04/15/2004 01:03 PMThe distance between theory and practice is always so much smaller in
theory than in practice. I spotted this as a sig on an email from
Christian Traue on Dave Farber's IP list recently and loved it. How
true, and how applicable to so many areas of life, as well as recent
current affairs....

Web Services Theory and Practice
04/27/2004 09:00 AMI look at the
confusing landscape
where the “Web Services” flags fly, and I see some things that
are proven good practice, and some other things that are mostly
theory. I think we could all be saner about all this if were careful
to distinguish between theory and practice...

deployed at an enterprise. While the number deployed will certainly
vary from organization to organization, still there should be some
rules that tend to support either a single forest or dozens.

06/11/2004 12:07 AMD. Keith Robinson is Sick of Web Standards, and to a certain extent, so am I. Like
Keith, I'm not sick of standards themselves; I've been using them for
over two years now and couldn't conceive of developing without them.
Unlike Keith, I'm not tired of advocating them - but I thoroughly
believe that it's time to extend the discussion.
As web developers and designers, we face an abundance of
challenges. Sites must be fast, accessible, usable, well designed, findable and search engine friendly, with
smart URLs, well managed communities and maybe even a sense
of humour. Most of us find ourselves taking on the role of copy editors, programmers, designers, information
architects, and much, much more. In addition, we frequently run in
to problems that have no correct answer (font sizing is a classic
example). Trade-offs have become a way of life.
It's time to extend the discussion. Web standards are a
small but vital part of a larger solution, something I like to think
of as web development best practice. Let's face it:
web standards are boring! Focusing discussions on them is like taking
cooking lessons from a chef who only ever talks about food safety;
sure they're important, but there's so much more involved in creating
a decent meal.
There are plenty of benefits of re-framing web standards
in the larger context of best practice. Firstly, discussions get a lot
more interesting - as I've just demonstrated, there are enough facets
to creating effective sites to keep us talking for years to come.
Secondly, wrapping web standards in the larger context of industry
best practices makes them a much easier pill to swallow. "Our site
doesn't validate" is a turn-off. "Let's follow industry best practice"
is far more appealing.
As a community, we need to work together to discover the
best ways of doing things. We've discovered web standards: let's move
forward to the other pieces of the puzzle.

Web standards: practice what you preach?
01/28/2004 02:33 PMThis post about web standards struck a chord wih
me. Because I promote
TopStyle as a tool for building standards-compliant sites, I
frequently get email reporting that my own site doesn't validate.
However, the reason it doesn't validate is quite simple. My site
uses Atomz search, and Atomz offers
proprietary elements which control how a site is indexed. For
example, Atomz won't index anything wrapped in
<noindex>..</noindex>. I use
noindex elements on every page to skip indexing the
navigation links, which causes the W3C's validator to complain that my
site isn't valid XHTML. This inevitably leads to email from people
calling me a hypocrite.
Now, I'm all for web standards. I've been creating sites since
1995, and I've learned the hard way how writing browser-specific code
leads to problems down the road. However, I consider
standards-compliance a goal, not a requirement.
Limiting the usefulness of my site's search feature just to make it
100% valid XHTML seems way over the top.
Standards-compliance isn't an uncomprising religion, but rather a
practical business decision that must be weighed alongside the other
goals of your site.

Journal of Research Practice (JRP)
Journal of Research Practice (JRP)
03/19/2005 02:27 AMJournal of Research Practice (JRP)http://jrp.icaap.org/The
Journal of Research Practice (JRP) seeks to develop our understanding
of research as a type of practice, so as to extend and enhance that
practice in the future. The Journal aims to highlight the dynamics of
research practice, as it unfolds in the life of a researcher, in the
growth and decline of a field, and in relation to a changing social
and institutional environment. The Journal welcomes deliberation on
the basic issues and challenges encountered by researchers in any
specific domain. The Journal aims to explore why and how different
activities, criteria, methods, and languages become part of research
practice in any domain. This is expected to trigger inter-disciplinary
dialogue, mutual learning, facilitate research education, and promote
innovations in different fields. The Journal's scope is not defined in
terms of academic disciplines. It cuts across disciplines and fields
by drawing out the living dimensions of research unfolding through
history, culture, research communities, professions, and of course the
lives of individual researchers. The Journal seeks to study the
evolving patterns of thinking and practice that underlie open inquiry
in any domain. The scope also includes topics such as research
training, research design, research utilisation, research policy, and
innovative forms of research. The Journal targets all researchers,
scholars, research-inclined professionals, and research students,
irrespective of their disciplinary background. It seeks to attract
reflective articles on the dynamics and challenges of research
practice in context, as well as articles presenting experiences and
learning from research carried out in an innovative way. In order to
promote wider participation in these deliberations, JRP will be
published electronically in the open-access mode. This has been added
