This document proposes a framework for modeling tagging systems and user tagging behavior to combat tag spam. It introduces methods for ranking documents matching a tag based on taggers' reliability. The authors study how existing approaches perform under malicious attacks and the impact of moderation. They define models of good and bad tagging behavior to simulate tag spam and evaluate different query answering schemes and moderator strategies.
This document brings together opposites like rappers and forest animals. It combines creative concepts like Loctite glue sticking things together that would never be joined otherwise. Objects that are totally opposed or antithetical to each other are united.

This document provides an overview of schema design and data modeling for both relational and non-relational databases. It discusses the history of data modeling including hierarchical and relational models. The goals of data modeling are to avoid anomalies, minimize redesign, and make the model informative for users. Common data modeling patterns like one-to-many, many-to-many, and tree structures are explained. Specific examples are given for modeling comments, products, and categories in a non-relational database.

This document summarizes two studies conducted by Google on social annotations in web search. The first study found that only 11% of users noticed social annotations in search results. A second study tested different designs and found that annotations received more attention when placed above search snippets and with shorter snippets. The studies concluded that users prioritize URLs, titles, and snippets in search results, and annotations must compete for attention based on placement, length of surrounding text, and size of avatar icons.

Open Web Camp 2014: Present & future of web developmentBenoit Marchant
The browser has been growing into a software platform by adopting and adapting proven engineering designs patterns from established native platforms. Features like 2D and 3D hardware accelerated graphics, binary data or local storage continue to widen the type of Web content we can build. But as the potential grows, so does the complexity to create such content.
Front-end Web developers have been using a wide range of tools such as programmable text editors, command-line utilities and preprocessors. Those tools, however, are all designed to support a fundamentally text-based approach to development.
To fulfill the Web’s potential to become the most powerful content creation platform, we need a new approach to front-end development and a new generation of tools built upon a deep understanding of the Web.

Importance of school based ict curriculumAwais e Siraj
This document summarizes a study on the importance of school-based ICT curriculum and career counseling in Pakistan. The study collected data from 500 students across 5 universities in Pakistan. Key findings include:
1) Most students came from Urdu-medium backgrounds and had little exposure to ICT before university.
2) Over 70% created their first email account at university, showing a lack of ICT education at earlier levels.
3) Career counseling and knowledge of program objectives were also lacking prior to university for most students.
4) The study concludes that introducing ICT education and career guidance earlier would better prepare students and improve outcomes in Pakistan.
