The document discusses various library discovery tools that aim to provide a single search interface for library collections, allowing users to search local resources as well as articles, books, and other materials from publishers and other libraries, though the tools often fail to fully deliver on the promise of discovery due to limitations in content coverage and indexing.
PDA's can be used effectively in classrooms to enhance learning. They offer portability, are cost-effective, and versatile. Special education programs have approved their use. PDA's can be used in elementary, middle, and high school levels. They have features for subjects like science, math, language arts, and social studies. For example, science programs allow students to graph data from experiments on topics like temperature and humidity. Overall, PDA's give students more access to educational tools and can improve motivation and grades.
This document discusses the implications of Web 2.0 technologies for learning and teaching. It defines Web 2.0 as technologies that facilitate sharing and social creation of knowledge through user interaction and participation. Some key Web 2.0 technologies discussed are wikis, blogs, and social networking sites. Wikis allow collaborative creation and editing of content while blogs are authored by an individual but can still foster discussion. The document explores how these tools can empower student-centered and collaborative learning when used for activities like joint research projects, reflective writing, and negotiating course content.
The document provides updates on various sports games and activities at Priam School over the past and upcoming week. It discusses results from games played by different year groups in sports like football, netball, hockey and rugby. It also lists the after school sports clubs happening that week, including activities like dance, gymnastics, basketball, table tennis, rugby and boxing.
The document lists various pasta and main meal dishes that will be served for lunch across three weeks. Dishes include penne pasta, spaghetti carbonara, macaroni cheese, tagliatelle with pesto and mushrooms, vegetarian options like lasagne and chilli non-carne, and traditional roast chicken or fish. Sides such as new potatoes, vegetables and salads are included each day.

Presentation at IGeLU 2014 Oxford. Shift view on relevance in discovery tools from system to user context.
The concept of relevance in retrieving information resources in discovery tools like Primo needs to be redefined. It should take into account the wider context of queries and retrieved items outside the central and local indexes. Content and relevance are inextricably interlinked. Relevance is only calculated for the isolated items in the indexed content. Many indexed items may have relevant connections to each other in the real world, but these are not visible within the system in any way. Starting point should be the customer’s full connected workflow instead of just the library’s collections. Linked Open Data appears to be a relevant approach. This presentation will give some real life use cases and try to give some tentative solutions.

Matrix and bubble charts could be used for visualization.
This document provides information about various visualization techniques including matrix charts, treemaps, and bubble charts. It also mentions visualization research platforms like Many Eyes and taxonomy. The techniques and platforms are tools that can be used to visually represent and explore data relationships and patterns.
Cataloguing and Indexing Group Scotland - 'Linked Data and the Semantic Web - what have libraries got to do with it?'
National Library of Scotland, June 17, 2011
http://www.slainte.org.uk/events/EvntShow.cfm?uEventID=2671
The document discusses the challenges of transitioning between different metadata schemas and standards such as MARC21, MARCXML, MODS, METS, EAD, AACR2 and RDA. It questions whether someone can easily distinguish between different metadata fields and classes, and expresses a wish that the person it's addressing was there to assist during these transitions between old and new standards that remove familiar comforts. It closes by lamenting the cataloging of the same books year after year.
This document discusses the characteristics of nail polish including color, trends, bottle design, chemicals used, popular brands, smell, thickness, usage period after opening, drying time, and removability. It also mentions the physical materials used in nail polish like the polish itself and cardboard packaging.
The document discusses the SwiftBox information system created in the early 2000s to replace multiple existing systems. SwiftBox used abstract concepts and unique identifiers defined in thesauri to link objects and define their types and attributes. Objects could have fields linked to concepts in thesauri and relations between objects were also defined using thesauri terms and relations like broader term. This allowed linking of data between databases using concepts, synonyms, and multilingual labels while keeping a decoupled backend and frontend.

The document provides guidance on designing an efficient dust collection system for a workshop. It discusses the importance of dust collection for health and safety reasons. The key steps outlined are: 1) determining the airflow needs of each machine branch line, 2) sizing the main trunk line, and 3) calculating the total static pressure to properly size the dust collector. Metal ducting is recommended over plastic due to its conductive properties which reduce fire and explosion risks from static electricity.
The document discusses using linked open data and linked data principles for libraries. It covers key concepts like URIs, RDF triples, ontologies and vocabularies. It then outlines options for libraries to both consume and publish linked data, such as enriching existing catalog data by linking to external sources, creating new information aggregates, and publishing library holdings and metadata as linked open data. Challenges include a lack of common identifiers, FRBRization of existing data, and the need for content curation and new technical systems to fully realize the benefits of linked open data for libraries.
IGeLU2009: Patrons’ Collective Intelligence and Communities of Practice: let ...Filipe Bento
University of Aveiro, Documentation Services (Library) presentation for IGeLU2009 Conference (http://igelu2009.org/about/programme/)
In a contemporary society where web 2.0 services are steadily growing in number both for functionalities offered and of users adopting them, it is important to examine which of these services are the core ones that should be offered by Libraries’ online services and how these affect Patrons’ routines. With PRIMO, Ex Libris brings to the resource discovery and delivery scenario some basic web 2.0 and social networking components that users, native consumers in most cases, expect to have as inherent functionalities. But are Libraries ready to be 2.0? The resulting folksonomy from social tagging does bring valuable benefits to the search and retrieval process and the communities of Patrons? Are there some caveats that we should be aware of? In this presentation, the authors look at these social tools and analyze their potential for promoting patrons’ collective intelligence and empowerment, applying it to Communities of Practice’s creation, identification and expansion, not overlooking some possible drawbacks that need to be tackled.
Introduction to digital libraries - definitions, examples, concepts and trend...Olaf Janssen
This presentation gives an introduction to digital libraries.
It first explores different defintions of the phrase "Digital Library".
It then looks at 11 real life examples of digital library websites (slides 44-112), including Europeana, Google Books, Flickr the Commons, Delpher, Wikisource, The Memory of the Netherlands and Project Gutenberg. Each of these DLs is assessed against five different criteria (concepts, properties)
- Content/User experience
- Cultural heritage domain (libraries, archives, museums, AV-institutions)
- Controlled / run by
- Content providing parties
- User involvement
Many references are made to Web2.0-concepts from Tim O'Reilly's article http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html
From these 11x5 = 55 datapoints 6 trend plots are drawn (slides 116-166) to show "what is hot" and "what is not" in the current DL-landscape. Key slide summarizing this = no 168
Finally, some strategies for content & brand distribution of DLs are being discussed (SEO, Wikipedia, social & ego networks) , as well as some financial trends in DLs
This presentation was given by Olaf Janssen (National Library of the Netherlands - KB) as a lecture for students of the master's course "The Library" at Leiden University, most recently on 3-11-2016.
This document discusses Scratchpad virtual research environments for sharing, linking, and publishing biodiversity data. It notes that most biodiversity data is currently not in digital, openly accessible, or linked formats. Scratchpads are introduced as hosted websites for biodiversity data, which allow researchers to create virtual research platforms, publish data openly and flexibly. The document outlines the types of biodiversity data that can be incorporated into Scratchpads, including taxon pages, maps, images, literature, and matrices. It also summarizes the goals and funding of the ViBRANT project, which aims to develop a federated network of biodiversity informatics infrastructures through Scratchpads and other virtual research environments.
ALIAOnline Practical Linked (Open) Data for Libraries, Archives & MuseumsJon Voss
This document discusses practical applications of Linked Open Data (LOD) for libraries, archives, and museums. It describes how LOD allows these institutions to publish structured data on the web in ways that are interoperable and can be connected to other open datasets. Examples are given of how LOD is being used by various institutions to share metadata, images, and other cultural heritage assets on the web in open, machine-readable formats. The presenter argues that LOD represents a new paradigm that these cultural organizations should embrace to make their collections more accessible and useful on the web.
The document introduces the Cyc Foundation, which aims to provide free access to programs that can reason with and augment the sum of human knowledge, similarly to how the Wikimedia Foundation provides free access to human knowledge. It discusses the motivations and goals of the Cyc Foundation to build upon the existing Cyc knowledge base and commonsense reasoning capabilities through projects that extract implied relationships from text and further develop intelligent systems. The document outlines some of Cyc's history and assumptions behind the Cyc Foundation's strategy to accelerate progress toward more intelligent tools through continued development of Cyc and its knowledge base.
The document summarizes a webinar on May 18, 2011 about the future of integrated library systems and user interaction. The webinar featured four speakers discussing their projects focused on improving the user experience of library discovery systems. Jennifer Bowen presented on the eXtensible Catalog software being developed at the University of Rochester to give libraries more control over their metadata and interfaces. John Blyberg discussed the SOPAC library discovery system and its user-centered design. Allie Flanary and Anya Arnold then described the shared catalog system used by the Orbis Cascade Alliance and efforts to enhance it based on user research findings.
Libraries and Linked Data: Looking to the Future (3)ALATechSource
This document provides an overview of tools for linking data, vocabularies, and application programming. It discusses common types of entities to describe like people, places, concepts and events. It also lists vocabularies and ontologies for identifying these entities as well as tools for developing vocabularies and metadata. Finally, it outlines several programming tools and frameworks for working with semantic data, building applications, and querying datasets, including Apache Jena, Pellet, Snoggle and Virtuoso.

10 questions about open access to increase visibility and use of Southern perspectives for addressing global challenges. in: CLACSO-CODESRIA-IDEAs South-South Comparative Research Workshop. Dakar, Senegal, 24-25 July 2014 and Bangkok, Thailand, 3-8 November 2014.
Answering questions, solving problems, or achieving goals requires both knowledge and reasoning. Some of the required knowledge is about the specific domain in question, say banking or medicine or network security. Some of it is more general than that, such as knowledge about communicating or physical movement. And much of it is what we think of as common sense or world knowledge, like knowing that people can read books but books can’t read people, or that water flows downhill, or that things that happen later don’t cause things that happened earlier. And reasoning involves much more than just recalling already known facts. It includes combining knowledge to reach conclusions. Without a large base of knowledge and the means to reason efficiently with it, no system can be considered truly intelligent. Cyc enables the creation of powerful intelligent applications by providing 1) a very rich knowledge modeling language, 2) an unmatched corpus of formally modeled knowledge covering a diverse range of topics, and 3) an efficient inference engine that can quickly answer questions and reach conclusions using this knowledge.

What is #LODLAM?! Understanding linked open data in libraries, archives [and ...Alison Hitchens
This document provides an overview of linked open data (LOD) and the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and their applications in libraries, archives, and museums (LODLAM). It begins by defining linked data and how it extends standard web technologies to share structured data between computers. The document then discusses using structured, machine-readable data to describe resources like people, and how to structure this data using RDF. It provides examples of libraries and archives sharing controlled vocabularies, unique resources and holdings data as linked open data. The document concludes by reviewing current LODLAM projects and the potential for libraries and archives to both contribute and consume linked open data.
A presentation about aggregation and discovery issues presented to the ARL Fall Forum. It covers some issues prompted by the Share proposal. Considers metadata aggregation and the general move from 'strings to things' in general Internet services. Touches on linked data, metadata processing, user expectation. Concludes with some general issues to consider.
The document discusses how the online Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) database can be used to support innovation in undergraduate education. It provides an overview of EOL, including that it contains information on 1.9 million known species from authoritative sources. It also describes how students can contribute content by researching and writing brief summaries of high priority species. Hands-on activities are suggested, such as using the collection tool to group specimens or creating food webs using the Ecosystem Explorer.
Organizing Infoshop Libraries and Their Collections: Bringing the Community i...Nicole Pagowsky
The Progressive Librarians Guild - UA Chapter is working with the Dry River Collective to organize and catalog the infoshop library of books and zines. The document provides information on what an infoshop is, what types of materials can be found in an infoshop library including books, videos, periodicals, and zines. It also discusses how infoshop libraries are typically organized in a user-friendly and inclusive manner compared to traditional libraries, and presents options for cataloging and organizing the Dry River infoshop library using subject headings and a visual classification system.
The document discusses the importance of semantic contextualization in Europeana. It argues that Europeana is more than just an aggregation of digital objects and aims to enable knowledge generation about culture. It presents the DIKW/DIKT models to illustrate how data, information, and knowledge are related. Semantic contextualization in Europeana involves representing objects and their relationships using classes, properties, and embedding them in a linked open data architecture. This facilitates knowledge generation and even speculative thinking when interacting with Europeana.
Discovery and the Age of Insight: Walmart EIM Open House 2013Joe Lamantia
Discovery is the most important business capability in the emerging Age of Insight - it's the missing ingredient that makes Big Data a source of value for businesses and people.
The Language of Discovery is an essential tool for providing discovery capability, whether at the scale of designing a single discovery application, determining the value proposition of a new product or service, or managing a strategic portfolio of technology and business initiatives.
This presentation outlines the Age of Insight, and suggests deep structural and historic precedents visible in the Age of Reason, especially in the central parallels between Natural Philosophy and the emerging discipline of Data Science. We then review the language of discovery, and consider widely visible examples of products and services that demonstrate the language.
We review our own usage of the framework as an analytical and generative toolkit for providing discovery capability, and share best practices for employing this perspective across a variety of levels of need.

Primo at the University of Amsterdam - Technology vs. Real LifeLukas Koster
This document discusses Primo, a discovery tool used at the University of Amsterdam library. Primo provides a single search box for users to access the library's print and digital collections, as well as institutional and publisher resources, through a unified index. It harvests and indexes content from various sources, including the library catalog and databases, and stores metadata in a central index to enable discovery and delivery of information to users through a web-based interface. The document outlines Primo's technology architecture and goals of providing gateways to all information accessible by the library.
Library of Congress New Bibliographic Framework - What is it?Lukas Koster
The document discusses the Library of Congress' proposed Bibliographic Framework as a replacement for the current MARC cataloging standard. It outlines problems with MARC and describes how the new framework will use Linked Data principles and FRBR modeling to create globally shared bibliographic data and authority files accessed through URIs. The framework will link catalog records for works, expressions, manifestations, and holdings to create a web of interconnected library data.
The document discusses linking library catalog data to linked open data using RDA, FRBR and URIs. It provides an example of linking a library catalog record for a play to external data about productions and performances of that play. Challenges include lack of common identifiers, implicit vs explicit links, and issues with rights and multimedia objects. Linked data could help enrich catalog records by adding external relationships but requires unique identifiers and a shift from text strings to URIs for entities and relationships.
The document discusses the benefits of a unified discovery tool that allows searching across different data sources and formats. It aggregates content from various libraries and hosts it in the cloud to provide a single search box and user experience. The tool aims to make more information easily accessible through search and recommendations while still respecting the individual characteristics of different collections.
https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.11854758.v1
FRBR as a datamodel for bibliographic metadata focuses too much on traditional library content/publications. The model can be improved for linked data environments by making it a flexible networked model
This document discusses plans to link together data from the Theater Institute of the Netherlands (TIN) and the University of Amsterdam Library (UBA) using linked data principles. It proposes assigning URIs to entities in TIN's collection of plays, productions, and performances and representing the data in JSON. JavaScript would then be used to retrieve and display this information within UBA's online catalog. The goals are to prove the concept of linked data, convince these cultural heritage institutions to adopt it, and link their data by publishing it on the web in RDF. Challenges that could be addressed in the future include developing appropriate vocabularies, adding more URIs and relationships, and linking UBA's bibliographic metadata to TIN's
Lukas Koster works at the University of Amsterdam library coordinating library systems. He discusses the current state of Dutch libraries, including university, public, and special libraries. He is working on a linked open data project between the University of Amsterdam library, Theater Institute of the Netherlands, and the Digital Heritage Foundation to publish their metadata as linked open data. The goals are to set an example, prove the concept, and convince other institutions to publish their data. Initial steps involve creating URIs and JSON representations of data that can be retrieved and displayed to enrich records. Future work includes using vocabularies, publishing RDF, and linking the data.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

76. Assessment Outcomes
Two different use cases:
Research staff: one unified interface
General public: promote KNAW collections
Research staff :
Needed: Subject area prefilter
OR:
Just use Web of Science/Google Scholar, etc.
No real return on investment
No need for organisation-wide discovery tool right now

Hinweis der Redaktion
The short version of this presentation
Unknown knowns? To the end user? Known unknowns?
Discovery tools are designed to give lots of results, in order to show they have lots of records
http://www.theeuropeanlibrary.org/beta/discover
Time for national, thematic front ends
The Fiesole Collection Development Retreat Series The European University Institute (EUI) Villa La Fonte, San Domenico di Fiesole (Florence), Italy Fiesole (Florence), Italy April 12-14, 2012
Compared to federated search; using individual databases one at a time
Is it even so that it is time (for real) to loosen up the content of our isolated library system (for real) and let our data to interact with theoutside world data (for real)?
So…. Is implementing a discovery tool a defensive action undertaken by libraries, publishers, vendors to try to stop a specific threat to their existence? And will it be successful?
