Digital Public Spaces. This publication gathers a range of short explorations of the idea of the Digital Public Space.

Digital Public Spaces

The central vision of the Digital Public Space is to give everyone everywhere unrestricted access to an open resource of culture and knowledge. This vision has emerged from ideas around building platforms for engagement around cultural archives to become something wider, which this publication is seeking to hone and explore. This is the first publication to look at the emergence of the Digital Public Space. Contributors include some of the people who are working to make the Digital Public Space happen. The Digital Public Spaces publication has been developed byFutureEverything working with Bill Thompson of the BBC and in association with The Creative Exchange.

Y es que una de las "partidas" de un potencial estratégico manifiesto que se han producido durante las últimas décadas, ha sido la que el Software Libre ha librado contra el software privativo de grandes empresas como Microsoft. Ref2RIS: Importing Word-Processed Bibliographies into Bibliographic Management Software. By Deborah Fitchett Introduction Bibliographic management software helps users download and organise large amounts of citation data and quickly format references and bibliographies that would take hours to write manually.

Ref2RIS: Importing Word-Processed Bibliographies into Bibliographic Management Software

Academic libraries commonly encourage students and academics to use such software – the University of Canterbury Library, for example, provides particular support for Endnote although some users instead use BibTeX, Zotero, or Mendeley among others. Other users have manually maintained (sometimes for decades) bibliographies in a typed Word document, and are unwilling to make the shift to Endnote if it means individually retyping or downloading citations for hundreds of references. They need a user-friendly tool to convert their existing bibliography from a word processing format into a format that can be imported to bibliographic management software. Existing Tools Parsing the citations is a second approach, essentially automating the remapping process. Ref2RIS 1. 2. 3. 4.

Before the crowd, the physicist John Ambrose Fleming was adjusting arcane apparatus as he prepared to demonstrate an emerging technological wonder: a long-range wireless communication system developed by his boss, the Italian radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi. The aim was to showcase publicly for the first time that Morse code messages could be sent wirelessly over long distances. Yet before the demonstration could begin, the apparatus in the lecture theatre began to tap out a message.

It had all started in 1887 when Heinrich Hertz proved the existence of the electromagnetic waves predicted by James Clerk Maxwell in 1865. He didn't have to wait long. Paul Graham: Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age (2004. 29 December 2011, dusan We are living in the computer age, in a world increasingly designed and engineered by computer programmers and software designers, by people who call themselves hackers.

Your phone has turned into a computer. Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age, by Paul Graham, explains this world and the motivations of the people who occupy it.

Plusieurs points ont retenu mon attention. Sur mes récentes préoccupations liées à la mythologie des grands nombres, on a une confirmation supplémentaire que nous sommes entrés dans l'ère des "zettabyte" Mais au milieu de ce flot immense, une vague prend naissance qui impacte radicalement la nature même de l'internet : "From 2000 to 2008, peer-to-peer file sharing dominated Internet traffic. As a result, the majority of Internet traffic did not touch a data center, but was communicated directly between Internet users. Et de poursuivre : "Data center traffic will continue to dominate Internet traffic for the foreseeable future, but the nature of data center traffic will undergo a fundamental transformation brought about by cloud applications, services, and infrastructure.
