28 May '12

INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE *Documentation Research Training Centre* 8th Mile Mysore Road Bangalore – 560059 DRTC Colloquium (4) 2011-2013 *Strong Semantic: Ontology* ABSTRACT Ontology is a formal, explicit specification of shared conceptualization. Having evolved from philosophical foundations, ontology can be defined as a “hierarchical structure that formally defines the semantic relationship of a set of concepts and is used to create structured, controlled vocabularies for the discovery or exchange of information.” In computer science, ontologies have emerged from the area of artificial intelligence as a way of representing domainknowledge. In the run to realize the Semantic Web, ontologies provide an impetus that would give rise to logical reasoning, knowledge engineering and applications development in order to make the metadata on the web more semantically enriched. Currently it is a hot topic of interest in the frontier research areasand its usefulness can be perceived in a great number of applications. The aim of this colloquium is to provide a brief knowledge on the recent trends of ontology development and ontologization engineering techniques. The various ontology languages for ontology creation and some popular application tools available will also be highlighted. *Facets * 1) Introduction by Subhashis Das 2) Ontology language by Sonali Kishore Kalani 3) Ontology Engineering Tools by Amit Kumar Shaw 4) Application of Ontology by Mayukh Biswas 5) Conclusion by Anurodh Kumar Sinha Venue: DRTC Classroom Date: 30th May, 2012 Time: 2.00pm All are cordially invited (Dr. M.

Functional Requirements namespaces published
by Rahul Hiremath 28 May '12

28 May '12

Functional Requirements namespaces published Namespaces for the Functional Requirements (FR) family of bibliographic metadata models have been published in Resource Description Framework (RDF), the basis of the Semantic Web. The models include Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD), and Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data (FRSAD). The namespaces can be accessed at http://iflastandards.info/ns/fr/. The FR element set vocabularies include RDF classes and properties corresponding to FR entities, attributes, and relationships. Each class and property has a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for use in Semantic Web data triples. A full de-referencing service is available for each URI. When used in an ordinary Web browser, the URI displays HTML pages with human-readable information about the element or concept. When used in a semantic browser, the URI retrieves machine-readable information in RDF/XML format. It is also possible to retrieve this format using an ordinary Web browser. For example, the URI for the FRBR entity-relationship (FRBRer) model’s Group 1 entity “Work” is http://iflastandards.info/ns/fr/frbr/frbrer/C1001. To retrieve the RDF/XML information in a normal Web browser, use http://iflastandards.info/ns/fr/frbr/frbrer/C1001.rdf; that is, add the file extension “.rdf” to the URI. Another example is the FRSAD attribute “has appellation”: the URI of the corresponding RDF property is http://iflastandards.info/ns/fr/frsad/P2003 and the RDF/XML file can be retrieved in a normal browser using the URL http://iflastandards.info/ns/fr/frsad/P2003.rdf. The element set for a specific FR model can be accessed as follows: * FRBRer: http://iflastandards.info/ns/fr/frbr/frbrer/ * FRAD: http://iflastandards.info/ns/fr/frad/ * FRSAD: http://iflastandards.info/ns/fr/frsad/ The FR namespaces are maintained and accessed using the Open Metadata Registry (http://metadataregistry.org/) These element sets reflect the current published models, however, as the FR family is in the process of being consolidated, this may result in the eventual deprecation of some URIs Namespaces for the Functional Requirements (FR) family of bibliographic metadata models have been published in Resource Description Framework (RDF), the basis of the Semantic Web.

Access2research
by Subbiah Arunachalam 27 May '12

27 May '12

Friends: Here is the full text of a conversation between Richard Poynder, the UK-based technology journalist and chronicler of developments in open access, and John Willinsky, a senior fellow in entrepreneurship at the Ewing Kauffman Foundation and a former head of Science Commons. Willinsky is one of the small group that traveled recently to Washington to meet with the folks at the Office of Science and Technology Policy to win their support for open access. The Wethepeople petition this group floated a few days ago to persuade the Obama administration has already been signed by more than 16,500 people. I request all members of LIS-Forum, OADL, IASLIC, ILA, IATLIS, and DELNET to sign the petition well before the deadline of 19 June. They may also publicize the petition among patrons of their libraries. After all this is a petition by the public from around the world. Subbiah Arunachalam Q&A with John Wilbanks. RP: There have been a number of petitions in support of Open Access in the past few years. What is new and different about the one you started on May 20th? JW: First, it wasn't just me — it wasMichael Carroll, Heather Joseph, Mike Rossner, too. Second, I think what's new is that we realised the debate had hit a ceiling. We can argue for the NIH policy, we can argue against RWA. But we have to fundamentally change the dynamic of the debate, and you can do that by going straight to the people in an organised way. I'm not sure that's been done before in OA. Most of our declarations are inside baseball. Third, we used the wethepeople platform. Carl Malamud was the first one that I know of who used it in the open space, and his petition showed how hard it is to get 25,000 signatures. But it has the potential to really open the debate up that we needed. We don't know what it will do, but it can't hurt to have a strong public vote in favour of OA. RP: This is very much a call for the public (rather than the research community) to support Open Access. Why should the public care? What is in it for them? What, in a nutshell, is your message to ordinary citizens? JW: I think we get at that in the petition itself. It's taxpayer funded research, taxpayers should all have the right to access it. Public funds should create public goods. RP: You need to get 25,000 signatures within 30 days. What does that win if you succeed: a response from the White House, a debate in Congress, new legislation, or something else? JW: We don't know. At the least we get a response. Hopefully we get a policy change, a conversation about implementing the request in the petition. Once we hit our number we need to turn up the pressure on the Administration to make a meaningful response. It’s just tough RP: I read that you came up with the idea of the petition after meeting the Science Advisor to President Obama John Holdren. What was that meeting, and what happened in it that led you to conclude that a petition was needed? JW: Four of us — Mike Carroll, Heather Joseph, Mike Rossner, and me — met with the OSTP staff earlier in May. It was a very nice meeting. They listened to us, they clearly had studied the issues. But they can't make any promises. And it's tough, because you know the publishers have fulltime staff devoted to these meetings and we can pull off one every now and then. It's just tough. RP: The petition is for "free access over the Internet to scientific journal articles arising from taxpayer-funded research". Producing scientific journal articles is not a cost-free process is it? Are you asking the public to find additional money to meet the costs of providing free access, or is the money already in the system somewhere but needing to be re-allocated? JW: This petition asks for a policy implementation of public access across the US Government — focused on access more than mechanisms. But in the NIH case and elsewhere, one method is to include the cost of publication in the funding itself. When you're looking at grants in science research they're tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. A line item of $2,000 for an article fee isn't a significant hurdle. RP: In 2001 a group of Open Access advocates called for the “free and unrestricted online availability" of journal articles. Why, eleven years later, are you having to make the same call? If what you are asking for were logical, feasible and cost-effective surely it would have happened by now? JW: Because change takes a long time. And academic publishing is protected from some of the winds that have buffeted other content industries — the costs are hidden to the scientists at elite universities, and the desire to publish in the top journals is strong. But scientists are getting used to having the content they want in their personal life, and the gulf with how their professional content is managed is only growing. On top of that, citizens are getting more and more likely to bump into paywalls and get frustrated. Entrepreneurs are unable to try and disrupt scholarly search and publishing. And we're all more densely networked than we were ten years ago. The screwed-upness of the system is getting harder and harder to hide. And the success of PLoS, BioMed Central, Hindawi, and other open publishers is showing that there's money to be made in different access models. It takes time to change a hidebound industry. There's a lot of money to be made in selling scholarly journals, and a long history of resistance to change. I think the movement's gone pretty quickly actually viewed in that light. RP: What would be the best outcome of the petition in your view? JW: The extension of the NIH policy across all US federal agencies. Even better would be a shorter embargo period. RP: Thank you for your time. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Fw: [GOAL] We're Halfway There - White House Petition on Open Access
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 May '12

24 May '12

Friends: Here is a message I received from SPARC-ARL. Please read and act. Scientists, students, librarians and all those who are interested in widespread dissemination of knowledge in India and other developing countries should lend their support to this movement. The Obama Administration is actively considering taking action to open up the results of research funded by taxpayer dollars, by making scientific articles freely available online. A petition (wh.gov/6TH) calling for Public Access to all Federally Funded Research has been posted to the White House "We the People" website. If the petition garners 25,000 signatures within 30 days, it will be reviewed by White House staff, and considered for action. We’re halfway there – more than 12,500 people have signed the petition since it was posted just two and half days ago! Researchers, patients groups, universities, libraries, students, businesses and families have all thrown their support behind this simple yet powerful idea – to make taxpayer-funded research freely accessible to the public. Learn more about why by watching this one-minute video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FoYxzPZDuw) Sign the petition (wh.gov/6TH) today, and encourage your colleagues, friends and family to do the same. You are eligible to sign if you are at least 13 years old, and have a valid email address. That’s all. Signing is easy, it’s fast, and it can have an enormous impact on our chances of expanding access to the results of scientific research that we have helped to fund. So take some time today to not only sign onto the petition, but to spread the word far and wide. Consider a blog post, an email to constituencies, a tweet (use #openaccess), a Facebook share, an action in your library or on your campus - anything that tells as many people as possible "I support this petition, I'm signing this petition, and you should, too." Thanks in advance for your support for this effort - it is truly a critical time, and taking this action now *can* make a difference!

KOHA WORKSHOP AT MARIAN COLLEGE, KUTTIKKANAM-REG
by Sunny Joseph 22 May '12

22 May '12

Dear Knowledge Managers, I was a participant in the workshop on KOHA conducted at Marian College, Kuttikkanam, Kerala from 17-5-2012 to 19-05-2012 with the Participation of Mahatma Gandhi University Library, Kottayam. Kuttikkanam is a hilly tourist place with its salubrious climate and 'Marian' is a NAAC "A' Grade College praise worthy for its elegant structures, infrastructural facilities and its hospitality. The Library is the cynosure of the college headed by Mr.Jobin Jose, who was the convener of the workshop. During the inaugural session the Manager,Fr.Ruben J.Thannickal, described the Library as the "heart" of the institution.Prof. Ruble Raj, the Principal, expressed their care and regards for the Library and praised the Librarian Mr.Jobin Jose for his services and the extension activities. The principal informed about their programme "read for gold" for students initiated for enhancing their reading habit in which one girl student was prized gold for reading 385 books. Prof. Ruble Raj described him as the only principal who visits the library three times a day. The koha workshop was led by Mr.Vimal Kumar and Mr.Prajesh from M.G.University.Mrs.Laila T.Abraham, the Deputy Librarian of the University supervised the programme.The workshop actually dispelled the fear for Koha and proved to be the much user friendly LMS, which is available at free cost.There were 30 participants from Kerala,Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Every body was curious for learning. The valedictory session was chaired by the Vice-Principal. During the session I described the the library professionals as "Knowledge Managers". As the present day Librarians are not the" book keepers" of the past, the designation-- "Librarian" which doesn't generate an instant respect need to be changed as "Knowledge Manager".The professionals are requested for placing their comments on the change of designation through LIS- Forum. With Regards, Sunny Joseph, Knowledge Manager Govt.Institute of Advanced Study in Education, Thrissur,Kerala. 9446735414 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
