Some thoughts for the talk
Things I am working towards
-
frictionless movement of content and knowledge and data
-
ability to join content and services arbitrarily and easily
-
tied into this is the notion of maximizing reuse, enabling bricolage authoring
-
four domains of interaction: digital libraries, educational technology, the Web, authoring tools of all types
gather/create/share paradigm -- what we have learned and where we are going.
-
we have shown certain things are possible -- let's shift to pulling stuff together into coherent scenarios
What are some of these scenarios?
-
copy objects with metadata and keep context and place this new materials in desired locations
-
reuse one's own materials and others and libraries
Context and ferment and overlap
-
library and educational technology interoperability: Flecker-McLean Report
-
lots and lots of web experimentation: flickr, furl, del.icio.us,
Specific projects I want to pursue
-
how does one get maximal reuse and flow out of bibliographic citations?
-
right now:
-
BibTeX for math and physics
-
Endnote and related programs for Microsoft Word
-
URLs, bookmarks, blogs, wikis, RSS
-
citation systems, including in the biosciences (e.g., NLM format in PLoS)
-
citing vs locating vs acquiring object
-
any unified model for bibliographic citation systems that work across disciplines and systems, that encompass both academic discourse and more free-form web-based discourse?
-
placing of arbitrary services and practical interoperability of tools
