An XML Query Engine for Network-Bound Data Abstract XML has become the lingua franca for data exchange and integration across administrative and enterprise boundaries. Nearly all data providers are adding XML import or export capabilities, and standard XML Schemas and DTDs are being promoted for all types of data sharing. The ubiquity of XML has removed one of the major obstacles to integrating data from widely disparate sources –- namely, the heterogeneity of data formats. However, general-purpose integration of data across the wide area also requires a query processor that can query data sources on demand, receive streamed XML data from them, and combine and restructure the data into new XML output -- while providing good performance for both batch-oriented and ad-hoc, interactive queries.

  • The Learn@WU Learning Environment1
    The Learn@WU Learning Environment1 Georg Alberer, Peter Alberer, Thomas Enzi, Günther Ernst, Karin Mayrhofer, Gustaf Neumann, Robert Rieder, Bernd Simon Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration Department of Information Systems, New Media Augasse 2-6, A-1090 Vienna, Austria Abstract: This paper is an experience report describing the Learn@WU learning environment, which to our knowledge is one of the largest operational learning environments in higher education. The platform, which is entirely based on open source components, enjoys heavy usage by about 4,000 WU freshmen each year. At present, the learning environment supports 18 high-enrollment courses and contains more than 20,000 – mainly interactive – learning resources. The learning platform has reached a high level of user adoption and is among the top 20 web sites in Austria. This paper describes the overall project as well as the design principles and basic components of the platform. Finally, user adoption figures are presented and discussed. Keywords: E-Learning, Learning Environment, Learning Management, Experience Report 1 Introduction The Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration (German: Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, abbreviated WU) is one of the largest business schools worldwide. It has a total of more than 25,000 students, and more than 4,000 freshmen enrolled for the academic year starting in October 2002. Each semester, approximately 2,000 courses are offered at the WU. In the fall of 2002/2003, six new degree programs (Business Administration, International Business Administration, Economics, Business and Economics, Business Education and Information Systems) were introduced in parallel to replace the degree programs taught to date.

  • Weblog Resources
    FAQ: Weblog resources [Up: Robot Wisdom Weblog] [Robot Wisdom home page] Weblog resources FAQ Jorn Barger, September 1999 What is a weblog? A weblog (sometimes called a blog or a newspage or a filter) is a webpage where a weblogger (sometimes called a blogger, or a pre-surfer) 'logs' all the other webpages she finds interesting. The format is normally to add the newest entry at the top of the page, so that repeat visitors can catch up by simply reading down the page until they reach a link they saw on their last visit. (This causes some minor, unavoidable confusions when the logger comments on an earlier link that the visitor hasn't reached yet.) Wasn't the name 'weblog' already taken for server-logs/ http-logs/ usage-logs/ logfiles? Yeah, well... how many different names do they need, anyway??? (And if you can think of a better name than 'weblog', just start using it and see if it catches on. It's all Darwinian.) Where can I find a listing of weblogs? So many new ones are being started that no complete list exists. The most complete lists currently are: http://www.eatonweb.com/portal/index.shtml http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/WWW/Web_Logs/ You can add your own here: http://www.egroups.com/wdb? method=reportRows&listname=weblogs&tbl=1 http://www.robotwisdom.com/weblogs/ (1 of 8)6/20/2005 1:27:56 PM FAQ: Weblog resources Ranked by how often they're linked from other sites: http://beebo.org/metalog/ratings/ Which ones have updated most recently: http://www.linkwatcher.com/ and http:// subhonker2.userland.com/weblogMonitor/ A utility that creates a custom surfmenu of weblogs.
