Established in 1846 as a trust instrumentality of the United States, the Smithsonian has long been recognized for its pre-eminence in astrophysics, tropical and environmental biology, the history of science, aeronautics and space science, art history, natural history, anthropology, and the conservation of materials. The world's largest museum, education, and research complex, the Institution includes 16 museums and galleries and the National Zoological Park, which receive approximately 25 million visits each year. Objects, works of art, and specimens at the Smithsonian total about 139 million, of which 122 million are in the National Museum of Natural History's collections. As a leading center for studies in the sciences, the Institution has research facilities in eight states and the Republic of Panama. Research also is conducted in the museums and at field sites around the world. During the last fiscal year, the Institution marked its 150th anniversary. To celebrate that milestone, the Smithsonian generated a lively series of public programs that included exhibitions such as "America's Smithsonian," which traveled to six cities across the Nation during the past year, and "1846: Portrait of a Nation" at the National Portrait Gallery. In addition, on August 10-11, 1996, the Smithsonian welcomed more than half a million people to its birthday party on the National Mall. Management Improvements Public commemoration has been paralleled by internal consolidations that are consistent with strategic initiatives to improve operating processes, rationalize relationships between programmatic units and administrative functions, and increase electronic access to the Smithsonian's extraordinary information resources. The report of the Commission on the Future of the Smithsonian Institution, presented to the Board of Regents in May 1995, has provided a framework for these initiatives and for the strategic plan required under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). To help shape the Institution's planning, the Regents arranged the recommendations of the Commission into nine groups: governance, management, administration, financing, collections, research, exhibitions, education, and 1 electronic outreach. Examination of issues in each of these areas by various internal and external entities, including the Regents themselves, is progressing and is expected to lead to the timely submission of a single, Smithsonian-wide strategic plan, together with an initial performance plan, later this year. Those plans will incorporate objectives and anticipated outcomes of the • internal working groups that are analyzing elements of human resources management in order to develop a personnel system that will be more rational, equitable, and appropriate for all Smithsonian employees and for the kinds of activities in which the Institution is engaged • Regents' policy on prospective affiliations with other museums and related organizations • various issues surrounding collections, such as management policies, acquisition and growth, storage, conservation, and accessibility These matters, which are substantial concerns of the Institution, as well as of Congress with which we expect further consultation, are thoroughly entwined with one another because they deal directly with the prime resources of the Smithsonian: its staff and the collections with which it is entrusted. The organizational restructuring initiated by the Secretary in 1995 has continued. With the elimination of two assistant secretaries, offices have been reorganized under the Under Secretary into three directorates: operations, business advancement, and Institutional advancement. Through these directorates the Under Secretary oversees financial and administrative functions, business activities, the central revenue-generating operations of the Smithsonian, and its membership and development components. The Secretary will oversee future national fund-raising campaign efforts. The two assistant secretaries' offices and functions have been abolished. Finally, buy-out authority has enabled the Institution to reduce staff since FY 1994 without resorting to reductions in force, and will, most likely, lead to further consolidation of functions. The Smithsonian is rapidly applying the fruits of current and prospective information technology to its internal activities, as well as using that technology to reach people far beyond the Mall. Systems that will ease and refine the procurement process are being put in place, as is a new accounting system. Together, these will give Smithsonian management financial information in a timely manner and facilitate additional decentralization of administrative functions that will improve overall accountability and resource application. Related development and acquisition of budget, personnel, policy, and program databases will offer additional opportunities for improvement, while accelerated development of research and collections databases will enhance Institutional capabilities in those areas and provide other scholars and the public much greater accessibility to and information about the resources of the Smithsonian. FY 1998 Request For FY 1998, the Smithsonian's request for all operating and capital accounts totals $428.4 million, an increase of $57 million over the FY 1997 appropriation. Of this request, $334.6 million is for the Salaries and Expenses account; $58.0 million for the Construction account; $3.9 million for the Construction and Improvements, National Zoological Park account; and $32.0 million for the Repair and Restoration of Buildings account. Salaries and Expenses The Salaries and Expenses (S&E) request includes $10.4 million in increases for core needs to support the daily operations of the Institution. These increases are for necessary pay requirements; extraordinary inflation; utilities, communications, and postage costs; and space rental. These increases are beyond the Institution's control and account for approximately 59% of the total S&E increase requested for FY 1998. The request also includes a reduction of $0.8 million in non-recurring costs associated with anti-terrorism funding provided in FY 1997. In addition, the Smithsonian has identified priority program requirements for FY 1998 in three major areas: the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory submillimeter array operations, new facilities support, and collections information systems. The Institution requests 28 positions and $6.5 million for these requirements. Specific details on these activities are provided within the Salaries and Expenses section of this request. Capital Accounts The request for the Institution's capital accounts includes funding for Repair and Restoration of Buildings ($32.0 million) to achieve a balance between correcting the unacceptable condition of four of the older buildings at the Smithsonian and maintaining the current condition of other facilities through systematic renewal and repair. The Institution's Construction request ($58.0 million) addresses requirements to construct the Mall museum building of the National Museum of the American Indian. The FY 1998 request also includes funds for the Zoo's Construction and Improvements account for renovations, repairs, and improvements at Rock Creek and at the Conservation Research Center near Front Royal, Virginia ($3.9 million). Specific details of the capital accounts are provided within the applicable

Yet, we have much to gain by not exclusively positing social media platforms as a 21st-century phenomenon. Through case studies of two commercially sponsored web projects from the mid-1990s—Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab’s Day in the Life of Cyberspace and Rick Smolan’s 24 Hours in Cyberspace—this article examines how notions of social and publics were imagined and designed into the web at the start of the dot-com boom. In lieu of a discourse of versions, I draw on Lucy Suchman’s trope of configuration as an analytic tool for rethinking web historiography. By tracing how cultural imaginaries of the Internet as a public space are conjoined with technological artifacts (content management systems, templates, session tracking, and e-commerce platforms) and reconfigured over time, the discourses of “read-only publishing” and the “social media revolution” can be reframed not as exclusively oppositional logics, but rather, as mutually informing the design and development of today’s social, commercial, web.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

  • 8 Jorn Barger and Dave Winer: Self-Knowledge, Integrity, and Transcendentalism
    Weblogs 1994 – 2000: A Genealogy Rudolf Ammann A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Department of Information Studies University College London September 2012 [revised version of 8 May 2013] 2 I, Rudolf Ammann, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated. 3 Abstract Using extensive fieldwork in the online archival record, this thesis ac- counts for the descent and emergence of the weblog as a digital genre during its formative period up to the year 2000. The work examines the weblog’s process of genre formation as diffusion of innovation within a heterogeneous discourse network. It describes this process as a series of several consecutive and cumulative reinterpretations of the emerging genre’s form and intended purpose, effected for the most part by the most central actors in the network. 4 Acknowledgements This work owes a big debt of gratitude to Melissa Terras and Claire Warwick for their expert guidance. At various points, Matthew Kirschenbaum, David Nicholas, Julianne Nyhan and Mike Thelwall provided valuable assistance as well. Anonymous reviewers and delegates of the Hypertext 2009 and the Applications of Social Network Analysis 2010 conferences helped improve some of the materials presented in this thesis. This thesis benefited from correspondence with Jorn Barger, Mark Bernstein, Steve Bogart, Dan Gillmor, the late Chris Gulker, Robert Hooker, Dan Lyke, Pete Prodoehl, Scott Rosenberg, Edward Viel- metti, and Dave Winer, amongst many others. David Kornblith and Frank Bennett promptly and efficiently solved the problems caused by the excessive demands my work placed on Zotero’s citation handling.

  • Interop Trade Show, Carl Malamud‘S Internet 1996 Exposition, and the Politics of Internet Commercialization]
    Please do not cite or circulate without permission of the author Internet Commercialization and the Politics of Global Computer Networks Paper presented at MiT7 Unstable Platforms: The Promise and Peril of Transition, May 13-15, 2011, MIT. [Extracted from Master‘s Thesis: The World in the Network: The Interop Trade Show, Carl Malamud‘s Internet 1996 Exposition, and the Politics of Internet Commercialization] By most estimates, networked communications is at a critical juncture. In the U.S., debates focus on the need the shore up lagging broadband infrastructure and on the need to ensure that the so-called last mile of connectivity into homes and businesses. Globally, the situation appears more dramatic as countries and commercially operated platforms prove willing to ―switch off‖ the internet or severely limit its availability. One way to better understand these struggles is to return to an earlier chapter of Internet connectivity struggles. This study will examine the largely overlooked history of the ―Interop‖ computer-networking trade show, and argue that it would prove critical to the Internet‘s global physical expansion and commercial success. Assembled by a core group of former Arpanet researchers, Interop suggests that the success of the Internet as a global communications medium was not only a technical achievement, as is commonly framed, but also the result of organizational accomplishments. These activities helped the emerging network accommodate powerful commercial interests as well as the larger economic and technological forces sweeping the industrialized world. This study will also examine an affiliated ―global‖ trade show, the Internet 1996 World Exposition. Through that event, technologist Carl Malamud drew on the rhetoric of turn-of-the-century world‘s fairs to demonstrate the value of faster networks as well as argue for a conception of ―the commons‖ that could ideally be served by the rapidly privatizing Internet.
