Data visualization practitioners are a motley group, and while no two may look exactly alike, they all fall into one of 7 distinct categories. You think everyone who does interesting data…
Excellent opportunities for promoting information literacy are available when librarians become collaborators in integrative learning initiatives, such as Writing Across the Curriculum, the Freshman Year Experience, and Learning Communities. Examples of successful collaborations are given. It is noted that the most significant challenge that remains involves assessment of information literacy in these programs.
Maps, graphics, and geography of Greater Boston, Massachusetts.
Bostonography is at least a site for interesting visual representations of life and land in Greater Boston, and at best it exposes and explores the geographical sense of place in the city. It begins with maps but needn’t be confined to them. In addition to linking to existing designs the aim is to inspire the many brilliant and creative people around here to turn their talents toward their city. As a showcase of such efforts large and small, perhaps Bostonography can do its tiny part to help people better know their city, spur further exploration, instil civic pride, and build a sort of graphical visibility that promotes Boston as a cool city to the rest of the world.
The SIOC initiative (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities) aims to enable the integration of online community information. SIOC provides a Semantic Web ontology for representing rich data from the Social Web in RDF. It has recently achieved significant adoption through its usage in a variety of commercial and open-source software applications, and is commonly used in conjunction with the FOAF vocabulary for expressing personal profile and social networking information. By becoming a standard way for expressing user-generated content from such sites, SIOC enables new kinds of usage scenarios for online community site data, and allows innovative semantic applications to be built on top of the existing Social Web. The SIOC ontology was recently published as a W3C Member Submission, which was submitted by 16 organisations.

The Web is not a community: a huge impersonal city is a better metaphor. User-generated content (UGC) can be valuable (if edited), but chat rooms should be avoided because of participation inequality.

Open Innovation Challenges
In our Open Innovation Marketplace, we have Challenges in a wide variety of disciplines, from Business and Entrepreneurship to Engineering and Life Sciences
Solve any of our Challenges to win awards from $5,000 to $1,000,000. Challenges are posted by Seekers (corporations, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations) who are looking for your help with product development and other business and science problems.
You can use your knowledge and expertise to make a real difference. In addition to listing our Challenges by discipline, our Innovation Pavilions organize Challenges around specific causes or global issues:
* The Rockefeller Foundation
* Clean Tech and Renewable Energy
* Global Health
* Public Policy and Citizens in Action
Each Challenge has a significant cash award associated with it and Solvers have been earning money since 2001 - here's a list of our winning solvers.
This paper presents a critical review of some of the claims made for CoPs. It will address questions such as "Are CoPs really suitable for use in a business setting?" and "Can a CoP ever be truly virtual?"

Call for Contributions
SCooP aims at joining people from different fields, such as math, computer science, chemistry, physics, biology etc., who are interested in Community of Practice (CoPs). The workshop shall facilitate the exchange of experiences and implementations. In particular, to address questions such as:
* What are scientific or educational practices in educational and scientific communities?
* Can these practice be automatically detected/ collected/ or modeled?
* What are implementations for CoPs?
* Which features make these tools so attractive and how do they support (practices of) CoPs?
As promised, here are the materials from the workshop I gave out yesterday at LIFT 08 about Online Communities Design Patterns. The presentation as I’ve said before is still a work in progress since I’ve started it for Web2Expo Berlin last November, so they share quite a lot in common.
