http://www.webol ogy.itgo.com/2004/v1n1/a2.html

Abstract:
This paper explains web-based information retrieval as one of the main research interests of information professionals during the last decade, and introduces machine-oriented and human-oriented approaches in the designing process of Internet search tools and concerns with the second approach as a basis for the discussion. Then it defines the concept of webliography as a special type human-edited search tools. It is in fact an enumerative list of hypertext links and a gateway to the scientific sources of information on the Net, whether annotated or not. The existence and development of webliographies on the Net are justified based on a brief literature review. 14 phases of webliography production process are also enumerated step by step and a conclusion is provided finally. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This has also been added to the toold section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Designs on the White House -- an online design contest, judged by designers, celebrities, and activists. Winning designs will be available for resale on T-shirts and other products, and all proceeds after expenses will benefit the John Kerry Presidential campaign. Impressive list of judges, including (so far) Milton Glaser, Chip Kidd, Ed Schlossberg, Atrios, and Tom Tomorrow. Designs will be online throughout May, with your votes determining the finalists. (Kerry's official shirts are lacking, imho) Maybe campaign memorabilia always has been?

Designing Trees and Hierarchies in SQL

Designing Trees and Hierarchies in SQL 06/05/2002 07:50 AM
If you've followed Joe Celko's columns or bought his books, he recommends the nested set model for representing trees in SQL (he's posted it on SQL Team a few times). It's very well detailed in the following articles, Part I, II, III, IV, and also in his book, SQL For Smarties, and I recommend checking it out. It's very efficient and makes it extremely easy to pull out trees/subtrees from the table.

However (you knew this was coming!) one of the issues I have with nested sets is the complexity required to do relatively simple tasks, like adding, deleting, or moving nodes in the tree. Even finding an employee's immediate supervisor or subordinates requires 3 self-joins AND a subquery! - robvolk

"btn" Focusses on MS SQL Server, but the principles can be applied to most databases.

Jason Cole lead a session on how to design a tool he wants to build. He says most academic technology is aimed at teachers. How do we build tools that support learning? His wife just started grad school and wants a tool that will build a personal knowledge base. But it should work with her friends' bases. And you'd like to find others working on the same issues. That means merging disparate ontologies. What do you do about degree of belief? Ontologies are binary, but people don't think in that binary way.

Designing Extensible, Versionable XML
Formats

Designing Extensible, Versionable XML
Formats 08/04/2004 01:25 AM
Dare Obasanjo discusses what considerations you should make when versioning XML formats, as well as covering some approaches to designing extensible XML formats in a manner compatible with existing XML technologies. (23 printed pages) An XML vocabulary should be designed in such a way that the applications that process it do not break when it is inevitably changed. One of the primary benefits of using XML for building data interchange formats is that the APIs and technologies for processing XML are quite resilient additions to vocabularies. If I write an application that loads RSS feeds looking for item elements, then processes their link and title elements using any one of the various technologies and APIs for processing, such as SAX, the DOM or XSLT, it is straightforward to build the application so that it is unaffected by changes in the RSS specification or extensions as long as the link and title elements always appear in a feed.

HTML Utopia -- Designing Without Tables

HTML Utopia -- Designing Without Tables 06/27/2002 02:08 AM
A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a site that really inspired me. It was beautifully designed and presented. It was not until I looked at the code behind it that my heart truly skipped a beat. The site was A List Apart, the brain child of Jeffrey Zeldman. Zeldman is also involved in WaSP - The WEB STANDARDS PROJECT that launched the browser upgrade campaign. The campaign encourages Users to upgrade to browsers that meet WC3 recommendations and lobbies the browser developers to build browsers that comply more thoroughly. I decided to have a crack at rebuilding a SitePoint page without using any tables (currently there are 18 tables being used, 17 of which are unnecessary). -- Julian Carroll
