Web impact factor and link analysis of selected Indian universities
Full text linkInvestigates the effectiveness and relevance of web impact factors (WIFs) for the Indian university websites. The article reviews web impact factor critically on how this link-based metrics developed and applied. Reports the case study of universities in West Bengal. SocSciBot 3.0 is used to generate link data in order to develop micro-link topology under study. Result shows that all the NITs are closely related in the topology framework/their activities whereas nodes are not linked significantly for the case of state universities and central universities

Metada initiatives and emerging technologies to improve resource discovery
Full text linkAnnals of Library and Information Studies. Vol.57(1),March 2010, p.44-53This paper recognizes some emerging issues on metadata as a mechanism of resource discovery and its impact on precision of search results in a distributed network environment. It aims to present a brief account of the major metadata initiatives taken during the last couple of years, thus provide glimpses of recent activities on metadata across the globe. It also highlights a consistent growth of multiple metadata standards to meet the variety of needs in a hierarchy of complexity. The paper examines various metadata-harvesting tools and related technologies that fulfill the task implicit in a user’s search. Discussion brings out some popular standards, useful protocols, and open-source harvesters along with their intrinsic capabilities for harvesting and presenting metadata. It also emphasizes on a variety of metadata services viz., OCLC’s metalogue service, UKOLN metadata editor service, OAIster harvester service, DP9 gateway service, etc. that are predominantly used in different metadata communities. Attempt has been made to explore the underlying principles of metadata-harvesting in DSpace and web search engines. It also seems imperative to make a discussion on the use of multiple metadata formats in DSpace enabled archives for exposing domain-specific metadata; and subsequently evaluates the inherent mechanism for extensibility and interoperability functions. Thus it proposes various means of creating metadata in order to pursue high-precision document retrieval in dynamic collections. Finally it notices semantic web technologies that could bring a reasonable solution towards the integrated use of specialized metadata for long-term management and preservation of digital objects
Linked Data: a best practice for better knowledge transaction
Full text linkIn recent years there has been much spoken, written and published
about the semantic web. The main goal of this future web is to make it
understandable to the machines. The traditional web is taken as a global
document space where the documents are interlinked by using the hypertext
links. The big question of interlinking data is still there. The fundamental
prerequisite of the semantic web is the existence of large amount of
meaningfully interlinked RDF data on the web. To date this prerequisite has not
been widely met, leading to criticism of the broader endeavour and hindering
the progress of developers wishing to build Semantic Web applications.
Currently many attempts are going on to bring this data on Web like the Open
Data movement which tries to bring the royalty free datasets into RDF data and
interlinks them. Linked Data is about using the Web to connect related data that
wasn’t previously linked, or using the Web to lower the barriers to linking data
currently linked using other methods. These best practices could lead to better
knowledge transactions in the future.
This paper discusses the concept and technical principles of Linked Data by
describing the underlying architecture, tools and frameworks available in the
context of Linked Data
