- Modeling Representations (take 2)
I wrote something in the last weeks about the difficulties related to the modeling of representations and their contents. So today I just read this article by Stefano Mazzocchi, which basically hints at the same issue, but from an ‘RDF perspective’. It’s a very interesting article, so I just wanted to quote and comment a […]
- Digital Document Quarterly
It’s an interesting web-journal written by Henry Gladney, which deals with various subjects from document digitalization, encoding, semantics and in general the revolution linked to the digital world. Extract from the first number’s manifesto: This first DDQ number suggests why taxpayers should pay attention. Why is digital preservation suddenly urgent? The U.S. Government recently granted […]
- Lyx on the mac
I’m probably one of the last ones getting there, but I decided to do my best not to use Microsoft Word for editing my phd thesis. Oh yes – since I managed to arrive till this painful state, shall I give myself ever more troubles by using word? Not at all… So I found out […]
- Navigating the Eternal Egypt
A really nice application to browse conceptually related egyptian artifacts, with many features: visual navigation, possibility of creating personal “libraries” of artifacts, typed entities. The Eternal Egypt. Even if the links to the semantic web could be many, I have not found anything mentioning a possible openness of the data….what a shame! IBM and CultNat […]
- Ecto : multiple blog manager and WUSIWYG editor
Read an article about the “must-have” applications for the mac on slashdot – incredible how they havent inserted QUICKSILVER, which is a revolutionary launchbar program in my opinion.. actually more: ” A unified, extensible interface for working with applications, contacts, music, and other data.” But I found some other interesting stuff…. :-) ECTO, a multiple […]
- Internet research ethics: a first journal
I’m busy writing an article these days, which sort of feels like being in a long and tiring trip to the underworld.. So, since I can’t really spend time on anything else but I still wanted to post something, here’s a brief philosophy/technology related news: The IJIRE is the first peer-reviewed online journal, dedicated specifically […]
- Ontology of Representations
It’s been three days that I’m struggling with concepts of content, form, representation and so on.. I wonder whether there’s a well-formalized theory of representations out there.. the one in DOLCE is a useful design pattern, but I’m still reluctant to say that it is complete (I hope I’ll find out to be wrong). Another […]
- Dear old paper, how could we do without you?
I’d say it’s one of the oldest technologies, so old that we don’t even look at it as a technological product anymore. But no super-fast almost-intelligent intel-based mac could be safe without it….From a MAC101 post: Whether your Mac asks you for certain information or you’re seeking help from Apple or an Apple Authorized Service […]
