Bringing the Semantic Web home: a research agenda for local, personalized SWUI
No full textWe suggest that by taking the Semantic Web local and personal, and deploying it as a shared "data sea" for all applications to trawl, new types of interaction are possible (even necessitated) with this heterogeneous source integration. We present a motivating scenario to foreground the kind of interaction we envision as possible, and outline a series of associated questions about data integration issues, and in particular about the interaction challenges fostered by these new possibilities. We sketch out some early approaches to these questions, but our goal is to identify a wider field of questions for the SWUI community in considering the implications of a local/social semantic web, not just a public one, for interaction
Information scraps: how and why information eludes our personal information management tools
No full textIn this paper we describe information scraps -- a class of personal information whose content is scribbled on Post-it notes, scrawled on corners of random sheets of paper, buried inside the bodies of e-mail messages sent to ourselves, or typed haphazardly into text files. Information scraps hold our great ideas, sketches, notes, reminders, driving directions, and even our poetry. We define information scraps to be the body of personal information that is held outside of its natural or We have much still to learn about these loose forms of information capture. Why are they so often held outside of our traditional PIM locations and instead on Post-its or in text files? Why must we sometimes go around our traditional PIM applications to hold on to our scraps, such as by e-mailing ourselves? What are information scraps' role in the larger space of personal information management, and what do they uniquely offer that we find so appealing? If these unorganized bits truly indicate the failure of our PIM tools, how might we begin to build better tools? We have pursued these questions by undertaking a study of 27 knowledge workers. In our findings we describe information scraps from several angles: their content, their location, and the factors that lead to their use, which we identify as ease of capture, flexibility of content and organization, and avilability at the time of need. We also consider the personal emotive responses around scrap management. We present a set of design considerations that we have derived from the analysis of our study results. We present our work on an application platform, jourknow, to test some of these design and usability findings
Personalized Experiences for End-User Programming on the Web
No full textIn this position paper we explore current work in AtomsMasher, an end-user reactive programming environment for the Web, highlight ongoing work in user interface design, privacy, and sharing, and look towards a future of extending end-user programming from simple tasks to complete experiences
Wicked Problems and Gnarly Results: Reflecting on Design and Evaluation Methods for Idiosyncratic Personal Information Management Tasks
No full textThis paper is a case study of an artifact design and evaluation process; it is a reflection on how right thinking about design methods may at times result in sub-optimal results. Our goal has been to assess our decision making process throughout the design and evaluation stages for a software prototype in order to consider where design methodology may need to be tuned to be more sensitive to the domain of practice, in this case software evaluation in personal information management. In particular, we reflect on design methods around (1) scale of prototype, (2) prototyping and design process, (3) study design, and (4) study population

Pseudotrisomy 13: Clinical findings and genetic implications
No full textThe combination of holoprosencephaly, postaxial polydactyly, and normal karyotype has been termed pseudotrisomy 13 syndrome. Here, we report the prenatal diagnosis of pseudotrisomy 13 in three siblings suggesting autosomal recessive inheritance of this syndrome. Clinical overlap with hydrolethalus syndrome, Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, Meckel syndrome, and Pallister-Hall syndrome is discussed. Copyright (c) 2005 S. Karger AG, Basel

Simplifying knowledge acquisition from end-users on the semantic web
No full textIn this position paper, we argue that improved mechanisms for knowledge acquisition on the semantic web (SW) will be necessary before it will be adopted widely by end-users. In particular, we propose an investigation surrounding improved languages for knowledge exchange, better UI mechanisms for interaction, and potential help from user modeling to enable accurate, efficient, SW knowledge modeling for everyone.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in Molise, a central-southern region of Italy: An epidemiological study
No full textAn epidemiological survey of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) was conducted in Molise, a central-southern region of Italy, from March 1998 to June 2000. Fifty-eight cases of CMT in 13 unrelated families were identified within the selected area. The prevalence of all subtypes of CMT was 17.5/100,000. All families underwent a biomolecular analysis to disclose the duplication at gene locus 17p11.2 in order to ascertain the diagnosis of CMT type 1A. Our data revealed that 64% of all the observed patients had CMT1A, thus confirming the high prevalence of duplication of the 17p11.2 locus. Copyright (C) 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel
