Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2005 10:03:19 +0530 From: Farooque Shaheen <Farooque.Shaheen(a)caritor.com> Some Web visionaries have concocted a scheme to embed complete citation information in Web pages. Inspired by U.K. researcher Dan Chudnov and other innovators, Eric Hellman, Ross Singer, and others have invented COinS, which is short for ?ContextObject in Span.? (?Span? refers to the HTML tag used to embed COinS metadata.) The team has created a specification and defined it at http://ocoins.info. COinS seeks to address a fundamental problem: Imagine you are searching Google Scholar or a blog or a random Web site, and you find a citation to an article that is critical to your work. The article isn?t freely available on the Web, but it is syndicated to one or more full-text resources. You are affiliated with a company or a university that has licensed the journal for online delivery via a content aggregator. You just want to click on the citation and see the full text of the article; you don?t want to have to go to your library?s home page and start your search all over again. COinS is an attempt to address this problem. COinS allows content providers to publish sufficient metadata so that you can click on a hyperlink and (assuming your local institution has licensed a database that includes the journal in its collection) seamlessly download the full text of the article in question. The OpenURL standard defines a scheme to transport metadata about a cited work?author, title, etc.?over the Web. COinS defines a way for a Web content provider to embed bibliographic metadata into an HTML document. Last week, Openly Informatics announced an implementation of COinS as a plug-in to the Firefox browser. If a user visits a Web site that has a COinS-compliant citation, the plug-in allows the user to retrieve the relevant article from the locally licensed database with a click or two. The new plug-in is available at http://www.openly.com/openurlref and is compatible with Google Scholar.

Jayadev P Hiremath Tristana Reader 4.0 http://www.tristana.org/ Now that more and more websites offer a variety of dynamic materials (such as podcasts and the like), it is increasingly more common to feel a bit overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material on the Web. More discerning users will appreciate Tristana Reader 4.0, which will allow them pull content directly from the Web to their desktops. The application also allows users the ability to set preferences so that they will be alerted to content changes at any given site. The program is also spam-proof, which will be a welcome relief to many. This version of Tristana Reader is compatible with Windows 98 or newer. ZoneAlarm 6.0.631.003 http://www.zonelabs.com The Zone Alarm application was created to protect DSL-or cable-connected PCs from hackers, and this latest version contains four valuable security services. They include a firewall, an application control, an Internet lock, and zones. Working in tandem, these interlocking devices block Internet traffic while the computer is unattended and also monitor all activity on a given computer. This version of ZoneAlarm is compatible with Windows 98 or newer.

You can be part of the rapidly growing employment market in this area. You can use your subject knowledge (and also your experience, hobbies, passions, or pastimes) and learn to create high-value content, which ranks well at the Search Engines.
