FWD : Digital Document Quarterly , Volume 6, Number 2, 2Q2007 is available
by sri priya 12 Oct '07

12 Oct '07

Dear Professionals, The latest number of the Digital Document Quarterly is available at http://home.pacbell.net/hgladney/ddq_6_2.htm. It addresses: Digital Preservation NDIIPP Funding Withdrawn Another Task Force, and Also New NSF Funding Vintage Gadgets at the Computer History Museum Epistemology Notes on Natural Language Knowledge and Information Information Science What is Information Science? Rename Information Science as Knowledge Science? Symptomatic Synopsis Reading Recommendations Umberto Eco, Kant and the Platypus Eric Kandel, In Search of Memory Alan Hirschfeld: The Electric Life of Michael Faraday Andrew Spielman & Michael DAntonio, Mosquito Practical Matters Migrating from Microsoft Products to Open Source Persistent Storage on Your LAN Your Future PC The core of DDQ 6(3) is the beginning of a critique of Information Science. This critique, planned to continue in future DDQ numbers, explores the proposition that Information Science will not resolve current uncertainties about its place as an academic discipline on a par with Computer Science, but instead will fade within two decades, with its concerns becoming topics in more enduring university faculties. Information Science professionals who believe this prediction mistaken might wish to present counter-arguments to what appears in DDQ. To them, I suggest that Information Science will fade unless they can produce justifications and scoping statements much more robust than any I have read. Should they want DDQ to publish or cite of their refutations, I will be happy to include them provided that they accommodate the compact DDQ style. Readers are reminded that embedded links provide quick access to other authors' discussions of topics that DDQ mentions, in case they want more depth than DDQ can provide. Cheerio, Henry H.M.

What is IBM Mashup Starter Kit? How useful it could be for you! IBM Mashup Starter Kit is a preview of a new Web 2.0-based mashup platform that empowers business professionals to rapidly get the information they need, no matter where it resides. This toolkit enables users to assemble their own Web 2.0 mashup applications, solving business problems without aid from information technology (IT) specialists. IBM Mashup Starter Kit consists of two technologies: IBM Mashup Hub and QEDWiki. IBM Mashup Hub is a mashup server that stores information feeds (such as in RSS, ATOM, or XML formats) in order to enable reuse and collaboration. Mashup Hub can also merge, transform, filter, annotate, or publish information in new formats. From there, the newly-enhanced QEDWiki serves as the user interface and allows non-IT users to "mash" information from any data source in order to create a single view of disparate sets of information in minutes.

Dear Moderator, Sometimes, we find a name and an unknown/impersonal/non-organisational email_id of the sender with a post. It makes the post very impersonal - as in newspapers- not like an e-community formed for caring and sharing. While someone is sending some info for LIS-FORUM readers, can they please include very brief organisational details under their names just to give us a feel of bonding between LIS professionals? Name of the organisation and city/state may also help in regional groupings/activities. Best regards.
