  • Our First iEdge event of the year!
    Sara Seely and Jill Fairlee Kobayashi will present on educational blogging, and how blogs are being used in school libraries and K-12 classrooms. This is an abbreviated version of the presentation Jill and Sara gave at the Washington Library Media Association annual meeting a few weeks ago.
    Andrew Szydlowski will teach us about RSS (Really Simple Syndication). RSS is alternative means of presenting and accessing information on the Internet using XML. Instead of the user browsing websites for information of interest, the information is sent directly to the user via RSS.
    Betsy Rolland will talk about her experience this summer working on the Bio-Mediator project in the Biomedical & Health Informatics department. Bio-Mediator is a project that allows researchers to use one interface to query multiple datasources using a central ontology and mediated schemas. Betsy will also talk about its implications for other domains.

  • Findability: A Cyberspace Safari with Peter Morville & Joe Janes
    In this cyberspace safari, Peter Morville and Joe Janes explore the future present in mobile devices, search algorithms, ontologies, folksonomies, findable objects, ambient advertising, and the long tail of the sociosemantic web. Reflect with Peter and Joe as they challenge us to think differently about the power of search – and findability – to redefine our sources of authority, inspiration, and competitive advantage.
