DRTC Students Seminar
by drtc＠isibang.ac.in 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE DOCUMENTATION RESEARCH AND TRAINING CENTRE 8th Mile Mysore Road, Bangalore 560059 D.R.T.C. Seminar [Batch:2011-13] The Multimedia Semantic Web Abstract The evolution of libraries from clay-tablets to consortia has witnessed the evolution of knowledge preservation on papyrus leaves to books to e-Books and audio books and even audio-visual contents. Thus preservation of knowledge for posterity not only depends on text based materials but also several other multimedia formats. Also the retrieval of such knowledge plays an important role, since storage is not our only purpose, dissemination is equally important as preservation to the information seeker. The near future is not only text based but also will be containing information in various multimedia formats, especially in the graphical/ image format (what I believe). Thus, I am focussing mainly on the multimedia data (especially images) as well as textual data for the future semantic web in this seminar. In my seminar, I intend to elaborate the various processes involved in the information retrieval process from images to text and vice-versa. I will also elaborate the underlying processes and principle involved in the retrieval of such data. I have discussed the CBIR (Content Based Information Retrieval), how it works, how it can be implemented in our library and information science field, its working methodology, etc. also the need of taping the Latent Semantics so that the information retrieval is meaningful and is with the least noise to avoid redundancy. The implementation of SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) has also been discussed. Moreover I have incorporated some conceptual hypotheses on which I want to work in future and extend my research, to what I think is plausible as of now. Speaker: Mayukh Biswas Venue : DRTC Classroom, Date: 6th December, 2012 Time : 02:00 P.M. All are cordially invited.

Gmail users can now send files up to 10 GB

Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:36:58 +0530 From: Ragaavendra R <Ragaavendra_R(a)jubilantbiosys.com> Gmail users can now send files up to 10 GB from their Google Drive, announced Google on Wednesday. "Now with Drive, you can insert files up to 10GB - 400 times larger than what you can send as a traditional attachment. Also, because you're sending a file stored in the cloud, all your recipients will have access to the same, most-up-to-date version", wrote Gmail's product manager Phil Sharp, in a blog post. Gmail will also double-check that all your recipients have access to any files being sent. For instance, whenever you send a file from Drive that isn't shared with everyone, you'll be prompted with an option to change the file's sharing settings without leaving your email page. You can even paste Google Drive links directly into emails to share a file. You can also attach videos, PDF's, images, etc via this new option. Google has announced to roll out this file-sharing feature over the next few days. So, click on the Compose tool and start using it.

WSIS Knowledge Communities discussion on 'Is Open Access Only for Rich Countries?'
by Subbiah Arunachalam 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Message from Eve Grey "Is open access helping to reverse this global divide [in education and academic research] by increasing the exposure of developing country research? And what strategies are being used to achieve this goal? ... There are a number of questions that arise - most cogently, how has this focus on journals worked for the developing world? Often the rhetoric for supporting either green or gold OA has been the advantage in getting higher citation rates in the ISI. Is this what we should be aiming for? ... But also, should we be focusing on journals? If we step away from developing world practices, what are the real publishing needs that face us?" Eve Gray wrote the above section introducing the ongoing WSIS Knowledge Communities discussion on 'Is Open Access Only for Rich Countries?' The discussion will advance through the next weeks, focusing on the following issues: translation, co-production and increasing access to academic materials; importance of OA in producing and sharing of non-state-supported educational materials; OA in academia and the search for global prestige; the perverse impact of metrics and rankings; scholarly knowledge production, sharing and consumption challenges in developing countries. Please let us invite you to follow and participate in this crucial debate about open access, education and the developing world. Link to the debate: http://www.wsis-community.org/pg/forum/topic/586392/is-open-access-only-for… You can also participate in the discussion on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Open-Access-debates/356010021156418 Or tweet about it using the hashtag #developoa -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
