The Role of RSS in Science Publishing
The Role of RSS in Science Publishing
12/24/2004 12:28 PMThe Role of RSS in Science Publishing - Syndication and
Annotation on the Web by Tony Hammond, Timo Hannay, and Ben
Lund
http
://www.dlib.org/dlib/december04/hammond/12hammond.html
Introduction By Author:
RSS is one of a new
breed of technologies that is contributing to the ever-expanding
dominance of the Web as the pre-eminent, global information medium. It
is intimately connected with—though not bound to—social
environments such as blogs and wikis, annotation tools such as
del.icio.us [1], Flickr [2] and Furl [3], and more recent hybrid
utilities such as JotSpot [4], which are reshaping and redefining our
view of the Web that has been built up and sustained over the last 10
years and more [n1]. Indeed, Tim Berners-Lee's original conception of
the Web [5] was much more of a shared collaboratory than the flat,
read-only kaleidoscope that has subsequently emerged: a consumer
wonderland, rather than a common cooperative workspace. Where did it
all go wrong?
These new 'disruptive' technologies [n2]
are now beginning to challenge the orthodoxy of the traditional
website and its primacy in users' minds. The bastion of online
publishing is under threat as never before. RSS is the very antithesis
of the website. It is not a 'home page' for visitors to call at, but
rather it provides a synopsis, or snapshot, of the current state of a
website with simple titles and links. While titles and links are the
joints that articulate an RSS feed, they can be freely embellished
with textual descriptions and richer metadata annotations. Thus said,
RSS usually functions as a signal of change on a distant website, but
it can more generally be interpreted as a kind of network
connector—or glue technology—between disparate applications.
Syndication and annotation are the order of the day and are beginning
to herald a new immediacy in communications and information provision.
This paper describes the growing uptake of RSS within science
publishing as seen from Nature Publishing Group's (NPG) [6]
perspective.
This will be added to my presentation

today. i2i uses dual cameras and stereo imaging techniques to offer a
number of enhanced video conferencing capabilities. Founded on new
computer algorithms, invented by the i2i team, the technology provides
a virtual personal camera operator that tracks the user, panning and
zooming in real time to improve the quality of visual communication.
In addition, the technology can dynamically replace the background of
a scene to make a user appear to be in a different location. i2i also
introduces the concept of 3D Emoticons that takes traditional
emoticons found in e-mail and messenger products to the next level by
allowing three-dimensional objects to be inserted into a scene, such
as a light bulb of inspiration that floats above the user's head.

Shirky: stupid (c) laws block me from publishing own work online
Clay Shirky tells Boing
Boing:
Welcome to the Copyfight. So, at Etech this year, I
gave a talk entitled
Ontology is Overrated. I want to put a transcript up online, and
Mary Hodder, who recorded the talk, graciously agreed to give me a
copy of the video.
When she came by NYC last week, she dropped off a DVD, which I then
wanted to convert to AVI (the format used by my transcription
service.) I installed ffmpeg and tried to convert the material, at
which point I got an error message which read "To comply with
copyright laws, DVD device input is not allowed." Except, of course,
there are no copyright laws at issue here, since I'M THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDER.
Got that? I am in possession of a video, of me, shot by a friend,
copied to a piece of physical media given to me as a gift. In the
video, I am speaking words written by me, and for which I am the clear
holder of the copyright. I am working with said video on a machine I
own. Every modern legal judgment concerning copyright, from the Berne
Convention to the Betamax case, is on my side. AND I CAN'T MAKE A COPY
DIRECTLY FROM THE DEVICE. This is because copyright laws do not exist
to defend the moral rights of copyright holders -- they exist to help
enforce artificial scarcity.
Copyright holders in my position, who want to use Creative Commons
licensing to share material, are treated as pathological cases,
because we're not behaving in the extortionate manner that current
regulations are designed to protect.
I've gotten the copy another way, and the transcript will go up,
but this is the state of the world, circa 2005: I can be prevented
from copying my own words from my own devices, precisely because I
want to share them freely, a use the law is perfectly prepared to
regard as irrelevant.
Yes. Welcome to the
copyfight. The scary thing is that more and more people are beginning
to think it is NORMAL not to be able to do what Clay is upset about
not being able to do.

09/25/2004 06:10 AMNIH Proposes Free Access To Research Data
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A64389-2004Sep5.html
The National Institutes of Health has proposed a
major change to its funding policy -- it would mandate that all
scientists who receive grants from the agency make the results of
their research available to the public for free. The policy change
comes in response to a report by the House Appropriations Committee
expressing concern that U.S. taxpayers are not reaping the benefits of
research that they have paid for. The report urges NIH to devise a
system whereby research results would be "freely and continuously
available no later than six months after publication." The proposal
drew swift criticism from the scientific publishing industry, which
argued that if people stop subscribing to their publications because
they can read about these research results for free, the journals will
be unable to perform the costly process of selecting, peer-reviewing
and editing the results into the reliable products now available.
However, NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni says he's concluded that
publishers' estimates of how much such a system would harm them or
cost the government were "way out of line" with reality. Although
about 60,000 articles are published each year reporting on NIH-funded
research, they constitute only a third of all biomedical journal
articles. "Do you really think people are not going to subscribe to a
journal because they can read 30% of the articles in it for free?"
asks Richard Roberts, a research director at New England Biolabs, who
strongly supports the shift to open access.
