Problem with the circulation of certain LIS-Forum mails
by franc＠library.iisc.ernet.in 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Dear Members, This is to bring to your attention that there is some technical problem with the mailman software (used by lis-forum) with respect to the distribution of postings/mails made from certain email ids. The problem is that postings made from certain emails ids, upon their approval, gets distributed only to those who have subscribed to lis-forum in the 'digest' mode. They do not reach the mail boxes of those who have subscribed to lis-forum in non-digest mode. Two such recent mails are: 1. Dr. IRM Goudar's mail with the subject, E-Content: Taxation and Regulatory Norms - Symposium approved last Saturday and archived copy accessible from http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2013-June/015148.html 2. Dr. Shalini Urs' mail dated 11 June with the subject, ICADL 2013-paper submission deadlines- just around the corner Approved 11 June, accessible from http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2013-June/015137.html The two messages listed above, would have been received by all the members who have subscribed to lis-forum in the 'digest' mode, but others who have subscribed in the non-digest mode would not have received. I'm not sure since how long the problem has been there but I'm sure that several of the approved messages are reaching only sub set of lis-forum subscribers. I'm looking into the problem but can't say for sure as to when the problem would be sorted out. In the meanwhile, pl do co-operate and do not have any sort of doubt about the lis-forum service, which has all along been unbiased and will continue to be so, always With best wishes, - Francis Moderator, LIS-Forum List JRD Library, IISc PS There are two modes of subscription to lis-forum - digest mode and non-digest mode A 'digest' mode is one wherein the subscribers get all the lis-forum mails in the digest form. A 'non-digest' mode is one wherein the subscribers get all the lis-forum mails individually. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Dear Members: On behalf of NCSI-Net Foundation(erstwhile NCSI-Net- an informal association of erstwhile NCSI staff and its alumni), I cordially invites you for the 8th Dr. T.B.

Archives and Publications Cell (Erstwhile NCSI Building), IISc, Bangalore - 560012 Abstract: Knowledge is increasingly characterized by diversity which results in complexities. Socio-cultural background and purposes attribute to knowledge diversity. There are also other factors such interdisciplinarity, environmental and temporal factors that contribute to diversity in knowledge. As an asset, diversity of knowledge could lead to projections of semantic correlations, bias and opinion mining. 'Living Knowledge' (LK) [EU FET project] considered diversity as an asset and aimed to make it traceable, understandable and exploitable, with the goal of improving navigation and searching in very large datasets. The aim was to study the effects of diversity and time on opinions and bias in socio-economic relevance, especially for seamless representation and exchange of information. Intuitive search and navigation tools (e.g. search engines) are needed to produce more insightful, better organized, aggregated and easier-to-understand output. The talk discusses analytico-synthetic approach in representing knowledge diversity. In particular presents its application in Media Content Analysis. About Speaker: Dr Devika is an Associate Professor at the Documentation Research and Training Centre of the Indian Statistical Institute and Adjunct faculty at the Department of Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Trento, Italy. She worked as a CO-PI on the research projects 'Living Knowledge' and 'AgInfra' funded by the European Commission.
