Why I Can’t Love the Homemade Semantic Web
Full text linkCitation: Bengtson, Jason. "Why I Can't Love the Homemade Semantic Web." B Sides Jan (2010) : n. pag. Web.Almost all information professionals agree that the web needs to move to a semantic structure. While work is proceeding in this area, movements to get individual web authors to use semantic markup tools have also been on the rise. This author argues that such efforts are ill conceived and he proposes an automated alternative
Imagining Emergent Metadata, Realizing the Emergent Web
Full text linkCitation: Bengtson, Jason. "Imagining Emergent Metadata, Realizing the Emergent Web." Journal of Library Metadata 12.4 (2012) : 345-361. Print.While metadata is a key ingredient of machine-semantic technologies, it has drawbacks. As it is currently formed, metadata lacks dynamic responsiveness and requires top-down system modeling. The author proposes a schema and process of emergent metadata that will, if successful, allow metadata to respond to environmental conditions dynamically and to exhibit self-organizational features

The Semantic Revolution
Full text linkCitation: Bengtson, Jason. "The Semantic Revolution." Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries 15.1 (2015) : 72-82. Print.Semantic technologies are in the process of revolutionizing the way we store, access, and communicate digital information. It is vital that information professionals be conversant in the foundational concepts upon which these technologies are based. This article uses two implementations of semantic technologies, the semantic web and the Semantic MEDLINE project, to introduce the key ideas of semantic technologies to readers
Seven Things Every Information Professional Needs to Know About Consumer Technologies
Full text linkCitation: Bengtson, Jason. "Seven Things Every Information Professional Needs to Know About Consumer Technologies." Journal of Hospital Librarianship 14.4 (2014) : 395-401. Print.The consumer space has, in recent years, greatly surpassed the enterprise space as a place to find the latest trends and innovations. In fact, businesses have increasingly begun to interface actively with consumer computing, with concepts such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). Hospital librarians should familiarize themselves with some of the key trends in the consumer space to better engage with their patrons, including physicians bringing their personal devices into the workspace
The Art of Redirection: One Library's Experiences and Statistical Results From the Deployment of Mobile Redirect Script
Full text linkCitation: Bengtson, Jason. "The Art of Redirection: One Library's Experiences and Statistical Results from the Deployment of Mobile Redirect Script." Journal of Hospital Librarianship 12.3 (2012) : 191-198. PrintAlthough institutions have produced a proliferation of mobile Web sites to respond to the increased demand for mobile resources, getting mobile device users to those sites has proven to be an issue. One simple method involves the use of script that automatically redirects mobile devices from an institution's regular Web site to a mobile site. This article documents the experience of the University of New Mexico's Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center with its mobile redirect strategy. The strategy is presented here in its evolving entirety, along with statistics of Web site usage to evaluate the success of the effort
Quantum Technology and the Medical Librarian
Full text linkCitation: Bengtson, Jason. “Quantum Technology and the Medical Librarian." Journal of Hospital Librarianship 15.3 (2015) : 326-333. Print.Some of the most exciting areas of computing research are quantum technologies. Relying on the counterintuitive laws which govern matter and energy at the smallest levels, quantum physics provides bold new answers to problems which current digital technologies cannot effectively solve. This article discusses the basis of these technologies and introduces two ways in which they may practically impact the environment of the medical librarian in the coming years as the technologies become more mature. By understanding something of these technologies and how they may manifest themselves in hospital or other healthcare environments, the hospital librarian can help prepare themselves for this exciting future
Scaling Into the Future With Smartlinks
Full text linkCitation: Bengtson, Jason. "Scaling Into the Future with Smart Links." Journal of Hospital Librarianship 12.4 (2012) : 378-383. PrintThe mobile revolution has changed the digital landscape in profound ways and it can be a struggle to keep up. A proliferation of websites have sprung up designed around the special needs of mobile devices; needs which include small screens, touch interaction, and limited bandwidth and processing power. By far the most commonly seen solution is for organizations or individuals seeking to be "mobile friendly" to create a "mobile site" mirroring their regular website. These mobile sites often showcase resources and features that would (or so the designers believe) be of particular interest to mobile users, packaged in Web design built around mobile device features. A persistent challenge is getting visitors to those sites, as anyone who has read my article about mobile redirect scripts knows. The approach to mobile, however, is evolving
AI in the ER: What Is Watson and What Does It Mean for Medical Librarianship?
Full text linkCitation: Bengtson, Jason. "AI in the ER: What Is Watson and What Does It Mean for Medical Librarianship?" Journal of Hospital Librarianship 11.3 (2011) : 289-293. Print.It runs on ten server racks, has natural language analysis capability and recently won a Jeopardy! Tournament where it was pitted against two champions. If you answered, “What is Watson”, you would be correct, but you probably didn’t answer in time to beat the new champ. Watson, the latest incarnation of IBM’s Deep Blue research project, recently astonished the Jeopardy! audience with its performance. This was a watershed moment in artificial intelligenceresearch because it required not only analytical reasoning skills (of the same sort that enabled IBM’s Deep Blue to become a chess champion), but also natural language processing skills. Simply gathering data and organizing it is nothing new for a computer system, but being able to apply a solid level of semantic reasoning to complex natural language questions is a much more challenging goal. By coupling sophisticated natural language recognition with the brute power of modern digital computing, Watson was able to handily defeat human opponents
