PUBLIC MARKS with search terms

A while back I wrote a little RDF vocab that extended the 2006 vCard vocab. It introduces a few extra terms which I thought were useful, mostly taken from the vCard 4.0 drafts at the time. e.g. a "lang" property to indicate languages spoken by the person represented. One other thing it has though is a more vCard-like way of representing telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc.

Some of you don't read "Terms for widgets" carefully when uploading, or read it once and don't check it for changes every time you upload or update a widget. Well, you really should.

Opera Widget isn't the Apple Store or Android Market

The document is currently over 930 pages when printed "letter" size. The first complaint I get from implementors wanting to review the specification is that it is unreviewable: too long, to complex, too difficult to review individual sections, too difficult to find the definition of terms, or where things are used.

TextSTAT is a concordance program which was designed to be user friendly and provide simple Internet functionality. Texts can be combined to form corpora (which can also be stored as such). The program analyses these text corpora and displays word frequency lists and concordances to search terms. The program is written in Python and offered here as a Windows program. TextSTAT is freeware.

Mobile phones are becoming increasingly personalized in terms of the data they store and the types of services they provide. At the same time, field studies have reported that there are a variety of situations in which it is natural for people to share their phones with others. However, most mobile phones support a binary security model that offers all-or-nothing access to the phone.

GoodRelations is a lightweight ontology for annotating offerings on the Web. It is to our knowledge the first non-toy vocabulary for describing the types of goods and terms and conditions of items and services offered on the Web. The GoodRelations ontology complements products and services ontologies, like eClassOWL, by providing the vocabulary for expressing things like

that a particular Web site describes an offer to sell cellphones of a certain make and model at a certain price,

that a pianohouse offers maintenance for pianos that weigh less than 150 kg,

or that a car rental company leases out cars of a certain make and model from a particular set of branches across the country.

The term locative media refers generally to the communication technologies involving location; ie, those providing a link or information relating to a specific place via devices such as GPS, mobile telephones or PDAs, laptop computers or wireless networks. These media are now fully integrated into our daily lives and lead to a whole series of social, professional and cultural routines. Likewise, they have catalysed a certain level of curiosity and concern both in terms of artistic practice and academic study. In this issue of Artnodes, we want to contribute to the academic debate on locative media. We focus specifically on artistic projects that use these media for distinct aims, from political activism to games, or the different ways of appropriating these technologies. This allows us to see, from a conceptual perspective, that all these projects share an idea of the notion of space: how it is ordered, how it is represented, or what kind of social interaction takes place there. These are the underlying questions in each and every one of these locative media projects.

Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) is a mathematical method that tries to bring out latent relationships within a collection of documents. Rather than looking at each document isolated from the others it looks at all the documents as a whole and the terms within them to identify relationships.
