    Library Science Talk: "Linked Happily Ever After" - Ruben Verborgh, Ghent University, Belgium

    Ruben Verborgh will talk about "Linked Happily Ever After". Abstract: Linked Data has become an inevitable reality for many libraries. And that is a good thing, because it enables data integration at a scale that was not possible before. At the same time, it also comes with many challenges. What are the “good” ways of doing Linked Data? How can we do it efficiently, at a reasonable cost? And of course: how can we ensure that the efforts we do today pay off in the future? This last question is the main focus of this talk. I will explain what sustainability means in the context of Linked Data, and on which constants we can rely within an ever changing technological landscape. Expect a mix of vision and concrete advice, but mostly solid, down-to-earth discussions on what Linked Data will mean for libraries now and in the future. The talk will be followed by a panel discussion with: Beat Estermann, deputy head of the research unit Linked & Open Data at the E-Government Institute of the Bern University of Applied Sciences. René Schneider, Professor for Information Science, Haute Ecole de Gestion, Geneva About the speaker: Ruben Verborgh is a researcher in semantic hypermedia at Ghent University – iMinds, Belgium and a postdoctoral fellow of the Research Foundation Flanders. He explores the connection between Semantic Web technologies and the Web’s architectural properties, with the ultimate goal of building more intelligent clients. Along the way, he became fascinated by Linked Data, REST/hypermedia, Web APIs, and related topics. The talk will take place on Monday 5 December at 1530 in the Room Georges Charpak (Room F). The talk is part of the series of "Library Science Talks" jointly organized by the Zentralbibliothek Zurich, CERN and the Association of International Librarians and Information Specialists (AILIS)

    The organisers have asked Kjetil Kjernsmo to prepare an interview around his submission about an epistemological discussion around Semantic Web research. Together with one of the reviewers, Ruben Verborgh, he examined his contribution in this new format with success. The questions of the audience were answered during the succeeding discussion section

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Present : Loïc Charles, Guillaume Daudin, Paul Girard, Guillaume Plique 1) We still have not found a solution for a shared backed up storage space. We are still looking. 2) OpenRefine confirms it is very useful for the project (see http://www.amazon.fr/Using-OpenRefine-Ruben-Verborgh/dp/1783289082). 3) Loïc discusses the data he has found in Rouen. It is a very good quality -- and includes some Caen numbers. He suggests we should leave Dardel's notes and use the existing original data either...
