Creative Commons RDF-Enhanced Search http://search.creativecommons.org/index.jsp This search engine will help you find photos, music, text, books, educational material, and more that is free to share or build upon. Copyright applies fully and automatically to any work. a photograph, a song, a web page, an article, pretty much any form of expression, the moment it is created. This means that if you want to copy and re-use a creative work you find online, you usually have to ask the author's permission. This "all rights reserved" protection is good thing for many authors and artists. But what about those who want you to use their work freely without permission -- but on certain conditions? This search engine helps you quickly find those authors and the work they have marked as free to use with only "some rights reserved." If you respect the rights they have reserved (which will be clearly marked, as you'll see) then you can use the work without having to contact them and ask. In some cases, you may even find work in the public domain -- that is, free for any use with "no rights reserved."

Conceptual Graphs http://www.cs.uah.edu/~delugach/CG/ Conceptual graphs (CGs) are a system of logic based on the existential graphs of Charles Sanders Peirce and the semantic networks of artificial intelligence. They express meaning in a form that is logically precise, humanly readable, and computationally tractable. With their direct mapping to language, conceptual graphs serve as an intermediate language for translating computer-oriented formalisms to and from natural languages. With their graphic representation, they serve as a readable, but formal design and specification language. CGs have been implemented in a variety of projects for information retrieval, database design, expert systems, and natural language processing.

Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) http://www.pacer.uscourts.gov/ Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) is an electronic public access service that allows users to obtain case and docket information from Federal Appellate, District and Bankruptcy courts, and the U.S. Party/Case Index via the Internet. Links to all courts are provided from this web site. Electronic access is available by registering with the PACER Service Center, the judiciary's centralized registration, billing, and technical support center. Each court maintains its own databases with case information. Because PACER database systems are maintained within each court, each jurisdiction will have a different URL. Accessing and querying information from each service is comparable; however, the format and content of information provided may differ slightly. PACER is a service of the United States Judiciary. The PACER Service Center is run by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

The 51st State: The State of Online - The Presidential Campaign 2008 — Candidates and News Sources http://www.infotoday.com/searcher/nov07/index.shtml As Laura Gordon-Murnane illustrates in this in-depth article, the Internet is no longer like a third-party candidate, but is breathing down the proverbial necks of the mainstream media, threatening to usurp broadcast and print sources as the primary way people follow the election.

PogoFrog - Medical Search Engine for Physicians http://www.pogofrog.com/ PogoFrog.com, a Medical Search Engine for Physicians, was launched after extensive observation of physician web searching practices. Physicians use the internet regularly to research varied healthcare subjects. Studies have shown that physicians rarely find links to credible medical information on the first few pages of a keyword search when using the popular consumer search engines. In fact, they often must search through dozens of results pages before finding the credible medical information they need. The first several 27

Awareness Watch V6N1 January 2008 Newsletter http://www.AwarenessWatch.com/ [email protected] © 2008 Marcus P. Zillman, M.S., A.M.H.A. pages of results returned by consumer search engines often include links to attorneys, personal blogs or alternative medicine sites. Physicians must evaluate the credibility of these sites by a quick glance of the headings. PogoFrog.com is a custom search engine that jumps over these layman-focused sites and returns only credible medical site links on the first results page and on every results page. This is done by specifically excluding consumer sites and specifically including only credible healthcare sites such as FDA.gov, peer-review journal sites, association sites and others.

Microbial Genome Sequencing Program http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2008/nsf08511/nsf08511.htm As a collaborative, interagency effort, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture invite research proposals (i) to support high-throughput sequencing of the genomes of microorganisms (including viruses, bacteria, archaea, fungi, oomycetes, protists and agriculturally important nematodes) and (ii) to develop and implement strategies, tools and technologies to make currently available genome sequences more valuable to the user community. The availability of genome sequences provides the foundation for understanding how microorganisms function and live, and how they interact with their environments and with other organisms. The sequences are expected to be available to and used by a community of investigators to address issues of scientific and societal importance including: a) novel aspects of microbial biochemistry, physiology, metabolism, development and cellular biology; b) the diversity and the roles microorganisms play in complex ecosystems and in global geochemical cycles; c) the impact that microorganisms have on the productivity and sustainability of agriculture and natural resources (e.g., forestry, soil and water), and on the safety and quality of the nation's food supply; and d) the organization and evolution of microbial genomes, and the mechanisms of transmission, exchange and reshuffling of genetic information. A Microbial Genomics Workshop is held annually; all current awardees in this interagency program are expected to attend.

Factbites - Results Make Sense http://www.Factbites.com/ Factbites is a new approach to search. Under the slogan "where results make sense", Factbites provides searchers with full sentences about their search topic, rather than the sentence fragments most search engines offer. Rather than focusing on link-based technology like Google, Factbites delves into the tone and subject matter of the given topic. The engine "reads" the content of each page and determines how meaningful the text is. It seeks out authoritative and informative content, preferring encyclopedia-style fact-based descriptions to the chatty, spammy and inconsequential. The end result is a clean summary you can almost read from beginning to end. Not only is this an effective filter against spam and clutter, it's also a time saver, because it gives users a clear picture of what each destination site is about. For encyclopedia-style content, the site makes some large claims. The website challenges users to compare Factbites results to Google results at Factbites vs. Google.

Universal Digital Library (UDL) - Million Book Collection http://www.ulib.org/ The mission is to create a Universal Library which will foster creativity and free access to all human knowledge. As a first step in realizing this mission, it is proposed to create the Universal Library with a free-to-read, searchable collection of one million books, available to everyone over the Internet. Within 10 years, it is our expectation that the collection will grow to 10 Million books. The result will be a unique resource accessible to anyone in the world 24x7, without regard to nationality or socioeconomic background. One of the goals of the Universal Library is to provide support for full text indexing and searching based on OCR (optical character recognition) technologies where available. The availability of online search allows users to locate relevant information quickly and reliably thus enhancing student's success in their research endeavors. This 24x7 resource would also provide an excellent test bed for language processing research in areas such as machine translation, summarization, intelligent indexing, and information retrieval. It is our expectation that the Universal Library will be mirrored at several locations worldwide so as to protect the integrity and availability of the data. Several models for sustainability are being explored. Usability studies would also be conducted to ensure that the materials are easy to locate, navigate, and use. Appropriate metadata for navigation and management would also be created. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Volumes in the series comprise all or selected papers from acceptable conferences. For a conference/workshop to be acceptable for publication in

* Have a programme committee with international membership, comprised of recognised active researchers in the field, * Referee all submitted papers in full (although additional abstracts and posters can be included - they will be listed as such), * Be advertised and open to researchers internationally, * Have in place suitable quality control mechanisms that ensure that the quality of the papers included in the volume is acceptable. For conferences this will normally include an acceptance rate of at most 50%.

Conferences can consist of either all or selected papers and can be produced either in time to act as proceedings for the conference or as a post-conference volume.

Clonezilla - Open Source Clone System http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/ You're probably familiar with the popular proprietary commercial package Norton Ghost®, and its OpenSource counterpart, Partition Image. The problem with these software packages is that it takes a lot of time to massively clone systems to many computers. You've probably also heard of Symantec's solution to this problem, Symantec Ghost Corporate Edition® with multicasting. Well, now there is an OpenSource clone system (OCS) solution called Clonezilla with unicasting and multicasting! With DRBL and network boot enabled client computers, the only thing you have to prepare is a Clonezilla server. You do not even have to prepare a bootable CD or floppy with Partition Image for every client computer. Clonezilla, based on DRBL, Partition Image, ntfsclone, and udpcast, allows you can massively clone many (40 plus!) computers simultaneously. Clonezilla saves and restores only used blocks in the harddisk. This increases the clone effiency. At the NCHC's Classroom C, Clonezilla was used to clone 41 computers simultaneously. It took about 50 minutes to clone a 5.6 GBytes system image to all 41 computers via unicasting and only about 10 minutes via multicasting!

Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) http://www.iobis.org/ 13.7 million records of 80000 species from 238 databases .... OBIS was established by the Census of Marine Life program (www.coml.org). It is an evolving strategic alliance of people and organizations sharing a vision to make marine biogeographic data, from all over the world, freely available over the World Wide Web. It is not a project or program, and is not limited to data from CoML-related projects. Any organization, consortium, project or individual may contribute to OBIS. OBIS provides, on an ‘open access’ basis through the World Wide Web: a) taxonomically and geographically resolved data on marine life and the ocean environment; b) interoperability with similar databases; and c) software tools for data exploration and analysis. OBIS was one of the earliest Associate Members of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (www.gbif.org) which publishes data on all species. OBIS is a very active participant in GBIF activities, and one of the largest publishers of data to GBIF, reflecting its role as a specialist network for marine species. GBIF recommends that marine data are first published through OBIS, because OBIS can add special value (e.g. depth) and will manage the subsequent publication of data through GBIF. This also avoids duplication of data being separately published to GBIF and OBIS. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Internet Search Environment Number (ISEN) http://www.isen.org/ The Internet Search Environment Number (ISEN) is for researchers who find it difficult to locate and search relevant, evaluated online databases. The ISEN is the foundation of a portal that comprehensively catalogs the Internet's databases. Unlike Yahoo or Google and other portals that keyword index a portion of constantly changing web sites, ISEN focuses on the niche of cataloging databases. ISEN facilitates access and adds value by creating more effective and efficient Internet search experiences. ISEN is the foundation of a marketplace for information owners and vendors who desire more exposure of their information product to a broader range of Internet researchers. ISEN provides an auditing tool for organizations and individuals to find refined and structured resources that have been obscured by the rapid and overwhelming growth of web pages. ISEN provides a new proposed library standard for organizing databases that is historically overdue. The

Awareness Watch V6N1 January 2008 Newsletter http://www.AwarenessWatch.com/ [email protected] © 2008 Marcus P. Zillman, M.S., A.M.H.A. Internet Search Environment (ISE) is the primary concept behind the Internet Search Environment Number or ISEN. An ISE is a container of structured information that has its own search algorithm. Each database, search engine, knowledge base, digital library, institutional repository, OPAC & P2P environment and other types of search environments that currently exist or may exist in the future would be assigned an ISEN and be cataloged using taxonomic and folksonomic tags or metadata. The ISE is the number of these search environments that exist. This has been added to Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Awareness Watch™ Paper Review

Transliteracy: Crossing Divides by Sue Thomas, Chris Joseph, Jess Laccetti, Bruce Mason, Simon Mills, Simon Perril, Kate Pullinger http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2060

Abstract Transliteracy might provide a unifying perspective on what it means to be literate in the twenty-first century. It is not a new behavior but has only been identified as a working concept since the internet generated new ways of thinking about human communication. This article defines transliteracy as “the ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks” and opens the debate with examples from history, orality, philosophy, literature, and ethnography. We invite responses, expansion, and development.
