  • Metadata for Semantic and Social Applications
    etadata is a key aspect of our evolving infrastructure for information management, social computing, and scientific collaboration. DC-2008M will focus on metadata challenges, solutions, and innovation in initiatives and activities underlying semantic and social applications. Metadata is part of the fabric of social computing, which includes the use of wikis, blogs, and tagging for collaboration and participation. Metadata also underlies the development of semantic applications, and the Semantic Web — the representation and integration of multimedia knowledge structures on the basis of semantic models. These two trends flow together in applications such as Wikipedia, where authors collectively create structured information that can be extracted and used to enhance access to and use of information sources. Recent discussion has focused on how existing bibliographic standards can be expressed as Semantic Metadata for Web vocabularies to facilitate the ingration of library and cultural heritage data with other types of data. Harnessing the efforts of content providers and end-users to link, tag, edit, and describe their Semantic and information in interoperable ways (”participatory metadata”) is a key step towards providing knowledge environments that are scalable, self-correcting, and evolvable. Social Applications DC-2008 will explore conceptual and practical issues in the development and deployment of semantic and social applications to meet the needs of specific communities of practice. Edited by Jane Greenberg and Wolfgang Klas DC-2008

  • Using RSS to Spread Your Blog
    10_588486 ch04.qxd 3/4/05 11:33 AM Page 67 Chapter 4 Using RSS to Spread Your Blog In This Chapter ᮣ Understanding just what a blog is ᮣ Creating the blog and the feed ᮣ Using your RSS reader ᮣ Creating a blog using HTML ᮣ Maintaining your blog ᮣ Publicizing your blog with RSS hat’s a blog, after all? Blog, short for Web log, is just a Web site with Wa series of dated entries, with the most recent entry on top. Those entries can contain any type of content you want. Blogs typically include links to other sites and online articles with the blogger’s reactions and com- ments, but many blogs simply contain the blogger’s own ramblings. Unquestionably, the popularity of blogging has fueled the expansion of RSS feeds. According to Technorati, a company that offers a search engine for blogs in addition to market research services, about one-third of blogs have RSS feeds. Some people who maintain blogs are publishing an RSS feed with- out even knowing about it, because some of the blog Web sites automatically create feeds (more about how this happens shortly). If you think that blogs are only personal affairs, remember that Microsoft has hundreds of them, and businesses are using them more and more to keep employees, colleagues, and customersCOPYRIGHTED up to date. MATERIAL In this chapter, I give a quick overview of blogging and how to use RSS with your blog to gain more readers. If you want to start a blog, this chapter explains where to go next.

  • Introduction to Web 2.0 Technologies
    Introduction to Web 2.0 Joshua Stern, Ph.D. Introduction to Web 2.0 Technologies What is Web 2.0? Æ A simple explanation of Web 2.0 (3 minute video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LzQIUANnHc&feature=related Æ A complex explanation of Web 2.0 (5 minute video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsa5ZTRJQ5w&feature=related Æ An interesting, fast-paced video about Web.2.0 (4:30 minute video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g Web 2.0 is a term that describes the changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and Web design that aim to enhance creativity, secure information sharing, increase collaboration, and improve the functionality of the Web as we know it (Web 1.0). These have led to the development and evolution of Web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites (i.e. Facebook, MySpace), video sharing sites (i.e. YouTube), wikis, blogs, etc. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to any actual change in technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers and end- users utilize the Web. Web 2.0 is a catch-all term used to describe a variety of developments on the Web and a perceived shift in the way it is used. This shift can be characterized as the evolution of Web use from passive consumption of content to more active participation, creation and sharing. Web 2.0 Websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information.

  • Standardized Classification, Folksonomies, and Ontological Politics
    UCLA InterActions: UCLA Journal of Education and Information Studies Title Burning Down the Shelf: Standardized Classification, Folksonomies, and Ontological Politics Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/74p477pz Journal InterActions: UCLA Journal of Education and Information Studies, 4(1) ISSN 1548-3320 Author Lau, Andrew J. Publication Date 2008-02-08 DOI 10.5070/D441000621 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Colonialism has left its indelible mark on the world: cultures denied, traditions altered or erased, narratives ignored—all under the guise of noble, and perhaps sincere, intentions of spreading civility among “heathens” and the “wretched.” Power and authority have been assumed with little regard for the conquered as their voices have been disavowed, discounted as subhuman. Societal structures have been implemented as ideal solutions to the perceived inferiority of indigenous societal structures; language, culture, and traditions of a conqueror have been imposed on the conquered, an ontology imposed on another, despite cultural incongruence, and in consequence of power assumed by one over another. The colonized have been classified as the “others,” as “uncivilized,” as “ungodly in need of saving.” This has been the experience of China and Korea at the hands of Japan; the Philippines at the hands of Spain; India, Burma, and Singapore at the hands of Britain; and countless others throughout history. While the example of colonialism may be extreme as a metaphor for ontology, it still serves as a compelling metaphor; colonialism alludes to structures of power, as does an ontology imposing itself on another. In hindsight, history has revealed the terrors and consequences of colonialism, including loss of culture, loss of life, and loss of heritage.
