Afghanistan is a nation of 30 million people, and a majority live in its 37,000 villages. But low literacy rate (38.2%) is the main obstacle in Afghanistan, most of the people who lived in rural area are not educated and they are only have focus on radio and TV broadcasting. So, the main purpose of this study is the rapid growth of media in Afghanistan after the Taliban regime, but most of those have uncertain future. Keywords: Traditional media; New media; Social media; Media law programs and also a huge number of publications, mobile Networks, press clubs, newspaper, magazines, news agencies and internet Introduction were appeared at the field of information and technology.

    TECTAS: Bridging the Gap Between Collaborative Tagging Systems and Structured Data by Seyyed Ali Moosavi B.Sc. in Computer Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Science in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Computer Science) The University Of British Columbia (Vancouver) October 2010 c Seyyed Ali Moosavi, 2010 Abstract Ontologies are core building block of the emerging semantic web, and taxonomies which contain class-subclass relationships between concepts are a key component of ontologies. A taxonomy that relates the tags in a collaborative tagging system, makes the collaborative tagging system’s underlying structure easier to understand. Automatic construction of taxonomies from various data sources such as text data and collaborative tagging systems has been an interesting topic in the field of data mining. This thesis introduces a new algorithm for building a taxonomy of keywords from tags in collaborative tagging systems. This algorithm is also capable of de- tecting has-a relationships between tags. Proposed method — the TECTAS algo- rithm — uses association rule mining to detect is-a relationships between tags and can be used in an automatic or semi-automatic framework. TECTAS algorithm is based on the hypothesis that users tend to assign both “child” and “parent” tags to a resource. Proposed method leverages association rule mining algorithms, bi-gram pruning using search engines, discovering relationships when pairs of tags have a common child, and lexico-syntactic patterns to detect meronyms. In addition to proposing the TECTAS algorithm, several experiments are re- ported using four real data sets — Del.icio.us, LibraryThing, CiteULike, and IMDb.

    Reading Indicators on the Social Networks Goodreads and Librarything and Their Impact on Amazon Nieves González-Fernández- Villavicencio (Sevilla)

    Reading indicators on the social networks Goodreads and LibraryThing and their impact on Amazon Nieves González-Fernández- Villavicencio (Sevilla) Summary: The aim of this paper is to identify relations between the most reviews and ratings books in Goodreads and LibraryThing, two of the most impacting social net- works of reading, and the list of top-selling titles in Amazon, the giant of the distribu- tion. After a description of both networks and study of their web impact, we have con- ducted an analysis of correlations in order to see the level of dependency between sta- tistical data they offer and the list of top-selling in Amazon. Only some slight evidences have been found. However there appears to be a strong or moderate correlation between the rest of the data, according to that we propose a battery of indicators to measure the book impact on reading. Keywords: Goodreads, LibraryThing, reading social networks, virtual reading clubs, reading indicators, Amazon 1 Epitexts, social reading networks and promotion of reading1 It is acknowledged that social media in general has become a way of com- municating to share a whole series of habits, behaviours and tastes, including reading and sharing books. This is the context in which Lluch et al. (2015: 798) deploy the concept of epitext and Jenkins’s notion of inter- active audiences, which are fostered by the social web and refer to groups of readers whose attention is focused on books and reading-related issues. «What we have are virtual identities for which it is equally important to keep abreast of the latest publishing releases and to exchange knowledge and opinions about books that they read, authors whom they like, themes and so forth» (Lluch et al., 2015: 798).
  • Social Cataloguing Sites: Features and Implications for Cataloguing Practice and the Public Library Catalogue

    Social Cataloguing Sites: Features and Implications for Cataloguing Practice and the Public Library Catalogue

    SOCIAL CATALOGUING SITES: FEATURES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR CATALOGUING PRACTICE AND THE PUBLIC LIBRARY CATALOGUE Louise F. Spiteri School of Information Management Dalhousie University Halifax, Nova Scotia. Canada Louise.HTU [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper examines and evaluates the social features and comprehensiveness of the catalogue records of 16 popular social cataloguing web sites to determine whether their social and cataloguing features could or should impact the design of library catalogue records. Selected monograph records were evaluated to determine the extent to which they contained the standard International Standard Bibliographic Description elements used in Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules-based cataloguing practice, with emphasis placed on the physical description of the records. The heuristics Communication, Identity, and Perception were used to evaluate the sites‘ social features. Although the bibliographic content of most of the catalogue records examined was poor when assessed by professional cataloguing practice, their social features can help make the library catalogue a lively community of interest where people can share their reading interests with one another. KEYWORDS: Cataloguing; Library catalogues; Social cataloguing; Social software; Tagging 40 INTRODUCTION The phenomenon of web-based social communities, such as Facebook and MySpace, and social bookmarking sites, such as Del.icio.us and Flickr, has increased greatly in popularity. Wikipedia, for example, lists 20 popular bookmarking sites, as of July 2008 (Wikipedia, 2008), and this number may likely continue to grow. More recently, we have seen the growth in popularity of social cataloguing communities, whose aims and objectives are to allow members to catalogue and share with each other items that they own, such as books, DVDs, audio CDs, and so forth, as well as to note items on their wish lists (i.e., what they would like to purchase or borrow, view, or read).
