  • Generating Openmath Content Dictionaries from Wikidata
    Generating OpenMath Content Dictionaries from Wikidata Moritz Schubotz Dept. of Computer and Information Science, University of Konstanz, Box 76, 78464 Konstanz, Germany, [email protected] Abstract OpenMath content dictionaries are collections of mathematical sym- bols. Traditionally, content dictionaries are handcrafted by experts. The OpenMath specification requires a name and a textual description in English for each symbol in a dictionary. In our recently published MathML benchmark (MathMLBen), we represent mathematical for- mulae in Content MathML referring to Wikidata as the knowledge base for the grounding of the semantics. Based on this benchmark, we present an OpenMath content dictionary, which we generated auto- matically from Wikidata. Our Wikidata content dictionary consists of 330 entries. We used the 280 entries of the benchmark MathMLBen, as well as 50 entries that correspond to already existing items in the official OpenMath content dictionary entries. To create these items, we proposed the Wikidata property P5610. With this property, everyone can link OpenMath symbols and Wikidata items. By linking Wikidata and OpenMath data, the multilingual community maintained textual descriptions, references to Wikipedia articles, external links to other knowledge bases (such as the Wolfram Functions Site) are connected to the expert crafted OpenMath content dictionaries. Ultimately, these connections form a new content dictionary base. This provides multi- lingual background information for symbols in MathML formulae. 1 Introduction and Prior Works Traditionally, mathematical formulae occur in a textual or situational context. Human readers infer the meaning of formulae from their layout and the context. An essential task in mathematical information retrieval (MathIR) is to mimic parts of this process to automate MathIR tasks.

    February Arguing the law with Nicolaus Everardi 5, 2011 Posted by rechtsgeschiedenis under Digital editions | Tags: Bibliography,Digital libraries, Great Council of Malines, Legal history, Medieval law,Netherlands, Rare books In the early sixteenth century some changes become already visible in the way lawyers approached the law. Not only was there a growing interest in the history of Roman and canon law, but lawyers began to free themselves from the framework offered by these legal systems. One of the signs of this are the titles of legal treatises, the growth itself of this genre, and a more systematic approach of law. Nicolaus Everardi’s book on legal argumentation, his Topicorum seu de locis legalibus liber (Louvain 1516) is an example of this development. The book of this Dutch lawyer who presided the Court of Holland and the Great Council of Malines became almost a bestseller because of the reprints published everywhere in Europe. Printers in Bologna, Basel, Paris, Lyon, Strasbourg, Venice, Frankfurt am Main and Cologne printed this book until the mid-seventeenth century. I have found eight reprints of the first edition and eighteen of the second edition. On the blog of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Frühe Neuzeit Klaus Graf recently criticized sharply the new database Early Modern Thought Online (EMTO) of the Fernuniversität Hagen that enables you to search for editions of texts in the broad field of early modern philosophy and thought. The EMTO database notes in the search results the availability of online versions. In this respect Graf saw major shortcomings, because EMTO does not harvest its results from some of the major sources for early modern texts online.

  • Wikimedia Ulteriori Informazioni Contatti
    WIKISOURCE è una biblioteca online multilingue liberamente consultabile sul Web. Wikisource si chiamava in origine PROJECT SOURCEBERG nel corso della sua progettazione (un gioco di parole basato su "Project Gutenberg"); aveva inizialmente l'intento di separare l'enciclopedia Wikipedia dalle fonti delle voci che vi erano pubblicate. Il progetto prese il via il 24 novembre 2003. Il 6 dicembre dello stesso anno fu scelto al termine di una votazione il nome Wikisource. A fronte di un gran numero di nuovi utenti e di pagine pubblicate, il 23 luglio 2004 il progetto acquisì un proprio dominio presso http://wikisource.org. Seguendo le tracce di Wikipedia una successiva votazione terminata il 12 maggio 2005 promosse l'adozione di sottodomini per le edizioni in lingue distinte tra cui l'italiano, che assieme ad altre tredici lingue cominciò la propria attività il 23 agosto 2005. La caratteristica principale di questo progetto è di essere interamente scritto da volontari: chiunque può inserire un nuovo testo istantaneamente. Per quanto i testi siano di norma inseriti da un solo utente, più spesso la sua elaborazione è il frutto del lavoro di molte persone che contribuiscono migliorarne la presentazione e l'accuratezza. Il risultato è un perenne "lavoro in corso", che cresce sempre e tende sempre a migliorarsi. I bibliotecari di Wikisource hanno alle spalle storie molto diverse: sono studenti, insegnanti, esperti o semplici appassionati di libri e letture, ognuno dei quali contribuisce nel proprio campo d'interesse. Wikisource crede che ogni persona abbia il diritto di imparare, ma anche che ogni libro abbia qualcosa da insegnare e meriti la massima diffusione e considerazione.

Armstrongt Abstract This short essay surveys the state of open access to primary legal source materials (statutes,judicial opinions and the like) and legal scholarship. The ongoing digitization phenomenon (illustrated, although by no means typified, by massive scanning endeavors such as the Google Books project and the Library of Congress's efforts to digitize United States historical documents) has made a wealth of information, including legal information,freely available online, and a number of open-access collections of legal source materials have been created. Many of these collections, however, suffer from similar flaws: they devote too much effort to collecting case law rather than other authorities, they overemphasize recent works (especially those originally created in digitalform), they do not adequately hyperlink between related documents in the collection, their citatorfunctions are haphazard and rudimentary, and they do not enable easy user t Associate Professor of Law, University of Cincinnati College of Law.

  • National Librarian's Report, September 2020 (PDF)
    National Librarian and Chief Executive’s Report to the Board September 2020 LIBRARIAN’S KEY EVENTS SINCE JUNE 2020 On 11 August 2020 following five months of lockdown, the Library reopened to the public. Hidden Collections – Quarterly Update During this reporting period the Metadata & Maintenance Team have been concentrating efforts on providing metadata for the wider access Scottish electronic publications from the hidden collections. This work has been carried out by staff members working from home and 2445 have been catalogued. The hidden collection contains publications from a variety of organisations ranging from Healthcare Improvement Scotland and the Scottish Parliament to Scottish Environment Link. It includes a significant donation of publications from Scottish Natural Heritage, who have chosen to archive their publications with the Library. The electronic publications in this collection are a significant contribution to worldwide scientific knowledge and chart the changes in approach and attitude to environmental conservation from the 1970s to the present day. The Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament continued to deposit new electronic publications during lockdown, many of these present the Scottish Government’s response to Covid-19. These electronic publications are accessible through Library Search and are freely available to all, not only registered readers of the Library. The Team continued to build on the success of the House of Commons hidden collection and provided access to 42,869 nineteenth century House of Lords publications. As with the previous project this involved loading records for electronic items accessed from the United Kingdom Parliamentary Papers e-resource into the Library catalogue and adding the holdings for the physical items to the catalogue records for the electronic versions.

  • Building Arabic Corpora from Wikisource
    Building Arabic Corpora from Wikisource Imene Bensalem, Salim Chikhi Paolo Rosso SCAL team, MISC laboratory Natural Language Engineering Lab. – EliRF Constantine 2 University Universitat Politècnica de València Constantine, Algeria Valencia, Spain [email protected], [email protected] [email protected] Abstract—This paper describes a new tool that helps believe that the tool described here will save time and effort of extracting clean text from the Arabic Wikisource dump in order researchers during the process of Arabic corpora building. to build corpora. The tool purpose is illustrated by the generation of a subcorpus from Wikisource, which is a step towards the building of an evaluation corpus for Arabic intrinsic plagiarism detection. Keywords—Arabic Wikisource; tools for building corpora; intrinsic plagiarism detection I. INTRODUCTION Building corpora is a time consuming task especially if the source of text is noisy, or if the intended text has specific criteria (e.g. specific genres or topics). Generally, researchers develop tailored or ad hoc codes to compile or preprocess the target text ; by consequence no one else can benefit from their codes since they are developed without the intention to be shared. In fact, tools of building Arabic corpora, particularly, are very few. These are two examples that we found in literature: Khoja [1] developed a tool that helps creating corpora from RSS feeds of blogs ; Meftouh et al. [2] proposed a software that crawls Arabic web pages according to a list of keywords. II. WHAT IS WIKISOURCE ? Wikisource 1 is a free web library that contains public Fig. 1.

HANNIBAL TRAVIS* Google plans to digitize the books from five of the world's big- gest libraries into a keyword-searchable book-browsing library. Pub- lishers and many authors allege that this constitutes a massive piracy of their copyrights in books not yet in the public domain. But I argue that Google's book search capability may be a fair use for two inter- related reasons: it is unlikely to reduce the sales of printed books, and it promises to improve the marketing of books via an innovative book marketing platform featuring short previews. Books are an experi- ence good in economic parlance, or a product that must be consumed before full information about its contents and quality becomes availa- ble.
