Since 2004, the Ranking Web is published two times (January & July) per year. This ranking has the largest coverage with more than 16,000 Higher Education Institutions worldwide listed in the Directory. Web presence measures the activity and visibility of the institutions and it is a good indicator of impact and prestige of universities. Rank summarizes the global performance of the University, provides information for candidate students and scholars, and reflects the commitment to the dissemination of scientific knowledge.
RAE 2008 can be criticised on several grounds but perhaps the most significant is that it is based on a view of universities that is 20 years out of date.
MathWorldTM is the web's most extensive mathematical resource, provided as a free service to the world's mathematics and internet communities as part of a commitment to education and educational outreach by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica.
Wolfram Alpha is like a cross between a research library, a graphing calculator, and a search engine. But does Wolfram Research's "computational knowledge engine," set to debut publicly later this month, live up to its hype as a Web site that Google needs to be afraid of? Wolfram Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram on Tuesday gave a demo of the service to a crowd of online reporters. Few have access to the private test version of the service itself, but we got access Monday night. We found it compelling, if limited. We're eager to see this site develop. It does things with online information that Google does not. Here are our impressions of the current version of Wolfram Alpha.
The GeoEye-1 satellite whizzes in low-Earth orbit, but when will it be taking photos over you? Alpha will show you on a map, in this case a 3D view of the globe that shows the satellite above Antarctica. It'll also tell you the satellite's 16,812-mph average velocity, its 428.4-mile altitude, and 98-minute orbital period. Photo by Stephen Shankland/CNET Caption by Stephen Shankland
WizIQ is a North Carolina based service (and Chandigarh in India?) brokering contact between learners who want to pay for on-line tuition and teachers who want to be paid to provide it. The interesting part comes when you start to browse the offerings cur
Das Portal "Wissenschaftliche Sammlungen" ist ein Projekt der Koordinierungsstelle für wissenschaftliche Universitätssammlungen in Deutschland in Kooperation mit den wissenschaftlichen Universitäts- und Hochschulsammlungen.
Gemeinsam realisieren wir eine Plattform, die über ein Webportal Informationen zu wissenschaftlichen Sammlungen, Aktivitäten und Akteuren sowie Metadaten und Digitalisate von Objekten sichtbar, recherchierbar und wissenschaftlich nutzbar macht. Die Daten werden über technische Schnittstellen in Standardformaten frei und offen abrufbar sein und in überregionale Nachweissysteme wie die Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek eingespeist.
Die Realisierung der Plattform wird vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung gefördert.
