The Indogermanisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch (Wikipedia) by the Jewish-Czech scholar Julius Pokorny was published in 1959. The work is now slightly outdated, especially as it was conservative even at the time Pokorny wrote it, ignoring the laryngeal theory, and hardly including any Tocharian or Anatolian material. But there exists no more modern and updated etymological dictionary of the Indo-European languages, so it is still of interest to scholars.
The challenge that the Yahoos and Microsofts of the world have is that they are still beholden to the older corporate model of the world, and tend to denigrate their user generated content as being so much fluff. Thus when the Web 2.0 explosion occurred,
The 2004 European Parliament (EP) elections were marked by continued decline in voter turnout and wide variation in turnout levels among the member states. The addition of 10 new members for the 2004 election results presents a unique opportunity to test established explanations of turnout in EP elections. The authors re-examine models developed from general participation studies and applied in earlier research on turnout in EP elections. The updated and revised analysis continues to point to the importance of both national and European Union—level influences in explaining EP election turnout. Thus, although the second-order model of European elections still holds considerable appeal, the increasing divergence of turnout patterns in 2004 and through time suggests that European issues may be important in some countries.
The Conference of European National Librarians (CENL) is a foundation under Dutch law with the aim of increasing and reinforcing the role of national libraries in Europe, in particular in respect of their responsibilities for maintaining the national cultural heritage and ensuring the accessibility of knowledge in that field. Members of CENL are the national librarians of all Member States of the Council of Europe. The conference currently consists of 48 members from 46 European countries. The European Commission has subsidised various CENL projects.

Statistics Explained is Eurostat's new way of publishing statistics on the internet. Its main purpose is to explain European statistics, by presenting data and pointing out what is interesting or surprising about them, with all the background needed for understanding them. The data discussed are recent, but not necessarily the very latest available. Statistics Explained offers deep and specific links to the most recent figures on Eurostat's website, as well as to metadata, additional information about the data such as definitions, methodological explanations, legal texts, etc. In this way, it can also serve as a portal to European data on any topic, even for specialists.
PROLEARN is a 'Network of Excellence' financed by the IST (Information Society Technology - Contract number 507310) programme of the European commission dealing with technology enhanced professional learning. Its mission is to bring together the most important research groups in the area of professional learning and training, as well as other key organisations and industrial partners, thus bridging the currently existing gap between research and education at universities and similar organisations and training and continuous education that is provided for and within companies.
PROLEARNs goal is to achieve a greater focus on questions of European importance and a better integration of research efforts. Therefore PROLEARN will initiate and improve cooperations between various actors of academia and industry in the area of technology enhanced learning. The project will particularly support multinational co-operation and will therefore form a new understanding of an open network within the research community.
