The Canadian Linked Data Initiative: Charting a Path to a Linked Data Future

ABSTRACT

This article is a preliminary report on the work of the Canadian Linked Data Initiative (CLDI), a collaboration between five of Canada’s largest research libraries, Library and Archives Canada, Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec, and Canadiana.org. Although still in its nascent stage, participating institutions are working together to advance the technical services divisions of our libraries in the area of linked data. Project working groups are making progress in five main areas: grant funding, digital collections, education and training, legacy metadata enhancement, and in the evaluation and adaptation of Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative tools. By working across geographic and institutional boundaries, the CLDI aims to chart a path to a new age of technical services, one based on the foundation of Linked Open Data.     

开创情报学的未来——争论的焦点问题研究

本文概括了当前中国情报界争论的10类观点,体现在2个层面上和集中在1个焦点上。通过对焦点问题的解读,试图破解争论,统一认知,共同推进情报学的学科发展。     

On Replication in Communication Science

Replications are an important part of the research process because they allow for greater confidence in the findings of communication research. However, engaging in replications is often undervalued, replication studies can be difficult to publish, and thus it is difficult for individual scholars to devote their resources toward replication. This essay outlines the importance of replications for communication science and provides a framework for this special issue on replications. The authors also issue a call for communication scholars to consider future projects and structural changes that would incentivize future replication studies.     

传播史学的未来

《传播史学的未来》,原文发表于《媒体传播批判研究》(Critical Studies in Media Communication) 2006年秋季号。该文首先梳理了传播史学研究的两种倾向:技术史和新闻史,然后详述了三种介于和融合这两种倾向的跨学科的学术范式:作为技术的社会建构的技术史,追寻书籍生存史的书籍史,探索传播与管制关系的公共领域史,并衡量了其对传播史学的意义。最后总结传播史学的未来需要自己建构。本文的翻译得到了作者和原刊物的许可。

The Value of Communication Science

In communication science, the distinction between applied and basic research is often accompanied by a discussion of the relative value of each. However, the idea that there is a value distinction to be made between applied and basic research is fundamentally inconsistent with scientific epistemology. Rather than different modes of inquiry with different relative value, communication science is a whole, constituted by applied and basic researchers who focus on different goals of science: to explain, to predict, and to control. An example is provided of a highly successful communication intervention created via the cooperation between applied and basic scholars.     

从“谷歌地球”的功能演进看未来信息传播的多元维度

自2005年谷歌地球推出以来,其功能在不断演进,2007年发布的谷歌天空收集了包括1亿多颗恒星和2亿个星系在内的海量高清图片。2009年初推出的谷歌海洋完成了对海洋的数字化描绘。此外,谷歌地球上越来越多的图层和街景、3D模型等功能,也在不断向人们展示这个数字世界的多元维度。谷歌地球功能演进呈现出信息传播的三个发展趋势:通过信息手段实现人类生存环境的数字化呈现;通过信息手段实现人类社会活动的数字化模拟;将人类迄今所认识的自然界和人类社会运行的一切细节与时间结合起来,由此启动对人类文明进程镜像世界的建造。这些变化趋势预示:未来的信息传播将是多重知识体系、多元认知视角和动态时空维度的聚合;网民参与的网际协作将成为现代信息生产的主体模式;技术将推进人类创造的所有的信息单元告别孤立、片面、静止的状态,走向与整个信息世界的融合,达及人类社会的共享。     

Designing Communication Process for the Design of an Idea Zone at a Science Center

In this paper, we use the occasion of the design of a learning space (The Idea Zone) in a science center setting, the Museum of Science and Industry, to illustrate the importance of attending to communication issues in the design of a process to design the space. We explore communication processes in the conceptual design phase, with specific attention to bringing Needfinding to a participatory design framework. Use of the World Café is made to create a conversational space for the participatory design process. We reflect on the recursive nature of designing communication process for participatory design of the Idea Zone and offer seven principles that integrate the theories and practices of both communication and design, bringing particular attention to generative metaphors, reflective practice, and emergence of a “third language” for designing together with others.     

未来传播视野下内容范式的三个价值维度——对于传播学一个元概念的探析

新一代信息技术革命正推动着新一代内容范式的建构。作为一种新的内容范式,内容在作为资讯传达的深度价值之外,还具有作为情感和关系表达的宽度价值,以及内容作为一种传播场景的媒介价值。虽然资讯内容的价值属性未改变,但专业媒介面临工作重心从直接内容生产向数据挖掘与生产组织协调的转型。泛众化传播到来的同时传播的情感和关系属性被放大,视频表达的宽信息容量彰显了内容作为引发关系认同和情感共鸣的宽度价值。面对碎片化传播语境与流动中的用户,无所不在、无处不有的内容作为一种场景的媒介价值显现出来--通过内容聚合趣缘用户,再通过数据驱动建构场景连接,最后促进供需双方的价值变现。

论图书馆学期刊编辑对内对外的有效沟通

编辑是期刊编辑出版活动的组织者、执行者和服务者,是联系作者、审稿专家、读者等相关人员之间的桥梁。这就需要编辑具有很好的协调和沟通能力;需要编辑与编辑部内外建立起平等、和谐、合作的友好关系。图书馆学期刊编辑应该掌握和运用有效沟通的方法,对提高期刊质量和竞争力,实现期刊的可持续发展具有十分重要的意义。     

未来图书馆学发展的理性走向

当今 ,影响图书馆学发展的因素主要有社会发展的全球化、网络化、知识化等。图书馆学发展的趋向是研究重心向知识领域转移、学科发展从细化走向整合、学术理性由技术倾向人文、研究特点呈现理论与应用并重 ,以及学科建设更加注重本土化等等。参考文献 17。

Contributing to Theory and Knowledge in Quantitative Communication Science

We propose a framework for understanding how quantitative researchers typically seek to contribute to theory and generalizable knowledge in communication, noting some of the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches typically used. The major approaches are described, and a content analysis of articles from four issues each of Journal of Communication, Human Communication Research, and Communication Research spanning parts of 2008 and 2009 provides information about their relative frequency of use in the field. We discuss how these categories can be employed by researchers when conceptualizing and articulating the theoretical contributions planned in their research and by reviewers, editors, and researchers in critically assessing such contributions in the work of others.
