More content and streams of data – these online environments require a better understanding of what being ‘online’ means!

information access and sharing

Wonderful world of….

learning today requires that teachers and school librarians understand reading and information seeking in a connected world....

More content, streams of data, topic structures, (theoretically) better quality - all of these in online environments require an equivalent shift in our capacity to understand information structures.

How does search impact the way students think and the way we

organise information access?

Search is fast without necessarily being safe or intelligent

How much does Google really

know about us, in practical terms,

and — more importantly —

how much should we care?

Web 3.0 refers to a third generation of internet-based services that collectively may allow the emergence of the

intelligent semantic web.

The semantic web, or web 3.0, is all about data integration.

it is an infrastructure technology

and an organised approach to metadata

The semantic web allows a person or a computer to start off in one database, and then move through an unending set

of databases which are connected, not by wires, but by

being about the same thing.

This is where complexity theory doesn’t quite cut it!

Rather than just identifying keywords and expressions,

the semantic web concentrates on identifying

the meaning of content.

It is about common formats and

metadata which allow for integration and combination of

linked data drawn from diverse sources.

It is also about language, or ontology, for recording how the linked data relates to real world objects, allowing a ‘machine’ to

‘understand’ the semantic meaning of words.

Linked Open Data on the Web. The site currently contains metadata on 3.5 million texts, images, videos and sounds.

HOW does this work?

CHARLES STURT UNIVERSITY

Whereas traditional library metadata has always been focused on helping humans find and make use of information, linked data ontologies are focused on helping machines find and make use of information.

linkeddata.org schema.org/

This uri ‘http://id.loc.gov/authorities/sh85042531’ has now become the globally available, machine and human readable, reliable source for the description for the subject heading of ‘Elephants’ containing links to its related terms (in a way that both machines and humans can navigate).

Information Architecture

!

Making it possible to federate, query, browse, gather and recommend information from disparate sources.

!

Think of the Web 3.0 environment as the portable, personal web,

focused on the individual, on a life-stream, on consolidating

content, and which is powered by widgets, drag & drop, and

mashups of user engagement.

!

This socially powered web is exploding, and is the new

baseline for all our internet and technology empowered

interactions.

!

Another feature of our hyper-connected

systems is the democratisation of information

organisation and access.

DATA is the NEW BLACK

This is our context!

Metadata ~ what are the rules of engagement? Schema ~ what about controlled vocabularies? Users ~ what are their access needs Interface ~ how many access points? Data ~ what are the opportunities for user engagement? Media ~ what are the elements of interactivity? Access ~ what can we learn from the semantic web?

.... old questions, new answers

.... what is your discovery interface!

Context aware: • Points on the curriculum • Points on the interest continuum • Capacity to support learning discovery!

Access aware: •Interfaces to support searching and discovery

Search aware: • Natural, predictive, responsive

Results aware: • Multimodal and multi-depository • Relevant, filtered

How do you stack up?

This is our context!

.... your information services reality

Resource Description and Analysis (RDA) as the power tool behind information organisation

• RDA emphasizes the importance of relationships

• RDA adds precision to access points • RDA provides greater internationalisation • RDA builds a display of results that conveys

meaningful information to the user

This is your context!
