CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part A: Systems and
Humans

SPECIAL ISSUE ON
The Human Semantic Web
Personalization, Management of Personal Knowledge and Social Identity for
the Knowledge Society

Special Issue in Late 2009

The First World Summit on the Knowledge Society,
http://www.open-knowledge-society.org/summit.htm is the conference/origin
of the special issue

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Part A: Systems and
Humans seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on The Human
Semantic Web scheduled to appear in a late 2009 issue.
The Semantic Web vision has evolved in the last years as a blueprint for a
knowledge-based framework aimed at crossing the chasm from the current Web
of unstructured information resources to a Web equipped with metadata
and oriented to delegation of tasks to software agents. In spite of the
orientation of Semantic Web technology to machine processing, a large part
of useful Semantic Web applications require the building of semantic user
models, and semantic end-user interfaces. The increasing popularity of
open social systems has contributed an additional dimension to the complex
picture of bringing semantics to the Web. Ontologies are the key piece of
this framework in that they provide shared semantics to metadata, thus
enabling a degree of semantic interoperability.

Re: Photographed Any Good Books Lately?

this is a site that was posted on a friend's blog - it generates covers 
of the books you select that you can post on your blog or website.  it 
also allows you to keep track of others who are interested in the same 
titles or type of books.  you can also post reviews and comments about 
your selection and catalog them to better describe the books so that 
others can search for them.  there are also "groups" that may share 
your "reading" interests that you can join.

http://www.librarything.com/

it's free for the first 200 books you enter.

On flickr or elsewhere?  What's the scope of the question?  I can
think of quite a few sites online that would fit the bill.

Are you just looking for ones establish by librarians?

There are facebook applications for a "personal bookshelf", usually 
identifying the book by its cover, and will the usual social networking 
features tossed in.

Searching within a site

Hi all,

I have browsed through the Web4Lib archives and wasn't able to find an
answer to my question:

Is there a search tool I can use to search within my library website,
which is part of our universities' website? Currently, the search tool
allows one to search the entire university website, but I want to limit
it to just the library web pages.  Our web master is having trouble
figuring out how to do this. 

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Liz
