  • A Wiki-Based Authoring Tool for Collaborative Development of Multimedial Documents
    MEDIA2MULT – A WIKI-BASED AUTHORING TOOL FOR COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIMEDIAL DOCUMENTS Author Name * Affiliation * Address * Author Name * Affiliation * Address * * Only for Final Camera-Ready Submission ABSTRACT media2mult is an extension for PmWiki developed at our university. It provides functionality for embedding various media files and script languages in wiki pages. Furthermore media2mult comes with a cross media publishing component that allows to convert arbitrary wiki page sequences to print-oriented formats like PDF. This article gives an overview over the offered extensions, their functionality and implementation concepts. KEYWORDS wiki, multimedia, cross-media-publishing, authoring tool, XML 1. INTRODUCTION At least since the founding of the free web encyclopedia Wikipedia and its increasing popularity wiki web , wiki-wiki or just wiki are widely known terms in context of Web 2.0. However, their exact meaning often remains unclear. Sometimes wiki and Wikipedia are actually used synonymously. The crucial functionality of every wiki system is the possibility to edit wiki web pages directly inside a browser by entering an easy to learn markup language. Thus, manual uploads of previously edited HTML files are superfluous here. The user doesn't even have to know anything about HTML or external HTML editors. The browser- and server-based concept makes it possible that several authors can edit and revise common documents without the necessity of exchanging independently written and updated versions. Because most wiki systems offer an integrated version management system, authors can easily merge their changes and revert selected passages to former stages. Thus, accidentally or deliberately applied changes of protected or publicly accessible wiki pages can be taken back in a second.

  • Webpage Ranking Algorithms Second Exam Report
    Webpage Ranking Algorithms Second Exam Report Grace Zhao Department of Computer Science Graduate Center, CUNY Exam Committee Professor Xiaowen Zhang, Mentor, College of Staten Island Professor Ted Brown, Queens College Professor Xiangdong Li, New York City College of Technology Initial version: March 8, 2015 Revision: May 1, 2015 1 Abstract The traditional link analysis algorithms exploit the context in- formation inherent in the hyperlink structure of the Web, with the premise being that a link from page A to page B denotes an endorse- ment of the quality of B. The exemplary PageRank algorithm weighs backlinks with a random surfer model; Kleinberg's HITS algorithm promotes the use of hubs and authorities over a base set; Lempel and Moran traverse this structure through their bipartite stochastic algo- rithm; Li examines the structure from head to tail, counting ballots over hypertext. Semantic Web and its inspired technologies bring new core factors into the ranking equation. While making continuous effort to improve the importance and relevancy of search results, Semantic ranking algorithms strive to improve the quality of search results: (1) The meaning of the search query; and (2) The relevancy of the result in relation to user's intention. The survey focuses on an overview of eight selected search ranking algorithms. 2 Contents 1 Introduction 4 2 Background 5 2.1 Core Concepts . 5 2.1.1 Search Engine . 5 2.1.2 Hyperlink Structure . 5 2.1.3 Search Query . 7 2.1.4 Web Graph . 7 2.1.5 Base Set of Webpages . 9 2.1.6 Semantic Web .
