It is typically used to answer the question “What are you doing right now?” + Wikis: A Wiki is a collaborative Web site guidebook with all content editable by the users themselves. The most famous is Wikipedia—the free online encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. + Forums: Online forums are Web sites that allow users to create strings of conversation about certain topics, each person adding to the information previously posted.

    MS Access Lab Topic: HTML Summary · Understanding Simple HTML Tags · Creating and Editing Your Own Web Page · Publishing Your Web Page 1. Understanding Simple HTML Tags Go to the website: http://www.gettingstarted.net We will be going through the HTML tags listed on the page as an introduction to hypertext markup language. Other HTML resources: http://www.htmlguild.com/resources/ http://www.ieor.berkeley.edu/~ieor170/ (“Related Links” link) 2. Creating and Editing Your Own Web Page There are a good number of HTML editors that we can use to create our web page: · Adobe Page Mill · Microsoft Front Page · Netscape Composer They are great because they help you in inserting HTML tags graphically and simplifying the more complicated tasks (such as specifying tables and frames). But with all things great, they come with a price. However, since the lab already has Microsoft Front Page installed, we will be using it for this lab. A Basic Web Page We will be creating a very basic web page that contains: · Horizontal lines · Images · Text Links · Image Links Go to Start à Programs à Microsoft FrontPage Text · Just type normally as you would with a text document. Converting text into text link · Highlight the text that you want to show up as a link to another web page. In the example (Figure 1) we highlighted the word “IEOR Department” and then clicked on the “Hyperlink” icon in the toolbar. In the “Create Hyperlink” dialog box, insert the Web address that you want the link to go to. In this example, we entered the IEOR Department’s web site (Figure 2).

  • Setting the Stage 1 of 19
    Setting the Stage 1 of 19 Setting the Stage Anne J. Gilliland Metadata, literally “data about data,” has become a widely used yet still frequently underspecified term that is understood in different ways by the diverse professional communities that design, create, describe, preserve, and use information systems and resources. It is a construct that has been around for as long as humans have been organizing information, albeit transparently in many cases, and today we create and interact with it in increasingly digital ways. For the past hundred years at least, the creation and management of metadata has primarily been the responsibility of information professionals engaged in cataloging, classification, and indexing; but as information resources are increasingly put online by the general public, metadata considerations are no longer solely the province of information professionals. Although metadata is arguably a much less familiar term among creators and consumers of networked digital content who are not information professionals per se, these same individuals are increasingly adept at creating, exploiting, and assessing user-contributed metadata such as Web page title tags, folksonomies, and social bookmarks. Schoolchildren and college students are taught in information literacy programs to look for metadata such as provenance and date information in order to ascertain the authoritativeness of information that they retrieve on the Web. Thus it has become more important than ever that not only information professionals but also other creators and users of digital content understand the critical roles of different types of metadata in ensuring accessible, authoritative, interoperable, scaleable, and preservable cultural heritage information and record-keeping systems.
