathematical software has developed during the last twenty years to an established tool in mathematical research and education. Its importance is meanwhile comparable to that of mathematical literature. In contrast to the various systematic collections of mathematical literature, collections of mathematical software so far only exist in a rudimentary manner. In order to make the existing resources more visible and to use them efficiently, it is indispensable to provide appropriate methods and tools for locating, cataloguing, reviewing, and searching of mathematical software. The intention of the Oberwolfach References on Mathematical Software (ORMS) project is to initiate the developement of a permanent provider of infrastructure.

In order to open published scholarly content for the first time to free, full-text interpublisher searchability, a group of 29 leading journal publishers are participating in a CrossRef Search Pilot.
Through a special, reciprocal arrangement between Google and CrossRef, this Pilot launches a typical Google search but filters the result set to the scholarly research content from participating publishers, with the intent of reducing the noise produced by general web searches.
Google has indexed the full text of scholarly journal articles on the publishers' websites through a CrossRef gateway. Users may submit searches from CrossRef Search Pilot boxes on participating publishers' sites. Results are returned from Google using the Google search and ranking algorithms, and using the article's DOI whenever possible to link from the search results to the published article.

...The Web is increasingly understood as a global information space consisting not just of linked documents, but also of linked data. More than just a vision, the Web of Data has been brought into being by the maturing of the Semantic Web technology stack, and by the publication of an increasing number of datasets according to the principles of Linked Data. Today, this emerging Web of Data includes data sets as extensive and diverse as DBpedia, Geonames, US Census, EuroStat, MusicBrainz, BBC Programmes, Flickr, DBLP, PubMed, UniProt, FOAF, SIOC, OpenCyc, UMBEL and Yago. The availability of these and many other data sets has paved the way for an increasing number of applications that build on Linked Data, support services designed to reduce the complexity of integrating heterogeneous data from distributed sources, as well as new business opportunities for start-up companies in this space.

* Grid API is a JavaScript-based API. It allows you to instantiate EditGrid's grid as a JavaScript object and add it to your web application. By doing so, you can wire your code with the grid, customize its functionality, and connect your application logic with it in great flexibility.
Besides the APIs, a lot of EditGrid features are developed with developers in mind, we support:
* JSONP Pure JavaScript approach to load spreadsheet data to your website without writing a single line of backend code.
* My Data Format Transform the spreadsheet XML export to any format through your custom stylesheet.
* Permalinks Allow you to retrieve data or access to export format right in the URL.

...Our vision is to empower students, scholars, and professionals in intelligent knowledge networks to share knowledge and make it globally visible, accessible, and ever expanding.
Background of Lalisio
The amount of knowledge increases every day, and with it the time and effort students, scholars, and professionals need to spend to find helpful materials or knowledgeable people with whom they can share, discuss, study, or research common points of interest. Due to the ever increasing amount of information, a great deal of valuable knowledge gets covered today and is ultimately lost.
Connecting Knowledge Worldwide
For this reason, Lalisio offers easy ways to find, share, and connect knowledge worldwide making it more accessible and supporting research and education worldwide. Lalisio connects knowledge-seeking people from around the world with a unique search engine for all relevant data sources, i.e. books, Open Access articles, and publications in renowned journals. Lalisio puts a particular focus on a user-friendly design of its services and allows for a high degree of adaptability of its services to individual user needs.
Lalisio is designing its services so that users are able to access them with personal computers as well as mobile devices – no matter whether they are at home, in a library, in a classroom, or in the office – they can use Lalisio to find answers to all kinds of questions. Lalisio integrates information, interaction, and information management, and is about community, content plus the valuable combination of both.
Discovering our Name
Lalisio is the Latin word for "little donkey". The term from the ancient language of scholars stresses our connection with academia. The image of the little donkey appealed to us since our network, similar to an intelligent and reliable donkey, can help you with transporting and delivering knowledge in a convenient and efficient manner. It allows you to reach the maximum effect with a minimal effort. With our sure-footed carrier of knowledge, you can optimize your academic research and studies. Let Lalisio do the work for you! All you need to do is use our services and then Lalisio will let rain gold for you just like Grimm`s gold-donkey.

Abstract
Background
Intricate maps of science have been created from citation data to visualize the structure of scientific activity. However, most scientific publications are now accessed online. Scholarly web portals record detailed log data at a scale that exceeds the number of all existing citations combined. Such log data is recorded immediately upon publication and keeps track of the sequences of user requests (clickstreams) that are issued by a variety of users across many different domains. Given these advantages of log datasets over citation data, we investigate whether they can produce high-resolution, more current maps of science.
Previous maps of the relationship between branches of modern science were done by mapping the citations among journal articles. These citations are footnot
...Previous maps of the relationship between branches of modern science were done by mapping the citations among journal articles. These citations are footnotes referencing previous articles on the same or related subjects. Citations are the equivalent links in a posting. They take you to the source. Citation indexes tally these links by subject. Mapping software can display the patterns of links. One example is below:

...Open Access and Global Participation in Science
James A. Evans1* and Jacob Reimer2
Previous investigations into the impact of open-access journals on subsequent citations confounded open and electronic access and failed to track availability over time. With new data, we separated these effects. We demonstrate that a journal receives a modest increase in citations when it comes online freely, but the jump is larger when it first comes online through commercial sources. This effect reverses for poor countries where free-access articles are much more likely to be cited. Together, findings suggest that free Internet access widens the circle of those who read and make use of scientists' investigations.

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.

16-18 February 2009 - Milan, Italy
The conference is a tribute to the memory of Gian-Carlo Rota, one of the most influential mathematicians of the second half of the 20th century, a founder of modern Combinatorics, and a developer of the philosophical line of thought rooted in the research of Husserl, Heidegger, and Ortega y Gasset.
Gian-Carlo Rota's intellectual footprint lies at the crossroads between modern mathematics, phenomenology, and advanced computer science. His legacy is still fostering innovative research in multiple fields.
Gian-Carlo Rota's activity both in the US and in Europe (with a special attention to Italy) established a strong link between research communities on different sides of the Atlantic whose effects are still felt to these days.

...biblatex
Bibliographies in LaTeX using BibTeX for sorting only.
The biblatex package is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX in conjunction with BibTeX. It redesigns the way in which LaTeX interacts with BibTeX at a fairly fundamental level. With biblatex, BibTeX is only used to sort the bibliography and to generate labels. Instead of being implemented in BibTeX's style files, the formatting of the bibliography is entirely controlled by TeX macros. Good working knowledge in LaTeX should be sufficient to design new bibliography and citation styles — there is no need to learn BibTeX’s postfix stack language. Just like the bibliography styles, all citation commands may be freely (re)defined.
The package needs e-TeX, and uses the author’s etoolbox package.
Apart from the features unique to biblatex, the package also incorporates core features of the following packages: babelbib, bibtopic, bibunits, chapterbib, cite, inlinebib, mlbib, multibib, splitbib. There are also some conceptual parallels to the natbib and amsrefs packages. The biblatex package supports split bibliographies, multiple bibliographies within one document, and separate lists of bibliographic shorthands. Bibliographies may be subdivided into parts (by chapter, by section, etc.) and/or segmented by topics (by type, by keyword, etc.). The package is fully localized and can interface with the babel package.
The author is Philipp Lehman. The package is Copyright © 2006-2007 Philipp Lehman.

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.

...The growing public perception is that PDF is too bulky and increasingly too opaque for the networked world. 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.

OUR GOALS:
The Basic Library List contains a list of books in the mathematical sciences recommended for college, high school, and public libraries. It is designed to provide students with introductory sources that might not be part of their curriculum; to provide reading material that is collateral to regular courses; to provide faculty with reference material that is relevant to their teaching; and to provide appropriate references for students in disciplines that use the mathematical sciences.
Originally issued in print form in 1965, 1976, and 1992, the Basic Library List is now being revised and updated by the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM). The version currently on-line is the 1992 edition, supplemented by full text search capabilities. Updates will be made regularly in the future.

...The Distributome Project is an open-source, open content-development project for exploring, discovering, learning and computational utilization of diverse probability distributions. Probability distributions are a special class of functions defined in terms of integrals of positive density functions. Distribution functions are very useful in representation, modeling and interpretation of various observable processes and natural phenomena. Probability densities are a non-negative functions that integrate to one over the real numbers. A probability density function can be seen as a smooth version of a frequency histogram.
The interactive Distributome graphical user interface provides the following core functions:
* visually traverse the space of all well-defined (named) distributions;
* explore the relations between different distributions;
* distribution search by keyword, property and type;
* obtain qualitative (e.g., analytic form of density function) and quantitative (e.g., critical and probability values) information about each distribution;
* discover references and additional distribution resources.
This project was initiated in 2008 by the UAH Virtual Laboratories in Probability and Statistics, the UCLA Statistics Online Computational Resource and the OSU Mathematical Biosciences Institute

...Xstructure is a service for browsing and searching papers in arxiv.org
Among the features of this service are:
* Automated generation of hierarchical classification scheme for the papers. The scheme results from classification of the papers in the arxiv database. The only input for the classification is the citation graph. The number of the levels in the hierarchy and the number of the clusters is determined by the algorithm. The algorithm creates the classification scheme, and indexes the papers by the created classification;
* The classification is used to index the new papers. We plan to rebuild the classification scheme regularly. In this way, we will take into account that appearance of new papers may lead to emergence of new themes. Detection of new themes is one of our objectives;
* A number of extra attributes (e.g. Theme name, Authority and Review Articles, etc.) for the elements (themes) of the classification (see Help);
* Accessability of the classification in response to search requests via display options, e.g., display as Tree of Themes, and Refrerence (Citation) Tree.
About 10% of papers from arxiv are missed in our database. We work on decreasing this number.

...How is the indexing performed?
A: Indexing is the process of creating a Conceptual Fingerprint from a text. In Collexis, this automated indexing mechanism performs the following steps on the text: removing the stop words, normalizing the text, selecting concepts by comparison with the thesaurus, clustering the concepts and attaching a relative weight to the concepts by means of a set of algorithms and measuring the specificity, similarity and frequency of the concepts.
Back to Top
Q: How does Collexis generate its search results?
A: Collexis employs vector matching: comparing a search query with the Fingerprints from the records in a Collexion. The outcome is a very accurate and relevant list of content items and/or experts in the form of a list of records. There also exists the possibility of over-specifying a query (i.e., using a considerable piece of text), thus adding context to the query. This context will help the system to improve the accuracy of the query and return references to those content items that are contextually related. The system administrator can enlarge or reduce the set of returned documents by entering a threshold that indicates the minimum “distance” between the records returned and the query. Matching of a search query with Collexion records can be performed on multiple Collexions at the same time.
Back to Top
Q: What makes Collexis different?
A: Initially, Collexis differentiates itself from full-text search engines by making use of thesauri for information retrieval. The high-quality search is based on semantics that have been defined in a thesaurus or ontology: synonymous terms and terms in different languages are linked to a single concept. Hierarchical relations between concepts, links between definitions and terms, and other semantic relationships are utilized in the search applications. This process helps to highlight those terms most relevant to the searcher’s query.

...Collexis High Definition Search enables fast, accurate and extraordinary knowledge retrieval and discovery quickly and accurately by utilizing fingerprinting technology. The Collexis Fingerprint empowers users to identify and search for documents, experts, trends, and new discoveries more quickly, precisely – and thoroughly – than conventional search engines. For users, the savings in research dollars are extraordinary. High Definition Search positions Collexis as a world leader in the vital area of knowledge management and discovery software.

...UC Davis provides the front end for arXiv, which is maintained at Cornell University. Through it you can search and browse the arXiv collection of eprints and then link to the articles in arXiv.
ArXiv is an e-print service for the fields of physics, mathematics, non-linear science, computer science, and quantitative biology. It serves two functions: preserving the eprints for posterity and providing researchers open access to the eprints.
Researchers can submit articles to arXiv and update previously submitted articles. Articles are not peer-reviewed. They are added in order of receipt. However, arXiv will not add a paper if it does not fit into the arXiv mission to store and disseminate scholarly scientific research. Often these papers will be later published in scholarly journals.
ArXiv works well as a tool to monitor current research. It even has search options labeled "New", "Recent" and "Catchup." To keep up to date, you can also set up RSS feeds and/or email alerts to be notified about the newest articles in a field.

In order to interact with the platform, a component should know how to interact with at least a subset of the CDM. The model describes all the commonly used data that is dealt with in the platform, and therefore covers at least taxonomic names and concepts; literature references; authors; (type) specimen; structured descriptive data; and species related content of any kind like economic use or conservation status. Nearly all this data has already been described by existing or upcoming TDWG standards. Unfortunately, there are still major gaps in compatibility, so a new integrated data model has to be developed in order to quickly yield results.

Pilot project allows eBook users to order soft cover books through SpringerLink
MyCopy
Springer has launched MyCopy powered by SpringerLink, a pilot project to expand its services to eBook users.
What is MyCopy?
MyCopy allows a library’s registered patrons to order soft cover copies, for their personal use, of those Springer eBooks that the library has previously purchased. Initially, 11 selected libraries and research institutions in the USA and Canada take part in the pilot project with more test partners set to join in early 2009.
How does it work?
The MyCopy offer is currently valid for more than 11,000 eBooks out of a total of 29,00 Springer eBooks published since 2005. MyCopy books feature a full color cover while the book content itself is printed in black and white. They can be ordered by registered patrons at libraries that have previously purchased a Springer eBook collection. All MyCopy books are priced at $24.95 (including shipping and handling within the USA and Canada).

...unAPI is a tiny HTTP API for the few basic operations necessary to copy discrete, identified content from any kind of web application.
There are already many cool APIs and protocols for syndicating, searching, harvesting, and linking from diverse services on the web. They're great, and they're widely used, but they're all different, for different reasons. unAPI only provides the few basic operations necessary to perform simple clipboard-like copy of content objects across all sites. It can be quickly implemented, consistently used, and easily layered over other well-known APIs.

A rich internet application
Though browser-based, ‡biblios has a very rich user interface and takes advantage of JavaScript toolkits like YUI, ExtJS, Google Gears for local storage of bibliographic records.
Built-in metasearch
Much of cataloging consists of copy-cataloging and so ‡biblios ships with built-in metasearch capability using a web services layer built on the Pazpar2 federated search library. Users can set up and perform cross-database searches on any Z39.50 targets.
Built around library standards
The ‡biblios record editor currently supports MARC21/MARCXML records and utilizes a plugin architecture to easily allow expansion to other formats such as MODS, Dublin Core, etc.
Library Standards Compliant
Built in support for MARC21, MARCXML, Z39.50
Free and Open Source

...The FacetedDBLP search interface allows to search computer science publications in the DBLP collection starting from some keyword and shows the result set along with a set of facets, e.g., distinguishing publication years, authors, or conferences. It is the first large scale application that uses GrowBag graphs to create a computer science specific topic facet, with which a user can characterize the result set in terms of main research topics and filter it according to certain subtopics.
FacetedDBLP builds upon the DBLP++ data set which is an enhancement of DBLP (as of 2008-11-21) plus additional keywords and abstracts as available on public web pages. We have also corrected some of the links to electronic editions, which were broken in DBLP. A brief description of the GrowBag facet within FacetedDBLP can be found in our JCDL paper, a detailed description of the algorithm is available on the GrowBag project page.

December 7-8, 2007—This weekend, 30 open government advocates gathered to develop a set of principles of open government data. The meeting, held in Sebastopol, California, was designed to develop a more robust understanding of why open government data is essential to democracy.
The Internet is the public space of the modern world, and through it governments now have the opportunity to better understand the needs of their citizens and citizens may participate more fully in their government. Information becomes more valuable as it is shared, less valuable as it is hoarded. Open data promotes increased civil discourse, improved public welfare, and a more efficient use of public resources.
The group is offering a set of fundamental principles for open government data. By embracing the eight principles, governments of the world can become more effective, transparent, and relevant to our lives.

...The International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI) is a draft ISO Standard (ISO 27729) whose scope is the identification of Public Identities of parties: that is, the identities used publicly by parties involved throughout the media content industries in the creation, production, management, and content distribution chains.
The ISNI system uniquely identifies Public Identities across multiple fields of creative activity. The ISNI provides a tool for disambiguating Public Identities that might otherwise be confused.
ISNI is not intended to provide direct access to comprehensive information about a Public Identity but can provide links to other systems where such information is held.
What does it look like ?
An ISNI is made up of 16 decimal digits, the last one being a check character.
Example:
ISNI 1422 4586 3573 0476
Who can apply for an ISNI ?
An ISNI can be allocated to any entity that is or was either a natural person, a legal person, a fictional character, or a group of such entities, whether or not incorporated.
Further, ISNIs are assigned to the Public Identities of Parties that participe in the creation, production, management or distribution of cultural goods in the digital environment.
The two-ear theorem was developed and proved by Gary H. Meisters in 1975.

A true Klein bottle needs at least four dimensions; in other words, it can't be blown from glass. Two- and three-dimensional representations like this one exist to help us visualize the topology, but they are not completely faithful to the original shape. The surface cannot be built in two- or three-dimensional space without self-intersection, as shown here with the "handle" passing through the side of the surface.

This is the Jargon File, a comprehensive compendium of hacker slang illuminating many aspects of hackish tradition, folklore, and humor.
This document (the Jargon File) is in the public domain, to be freely used, shared, and modified. There are (by intention) no legal restraints on what you can do with it, but there are traditions about its proper use to which many hackers are quite strongly attached. Please extend the courtesy of proper citation when you quote the File, ideally with a version number, as it will change and grow over time. (Examples of appropriate citation form: “Jargon File 4.4.7” or “The on-line hacker Jargon File, version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003”.)
The Jargon File is a common heritage of the hacker culture. Over the years a number of individuals have volunteered considerable time to maintaining the File and been recognized by the net at large as editors of it. Editorial responsibilities include: to collate contributions and suggestions from others; to seek out corroborating information; to cross-reference related entries; to keep the file in a consistent format; and to announce and distribute updated versions periodically. Current volunteer editors include:

...Many scientists now manage the bulk of their bibliographic information electronically, thereby organizing their publications and citation material from digital libraries. However, a library has been described as “thought in cold storage,” and unfortunately many digital libraries can be cold, impersonal, isolated, and inaccessible places. In this Review, we discuss the current chilly state of digital libraries for the computational biologist, including PubMed, IEEE Xplore, the ACM digital library, ISI Web of Knowledge, Scopus, Citeseer, arXiv, DBLP, and Google Scholar. We illustrate the current process of using these libraries with a typical workflow, and highlight problems with managing data and metadata using URIs. We then examine a range of new applications such as Zotero, Mendeley, Mekentosj Papers, MyNCBI, CiteULike, Connotea, and HubMed that exploit the Web to make these digital libraries more personal, sociable, integrated, and accessible places. We conclude with how these applications may begin to help achieve a digital defrost, and discuss some of the issues that will help or hinder this in terms of making libraries on the Web warmer places in the future, becoming resources that are considerably more useful to both humans and machines.

How do you read papers?
Date:
Sunday, 02 Nov ember 2008
Working in science is as much about reading papers as it is about writing papers. There are usually two ways you can come across an interesting scientific paper:
+ Active Searching. Literature search on a particular topic
+ Passive Browsing. Scanning the literature in regular intervals for papers of interest
The focused active search is typically used when you collect information for a research project or write a paper or grant proposal. This is stuff for another blog post and can be better explained by a science librarian like Oliver Obst or Frank Norman. Now I want to talk about different ways to keep track of the current literature in your field. I would assume that most if not all people involved in science do this in one way or another, and I also think that many people are struggling with the best strategy (see Richard’s related post on this topic: Too many fish in the sea).

* Catalog Records
* Locally Cached Journals
* Digital Library Items
* Institutional Repository
* Institutional Bibliography
* Other Library Collections and Resources
VuFind is completely modular so you can implement just the basic system, or all of the components. And since it's open source, you can modify the modules to best fit your need or you can add new modules to extend your resource offerings.

We are developing a set of search result visualization principles, based on the premise that consistent, comprehensible visual displays built on meaningful and stable classifications will better support user understanding of search results.
1. Provide overviews of large sets of results (100-1000+)
2. Organize overviews around meaningful categories
3. Clarify and visualize category structure
4. Tightly couple category labels to result list
5. Ensure that the full category information is available
6. Support multiple types of categories and visual presentations
7. Use separate facets for each type of category
8. Arrange text for scanning/skimming
9. Visually encode quantitative attributes on a stable visual structure

...The time has come for libraries, too, to negotiate for rights to index full text
By Jonathan Rochkind -- Library Journal, 2/15/2007
The ability to search and receive results in more than one database through a single interface—or metasearch—is something many of our users want. Google Scholar—the search engine of specifically scholarly content—and library metasearch products like Ex Libris's MetaLib, Serials Solution's Central Search, WebFeat, and products based on MuseGlobal used by both academic and public libraries—are all a means of providing this functionality. At the university where I work, without very much local advertising, Google Scholar has become the largest single source of links to our link resolver product, illustrating how hungry users are for metasearch.

The call to "eat your own dog-food" is often heard in the Semantic Web research area. The motto encourages us to use the languages and tools that we are developing to support our own work and demonstrate convincing arguments for the introduction of explicit semantics.
The International Semantic Web and European Semantic Web Conference series have followed this maxim and published metadata describing the events. This metadata covers information about papers, schedules, attendees etc. Tools can then consume this information and provide services, such as intelligent scheduling or search, to conference attendees.

Copyright 2008, Brian D. Simboli. Used with permission.
In July 2008 Thomson Reuters added a new "citation mapping" tool to its Web of Science product. This tool, which is touted on the Web of Science (hereafter, WOS) search interface as a beta version, enables users to visualize the relationship between citing and cited references. The citation mapping tool is a welcome addition to WOS. Below I discuss how the tool works, offer some comments and suggestions about it, and conclude with some notes about future directions.
Persons interested in bibliographic visualization software may also find of interest HistCite, developed by Eugene Garfield, pioneer of cited/citing searching and analysis. For an overview of HistCite, see Herther (2007). This review will not compare the new citation mapping tool in WOS to the features of HistCite, but will reference the HistCite web page in a few places.

Professional librarians call it the "name authority problem." Assume that you could do perfect OCR scans of book indexes. After a few thousand names are collected from a couple dozen books, you might end up with JOHN SMITH, JACK SMITH, JOHN A. SMITH, JOHN ARTHUR SMITH, J.A. SMITH, JOHN SMITH, JR., J. ARTHUR SMITH. Which of these refer to the same person, and which are namesakes? To answer this question, all the names must be considered in context. Sometimes, various editions of Who's Who are needed for further research, or telephone listings on CD-ROM might be used to determine correct spelling.

You can use it in two ways
As a Firefox Add-on
The tabulator extension is a Firefox extension which allows Firefox to handle data as well as documents. Install it from the tabulator extension page
As a web application
The tabulator online version is a set of open source Javascript scripts ("AJAX") which can run in any web page to add data browsing. It currently runs with Firefox, (or as an Opera Widget) and requires Firefox preferences to be set -- see the tabulator help page or the sidebar on the right.
* First: configure Firefox
Before you try an online version:
1. Type into the main browser URI bar "about:config" and hit return to get to the config page.
2. Type codebase into the filter window
3. Double-click the line signed.applets.codebase_principal_support ... user set ... boolean .. false to change it to 'true'.
4. Go back to the tabulator, and try again. When the browser asks you whether to allow the script to access arbitrary web pages, agree. Check the "remember the answer this question" box.
The Tabulator is open source under the W3C software license.

The Berkeley Research Impact Initiative (BRII) supports faculty members who want to make their journal articles free to all readers immediately upon publication. An 18-month pilot program, BRII will subsidize, in various degrees, fees charged to authors who select open access or paid access publication. The pilot will also yield data that can be used to gauge faculty interest in — as well as the budgetary impacts of — these new modes of scholarly communication on the Berkeley campus.

...About WikiProfessional
Wikiprofessional's Concept Web Initiative is a global collaboration to innovate how knowledge is represented and expanded on the Internet.
The Internet embodies an enormous information space that continues to expand exponentially in page count but not proportionally in new knowledge. Redundancy of the same facts and opinions within a myriad of web-pages has artificially inflated the size of the Internet. To get a million search results on a query without the ability to separate redundancy of the same information from the incremental knowledge expansions on that query concept is highly inefficient. Within the Concept Web, information is converted to streamlined knowledge where redundancy and newness of idea expansion are properly represented.
In the Concept Web, knowledge representation and expansion is accomplished with the aid of two revolutionary technologies: Knowlet and a new professional Wiki.

The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a Digital Library portal for researchers in Astronomy and Physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant. The ADS maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 7.2 million records: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and arXiv e-prints. The main body of data in the ADS consists of bibliographic records, which are searchable through highly customizable query forms, and full-text scans of much of the astronomical literature which can be browsed or searched via our full-text search interface. Integrated in its databases, the ADS provides access and pointers to a wealth of external resources, including electronic articles, data catalogs and archives. We currently have links to over 7.9 million records maintained by our collaborators.

Free Redistributable Rich Data Sets
There are many sources to find out something about everything. Until now, there’s been no good place for you to find out everything about something.
The infochimps.org community is assembling and interconnecting the world's best repository for raw data -- a sort of giant free allmanac, with tables on everything you can put in a table. Built by data nerds, used by data nerds, it's a central source for the information you need to power the projects the world needs.
