- Abstract
- The Ovid Java interface is compared with the Ovid Web Gateway and Ovid Windows Client, focusing on functionality from the user's perspective. The Java version draws upon both earlier Web and Windows versions, thus combining the worlds of the Web and application programs. It is concluded that Ovid Java offers enhanced functionality and requires high-end hardware and browser software to run well. Additional enhancements are forthcoming, some dependent upon the further development of Sun Microsystems' Java programming language

- Abstract
- Komplexe Aufgaben und Probleme werden heute üblicherweise im Team bearbeitet und gelöst. Das gilt insbesondere für Softwareprojekte, denn die Entwicklung komplexer Softwaresysteme findet heutzutage meistens arbeitsteilig in - zunehmend räumlich verteilten - Teams statt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird zum einen ein rollenbasiertes Konzept vorgestellt, das virtuellen Lernteams bei der Zusammenarbeit einen virtuellen Tutor zur Seite stellt, der dem Team im Rahmen von Rollendefiziten adaptierte Hilfestellung bietet und so die Lerneffektivität unterstützt. Zum anderen wird gezeigt, wie das Zusammenspiel zweier spezialisierter Systeme (VitaminL und K3) im Kontext des Blended Learning echte Mehrwerte in E-Learning-Szenarien bringen kann. Die in Benutzertests und einer Lehrveranstaltung ermittelten Evaluierungsergebnisse lassen auf die Tragfähigkeit des rollenbasierten, tutoriellen Konzepts schließen und decken gleichzeitig großes Weiterentwicklungpotenzial auf.

- Abstract
- Ovid Technologies is launching its Java search client to enable users to access Ovid's scientific databases on the Web with full search capabilities irrespective of the type of computer used. Explains the differences between Java and HTML. The Java client increases search speed by several orders of magnitude. The Ovid client does not need to wait for individual pages to load and incorporates multi-tasking. The interface includes tree displays; thesauri; mapping; explode/implode; search fields and context sensitive help. Display; save; and e-mail are available from the client

- Abstract
- iQvoc is a new open source SKOS-XL vocabulary management tool developed by the Federal Environment Agency, Germany, and innoQ Deutschland GmbH. Its immediate purpose is maintaining and publishing reference vocabularies in the upcoming Linked Data cloud of environmental information, but it may be easily adapted to host any SKOS- XL compliant vocabulary. iQvoc is implemented as a Ruby on Rails application running on top of JRuby - the Java implementation of the Ruby Programming Language. To increase the user experience when editing content, iQvoc uses heavily the JavaScript library jQuery.

- Abstract
- What factors are critical to the success of expanding a NACO program? The University of Florida Libraries' experience with NACO, the Name Authority arm of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC), points to some important variables. As members of NACO, institutions contribute name and series authorities to the national authority database, which greatly increases the pool of available authorities for libraries to use. In 1987 we became a member of the NACO program, and faithfully submitted a few hundred authorities each year for nine years. In 1996, things began to change as we refocused our program objectives, and our submissions grew, tripling by 1998/99. The dynamics that created this environment of change are instructive for librarians and managers hoping to breath new life into existing programs.

There are many books on the net bound to either one product, e.g. Mosaic, or to one topic, HTML. Mesaric, on the other hand, covers all WWW-related topics and all products which are in popular use. The magic revealed includes common data formats (HTML, PDF, JPEG, GIF), an introduction to Java and Java Srcipt, emerging technologies such as Hyper-G, hypermedia authoring with Haemony and Amadeus, information about ATM, TeleScript, and much more

- Abstract
- A detailed description of how to use Java applets and Common Gateway Interface (CGI)/Dynamic Link Library (DLL) programs for Web publication of textual databases. The advantages of Java applets include low cost, flexible and visually appealing search interfaces, and the ability to be embedded in HTML pages, eliminating the need for Internet service provider permissions for their use. Highlights the FindIt family of Java applets from DoubleOLogic as one of the best product lines in the category. CGI programs may be written in Perl, Java, or some other language, and like DLL programs, must be installed on the server side. Notes that small-scale CGI and DLL applications cost from $150 to $8,000. Highlights Insight from Enigma Inc. as an excellent program at the high end of the cost range

- Abstract
- The authors, hoping to stimulate interest in XML (Extensible Markup Language) and explain its value to the library community, offer a fine introduction to the topic. The opening chapter defines XML as "a system for electronically tagging or marking up documents in order to label, organize, and categorize their content" and then goes on to describe its origins and fundamental building blocks. Subsequent chapters address related technologies, schema development, XML-based tools, and current and future library uses. The authors argue persuasively for increased XML use, emphasizing its advantages over HTML in flexibility, interoperability, extensibility, and internationalization. Information is detailed, deftly written, and supported by numerous examples. Readers without a technological bent may find the text daunting, but their perseverance will be richly rewarded. Particularly recommended for webmasters and those working in library information systems and technical services.

- Abstract
- Discusses drawbacks of the Java programming language, and proposes some potential improvements for concurrent object-oriented software development. Java's passive object model does not provide an effective means for building distributed applications, critical for the future of Web-based next-generation information systems. Suggests improvements to Java's existing mechanisms for maintaining consistency across multiple threads, sending asynchronous messages and controlling resources. Drives the discussion with examples and suggestions from work on the Actor model of computation

- Abstract
- This paper proposes the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) as a language for modelling ontologies for Web resources and the knowledge contained within them. To provide a mechanism for serialising and processing object diagrams representing knowledge, a pair of XSI-T stylesheets have been developed to map from XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) encodings of class diagrams to corresponding RDF schemas and to Java classes representing the concepts in the ontologies. The Java code includes methods for marshalling and unmarshalling object-oriented information between in-memory data structures and RDF serialisations of that information. This provides a convenient mechanism for Java applications to share knowledge on the Web

- Abstract
- The emergence of Information Architecture within the information systems world has been simultaneously drawn out yet rapid. Those with an eye an history are quick to point to Wurman's 1976 use of the term "architecture of information," but it has only been in the last 2 years that IA has become the source of sufficient interest for people to label themselves professionally as Information Architects. The impetus for this recent emergence of IA can be traced to a historical summit, supported by ASIS&T in May 2000 at Boston. It was here that several hundred of us gathered to thrash out the questions of just what IA was and what this new field might become. At the time of the summit, invited to present a short talk an my return journey from the annual ACM SIGCHI conference, 1 entered the summit expecting little and convinced that IA was nothing new. I left 2 days later refreshed, not just by the enthusiasm of the attendees for this term but by IA's potential to unify the disparate perspectives and orientations of professionals from a range of disciplines. It was at this summit that the idea for the special issue took root. I proposed the idea to Don Kraft, hoping he world find someone eise to run with it. As luck world have it, l ended up taking charge of it myself, with initial support from David Blair. From the suggestion to the finished product has been the best part of 2 years, and in that time more than 50 volunteers reviewed over 20 submissions.
