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.

Drupal@Harvard will consist of a website with forums, Drupal modules and extensions, discussions and news on topics of specific interest to Harvard Drupal users. Drupal@Harvard will also provide monthly seminars and summer workshops. This first seminar will be a technical overview of Drupal as a successful content management system and web application framework. Drupal is a large framework and it is known to have a steep learning curve. We will help you to get started and learn its potential.

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.

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.
