IndMED gets HON code certification
by Sukhdev Singh 31 Jul '03

31 Jul '03

The following information may be useful for the members of the forum. 1. "The European Commission has weighed in with its contribution to the growing body of standards and recommendations for online health and medical information. The document contains quality criteria for use by Member States, as well as public and private bodies, in the development of quality initiatives for health related web sites. Recognizing the need to protect its citizens, as well as the global customers of its online sector, the European Commission has taken a clear position on the need to maintain high standards for online health information. The report stops short, however, of proposing an EU-wide implementation for quality criteria, judging this to be impractical for the moment. HON participated actively in the development of the EU document, along with some sixty other delegations from government, industry, medical and consumers associations and academia. The result incorporates all eight principles of the HONcode condensed into six points with additional emphasis on accessibility, a hotly debated subject on both sides of the Atlantic. In effect, US Government requirements for domestic information providers may also influence decisions made in Europe." (http://www.hon.ch/HONcode/HON_CCE_intro.htm) 2. Indian Medlars Centre, has received the cerfication from the above mentioned "Health on Net (HON) Foundation" for its compliance with the HON code. This site is the First Government Indian health site and among select few Indian health sites to receive the certification.(http://indmed.nic.in). The certification may be verified from http://www.hon.ch/HONcode/Conduct.html?HONConduct932785 . 3. I would suggest to website administrators / evaluators to use best practises / standards for sites so that their reliability could be ascertained.

A Google-like Portal of the World's Leading Scientists
by Bibhuti Bhusan Sahoo 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

ISIHighlyCited.com calls itself "an expert gateway to the most highly influential scientists and scholars worldwide," using similar techniques to Google's PageRank to identify these intellectual leaders. This free search tool makes it easy to identify individuals, departments and laboratories that have made fundamental contributions to the advancement of science and technology over the past several decades. Google's PageRank algorithm uses many of the same techniques involved in citation analysis to get a sense of the most important pages on the web, based on the number and quality of links pointing to them. ISIHighlyCited.com plans to include the top 250 preeminent individual researchers in 21 subject categories who have demonstrated great influence in their field as measured by citations to their work. Bibliography with links to the full bibliographic information indexed in the ISI Web of Science. ISIHighlyCited is similar to ResearchIndex, an academic computer science search engine that also does a lot of extensive citation analysis. Both tools are excellent resources for tracking research trends through literature references. To learn more about citation analysis and how it reveals useful information about who's who and what's what, see the article "How Does ISI Identify Highly Cited Researchers? follow the link http://isihighlycited.com/isi_copy/Comm_news08.htm -- ================================ Bibhuti Bhusan Sahoo JRF, DRTC, Indian Statistical Institute 8th mile, Mysore Road R.V.College P.O.

Information retrieval with cURL
by Aman Kumar Jha 28 Jul '03

28 Jul '03

Dear friends Please find an interesting article related to Information Retrieval. Source: http://www.hinduonnet.com/stories/2003072800120200.htm Aman Kumar Jha Librarian South Asia Human Rights Documentation Centre New Delhi Information retrieval with cURL THIS WEEK NetSpeak focuses on a tool for automatically transferring files from the Net using a variety of Net protocols. The innumerable and wide ranging Net resources available on the various servers across the Net are stored/retrieved using different well-defined methods or protocols. The web protocol HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol), the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and the Gopher protocol are three popular protocols. To retrieve resources stored under various servers, many tools that understand these protocols have been developed. These are called Net clients. The web browser, which understands the HTTP protocol, is a client tool for retrieving resources from a web server. Similarly there are clients for other protocols such as FTP and POP. But the drawback of most of these tools is that, though quite easy to operate, they lack enough flexibility. For example, the browser does not have an easy mechanism to selectively download a few web pages from a site. Again, if you want to automatically download regularly all newly updated files with a specific extension from a site, current browser features become inadequate. Here is another scenario: Suppose a Net resource is mirrored at several locations and to speed up the download process you want to split the file into multiple parts and download each of them from separate locations, instead of downloading the file completely from one location. None of the current browsers can do of do this. Al these point to the fact that there is need for a better information retrieval tool that will help automate some of the download tasks and allow downloading of materials as per requirements. One such client tool is cURL, which can be used to download Net resources automatically with extreme ease and flexibility. cURL As per its web site (http://curl.haxx.se/) cURL (stands for `client URL') is a command-line utility for transferring files from diverse Net servers such as FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, GOPHER, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP. Any Net resource that uses standard URL format (like http://, ftp://) can be retrieved with this tool. Please note that cURL has nothing to do with 'Curl', the web programming language discussed in this column (http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/biz/2001/12/13/stories/2001121300 340100.htm) long ago. You may also note that this free tool, which runs on platforms such as Windows and Linux, not only allows you to download files but can also be used to upload files on to such servers as web and FTP. Another highlight of this service is the availability of the free curl library libcurl that can be integrated with popular programming languages such as Basic, C, C++, Python and PHP to develop curl based applications. As usual, to get a good hold and internalise the capabilities of this program, let us go through a few examples: The command: `curl http://www.hinduonnet.com' will download the home page of The Hindu's site and will display it on your screen. If you want to view the HTTP exchange or the conversation that takes place between the client and the web server while downloading the web page, execute the above command with the `v' (v stands for verbose) option (like this: curl - v http://www. hinduonnet.com) To upload a file on to an FTP server, use curl with the option `T' as follows: Curl - T readme-file ftp://user: pass word(a)ftp-domain-name.com The above command will upload the file `readme-file' on to the FTP server. If you have a file stored in two locations, using cURL with `r' option, you can retrieve parts of the file simultaneously from these servers. For example, suppose you have a file called `example.doc' of size 39424 bytes, stored in two servers called server 1 and server 2. To download the file in two parts from these servers, use the following commands: curl -r 0-1500 -o example 1 http://server1/example.doc (this will download first 1500 bytes of the file from server 1 and store it as `example 1') curl -r 1501- -o example 2 http://server2/example.doc (this command will download the rest of the file from server 2 and store it as `example 2') Combining the two downloaded files, we will get the original file. Programs based on libcurl As already mentioned, along with the cURL client program, a curl `program library' that can be used to create cURL-based applications is also available at the cURL site. The free program Getleft developed for downloading complete web sites is a good example of a product created with the help of cURL library. The software, Getleft, written in TCL (Tool Command Language http://tcl.activestate.com/) can be used to download a web site completely by just entering the site's address in its input box. During the downloading process, it alters links in the original page so that you can browse the site locally without any trouble. For more details, check out: http://personal1.iddeo.es/andresgarci/ getleft/english/ Bootdisk If you are a regular computer user, it is likely that you have faced the problem of hard disk failure at least once. Once the machine fails to boot from the hard disk, the next feasible solution is to attempt to boot using a bootable floppy disk. If you have failed/forgotten to create a boot disk during the installation stage, you will not be able to take this course. In case you land up in such troubled situations, check out the site BootDisk (http://www.bootdisk.com) which hosts many programs that can be used to create boot disks. For example, if you want to create a DOS 6.22 boot disk, access the site, click on the `DOS/Windows... ' option and download the appropriate boot software. Now, insert a fresh floppy disk and execute the downloaded software, which will convert the floppy into bootable disk by transferring the DOS system files on to it. Apart from several `boot' programs, you will find many valuable materials that include information on hard disk partitioning, networking and several `how to guides' in this site. Free web space index It is quite likely that many of you have own web sites or are planning to launch one. One easy route is to avail the services of a free web space provider and build a site on its server. There are many free web space providers on the Net such as Tripod (http://www.tripod.com) and Netfirms (http://netfirms.com/) with varying tools/facilities. To get the latest information on the free web space providers, check out the search service `Free web hosting space finder' at: http://www.free-web-space-finder. com/ J.
