Anis sent in two URLs, related to the semantic web (although I couldn't get the first to work...it appears to require the flash plug-in):

Here is the paper I mentioned in class today. It is called "Unifying Strategies for Web Augmentation" and it presents a framework for understanding all the different ways that open hypermedia can be integrated into the World Wide Web. Please take a look at it and send a short summary of the paper (no more than one page) to me via e-mail.

I made a mistake this week and forgot to post the link to the Open Hypermedia background paper before class. Sorry about that! The link is below...please review it for next week's class.

Here is the paper I mentioned at the end of class, last week. It is called the "Flag Taxonomy of Open Hypermedia Systems" and should provide some background for Wednesday's lecture on Open Hypermedia. Please read it, and send me a short summary plus any questions that you have after reading it (by Wednesday morning, if possible.)

Note: Our Manilla weblog is somewhat broken...I haven't been able to configure the discussion group correctly, or get a link to it to appear on the homepage. I'm going to try to get that fixed today. Patience!

The bibliography has been updated with two essential XML-related URLs. One takes you to the W3C page on XML, which provides access to a lot of different XML standards, while the second URL points to one of the better websites that tackles XML as a topic.

Assignment 1, creating a weblog, is now available. It just documents what I said in class yesterday.

I just noticed, I linked to the Netcraft webserver survey from the course announcement. If you wanted more information on the survey, be sure to check it out!

12:03:06 PM

I have updated the evaluation criteria section of the website. FYI.

11:51:39 AM

With respect to class presentations: You are more than welcome to use my laptop to give your presentation. Just send me your presentation (Powerpoint, PDF, and HTML only please), the night before class (or at least in the morning before class)!

11:50:53 AM

The class schedule has been slightly updated. Next week's intro lecture will be on XML.

11:26:42 AM

I really enjoyed the class yesterday and I hope you did too. I have placed the URLs that I discussed at the end of class in the Course Bibliography (which, like a weblog, is organized in a time-based manner!). I have also placed a link to V. Bush's "As We May Think" in the bibliography. Read this paper and send me a short summary of/reaction to this paper via e-mail before the next class session. Your summary can be brief...but not too brief! As a guideline, if you were to print your message it should fill about 3/4 of a page.

A course announcement is now available.

1:12:27 PM

This website is coming on-line. (I'm working on my class websites early this year!) The information on this website is preliminary until I post a message saying otherwise. Stay Tuned for a course announcement!
