6. TOOLS AND MEANS
At times we are tempted to consider
web technologies as a complete
medium providing the means for a
rich growing resource body of
knowledge.
Web offers TOOLS and MEANS.
Only content is the KING

8. COMES AROUND!
Today we see many discrete information sources that need to be put in a revealing
context.
Everything is a resource!
Resources need to be put in a particular “order” to form a meaning.
Meaningful bundles of resources build the context for one to extract knowledge or to
put other resources to enlarge the existent one.

12. SEMANTIC WEB?
The Semantic Web provides a common
framework that allows data to be shared and
reused across application, enterprise, and
community boundaries. It is a collaborative
effort led by W3C with participation from a
large number of researchers and industrial
partners. It is based on the Resource
Description Framework (
RDF).http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/

13. RESOURCE DESCRIPTION FRAMEWORK
RDF is a standard model for data interchange on the Web. RDF has
features that facilitate data merging even if the underlying schemas differ,
and it specifically supports the evolution of schemas over time without
requiring all the data consumers to be changed.
An RDF triple contains three components:
the subject, which is an RDF URI reference or a
blank node
the predicate, which is an RDF URI reference
the object, which is an RDF URI reference, a literal
or a blank node

17. CONCLUSION OF THE REPORT
• Library data is not integrated with web resources
• Library standards are designed only for the library community
• Library data is expressed primarily in natural-language text
• The library community and Semantic Web community have different terminology for
similar metadata concepts
• Library technology changes depend on vendor systems development

18. EUROPEANA EXAMPLE!
http://version1.europeana.eu/web/lod/datasets
Europeana Linked Open Data
The data.europeana.eu pilot is part of Europeana's ongoing effort of making its metadata
available as Linked Open Data on the Web. It allows others to access metadata collected from
Europeana providers, via standard Web technologies, enrich this metadata and give this
enriched metadata back to the providers. Links between Europeana resources and other
resources in the Linked Data Web will enable discovery of semantically related resources, as,
say, when two artworks are created by artists who are related to each other.
The data is represented in the Europeana Data Model (EDM) and the described resources are
addressable and dereferencable by their URIs - for instance,
http://data.europeana.eu/item/09404/C3C50BD0958EE18ECE1B8F93780DC84D8273664F
leads either to an HTML page on the Europeana portal for the object it identifies or to raw,
machine-processable data on this object.

From early times we needed a reference system to understand the world and its tangible parts.We should perceive the early classifications from the perspective of establishing a context: a milestoned space of understanding.
The period between 1920 and 1940 marks the most ambitious human project: Mundaneum.Again we do speak about a framework Paul Otlet put together, another attempt to make sense out of the separate parts of information. Mundaneum demonstrated another thing: how frail are these type of projects, and how little are they understood.
From “Vague, but exciting” to the “cloud” there was such a short period…
Users habits are embraced with ease because even the information specialist are users themselves.And we are better in retrieving information when we combine it whit what we’ve already got in our collections.We do not retrieve information, we enclose “relevance” through meaning in references.But, this very act is the one who establishes the “context”.
Discrete types of information exist around a particular point of interest (subject), but apparently there is no link between to offer them a chance beyond their limited boundaries.The web acts like a shaman throwing the bones on the table. The way they are falling forms a meaning for the shaman and is not relevant for everybody, but for one at a particular point in time.
Apparently discrete pieces of information, discrete components of collections, and all the material and abstract seems to be clearly separated at times. There are lights when they are contextualized along a particular subject.
The link between Jules Verne and Neuromancer (Wiliam Gibson) is in some sort of sens “natural” in this type of presentation offering literally inroads for a researcher to get his own personal tailored contextualized space.
