The document discusses different types of mediated communication and digital media tools. It describes digitized versions of radio and television as well as materials published on the internet. It notes that digital archives of radio, TV, and internet materials are valuable resources that require new research methods. The NetLab project aims to build a research infrastructure for studying internet materials and to make this available to scholars from different disciplines.
Enabling Case-Based Reasoning on the Web of Data (How to create a Web of Exp...Benjamin Heitmann
Presentation at the "Reasoning from experiences on the Web" workshop (WebCBR 2010) at the International Conference on Case Based Reasoning 2010.
Abstract:
While Case-based reasoning (CBR) has successfully been deployed on the Web, its data models are typically inconsistent with existing information infrastructure and standards. In this paper, we examine how
CBR can operate on the emerging Web of Data, with mutual benefits. The
expense of knowledge engineering and curating a case base can be reduced
by using Linked Data from the Web of Data. While Linked Data provides experiential data from many different domains, it also contains inconsistencies, missing data and noise which provide challenges for logic-based reasoning. CBR is well suited to provide alternative and robust reasoning approaches. We introduce (i) a lightweight CBR vocabulary which is
suited for the open ecosystem of the emerging Web of Data, and provide
(ii) a detailed example of a case base using data from multiple sources. We
propose that for the first time the Web of Data provides data and a real
context for open CBR systems.

Text and Non-textual Objects: Seamless access for scientists
Uwe Rosemann (German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB), Germany)
The European High Level Expert Group on Scientific data has formulated the challenges for a scientific infrastructure to be reached by 2030: “Our vision is a scientific e-infrastructure that supports seamless access, use, re-use, and trust of data. In a sense, the physical and technical infrastructure becomes invisible and the data themselves become the infrastructure – a valuable asset, on which science, technology, the economy and society can advance”.
Here, “data” is not restricted to primary data but also includes all non-textual material (graphs, spectra, videos, 3D-objects etc.).
The German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB) has developed a concept for a national competence center for non-textual materials which is now founded by the German State and by the German Federal Countries. The center has to perform the task: developing solutions and services together with the scientific community to make such data available, citable, sharable and usable, including visual search tools and enhanced content-based retrieval.
With solutions such as DataCite and modular development for extraction, indexing and visual searching of new scientific metadata, TIB will accept the challenge. And will make all data accessible to its users fast, convenient and easy to use.
The paper shows what special tools are developed by TIB in the context of scientific AV-media, 3D-objects and research data.

Paul Henning Krogh A New Dawn For E Collaboration In ScienceVincenzo Barone
Plone has growing reputation within research for working as an important component in international scientific collaboration infrastructures. In this panel session researchers shall present and answer questions on both their experiences in using Plone in a scientific context and on their research of studying Plone in use by scientists. Attendees will leave with a better conception of what is needed for international scientific collaboration and what Plone can offer as an e-collaboration tool to support research infrastructures. The panel participants will bring in expertise on computer supported collaborative work (CSCW) to stimulate use and development of Plone applications for such use cases. Panel headlines: - Exchange experiences with Plone in research environments (use cases) - Requirements for Plone in research environments: what's available, which extensions or modifications do we need? - Coordinate actions around Plone products for scientific use - Promote the use of Plone in scientific environments - Confront conceptions of collaborative research processes with Plone implementations of such models
