Open Source Content Management Software : A Comparative Analysis

Giri, Kaushal K; Nirgude, Kirti R (INFLIBNET Center, NaN, NaN)

[more]

[less]

Abstract:

There are many web-authoring software like FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc which have been used to develop and maintain the websites. But gradually, it became difficult to maintain and update the websites because of their very dynamic nature and a variety of file formats. Content Management Systems (CMS) evolved as an alternative to such web-authoring tools. There are many CMS Like Joomla, Drupal, Mambo, Pligg, Plone, Post Nuke, Tweak, Zope etc., but this paper deals with a comparative analysis between Joomla and Drupal. The goal of this comparative study is to find the better CMS of the two according to various selected criteria. The criteria includes installation, platform support, browser support, modules and extensions, documentation, support, user management, multimedia integration, content creation and searching.

Interactive Information Dissemination: Web 2.0 and Beyond

Haneefa K, Mohamed (INFLIBNET Center, February 25, 2009)

Abstract:

The World Wide Web is relying on many technologies to build rich interfaces and applications which enable enhanced interactions and social networking. With the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies, it has become easy to seek information interactively and making appointments effectively. Whilst the underlying technologies in Web 2.0 applications like JavaScript, XML, ASP.Net, PHP/Perl, MySQL, etc., are not new, the creative combination of these technologies gave the web a live and full interactivity for dealing with data. AJAX applications have received wide-spread attention as a new way to develop highly interactive web applications. Mashups enables web users to generate web applications that combine content from multiple sources, and provide them as unique services that suit their information needs. This paper explores the interactive web technologies such as AJAX, Mashups, Web Feed, RSS, Atom, Enterprise 2.0 and Web 3.0.

An Approach for Generic Information Query Retrieval in Web2.0

Thippeswamy, K; Hanumanthappa, J; Manjaiah, D H (INFLIBNET Center, February 25, 2009)

[more]

[less]

Abstract:

With the growing amount of information in various domains, retrieval and analysis is the most frequently used operation. Various institutions/organizations generate valuable information in various domains which is queried and analyzed by users for various purposes. Most of the applications performing these tasks are predominantly database driven and tightly coupled with the system. This limits the possibilities of seamless database integration with other sources of knowledge and also their ability to adopt to changes in the information structures. We describe a generic approach comprising a loosely coupled system with an ability to perform complex querying, analysis and seamless integration with other systems, both off line and over Internet.

[more]

[less]

Abstract:

The paper describes some recent projects and developments at the Library of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). To support and assist learning and research the Library has introduced new resource discovery services, the Beta Catalogue and Cross Searcher federated search engine. There is close collaboration between the Library and LSE Centre for Learning Technology to provide online information skills training via Moodle. The LASSIE project has investigated the use of social software in libraries. LSE Library staffs are gradually introducing social software into their work. The LSE Institutional Repository, LSE Research Online, is managed by a team of Library staff. Two projects, VERSIONS and VIF, have explored the issue of uncertainty around different versions of an academic paper. The NEEO project has developed an open access repository for the research output of European economists. The digitisation of print collections is at an early stage.

Abstract:

Web 2.0 technologies provide opportunities in various ways to add value to e-services to the world. This term Web 2.0 is widely used to cover a lot of different things especially online on the Internet. These push technologies open new challenges for Library applications too. These powerful e-services reflecting the 2.0 movement integrate dissimilar data to make it more focused for user needs, integrate data within specific user tasks, facilitate collaboration and team use of information, and allow creation of new information and value by users online. However, RSS is one of the easiest and most seamless ways to connect and be informed. RSS (Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is basically a format to deliver updated Web content. This paper describes the implementation of RSS 2.0 feed into an online information Gateway in a local Intranet environment thoroughly. Implementation of RSS feed provides news and information merely not static but also with a click. This paper highlights the features and technologies being used for implementation in a closed intranet environment.

Web 2.0 in LIS Curriculum :A Preliminary Study

Srivastava, Ravija (INFLIBNET Center, February 25, 2009)

[more]

[less]

Abstract:

LIS schools today face a greater challenge in updating their curriculum to accommodate the new technological innovations, necessitated by the market demands. Web 2.0 applications have not only transformed the nature of scholarly communication but is constantly reshaping the ways in which users search, find, access and utilize the information with the help of tools facilitated by open source software and user friendly web programming languages including AJAX. This preliminary survey shows how well the latest technologies are getting embedded into daily library services for the benefit of users and the feasibility of their coverage in LIS curriculum, with reference to Mumbai libraries. Practicing librarians are struggling everyday to keep themselves up-to-date with new Web 2.0 resources and utilities, to implement the same in their personal and professional work domains and hence expect the fresh graduates to be skilled with requisite technical competency to meet the challenges of the growing market demands. As for the LIS schools, bridging the gap between traditional librarianship and modern technologies will forever be a challenging issue.

Aiding Research and Electronic Content Discovery through Meta-search based on Open Source Initiatives

D’mello, Collin; Jha, Amit (INFLIBNET Center., February 25, 2009)

[more]

[less]

Abstract:

The goal of electronic content discovery with Metasearching is to investigate issues related to locating, retrieving, and promulgating information in large networked environments. The Internet and WWW provide a challenging environment for deployment of these services. The needs of information publishers - to maximize audience reach - and the user - to minimize information overload - require advanced technical solutions and investigative research. As the deep web of information grows at an exponential rate, efforts to make the technology more manageable and affordable are highly in demand. Applying advanced information retrieval techniques i.e. meta-search and open link resolver are some approach to such efforts. In this paper we present our attempt to apply open source initiatives for retrieval model based on NISO Standards, relevance mechanisms and a meta search technique as an integrated electronic resource discovery system for the Deep Web. This paper discusses challenges and issues involved in Meta-Searching, as well as practical issues such as retrieval effectiveness, usability and scalability.

Preservation of Cinema as Cultural Heritage of a Nation with Special Reference toIndia

Pahari, Sanjukta Ray (INFLIBNET Center, February 25, 2009)

[more]

[less]

Abstract:

Much of what a man is pertains to his imagination. Indeed, imaginary are his hopes, his intentions, his ideas of himself. People dream of their lives and live on their dreams. The dividing line between living and dreaming is not always clear. Films are collective dream of society. They provide society with mythologies or patterns of behaviour. However, the mass appeal of the movies is a clear indication that most people today respond in one way or another to the dream like fantasies projected on the screen. It is necessary to grasp the significance of the preservation of movies in the life of the people. Preservation of cinema is no doubt the issue that haunts cinema preservationist, archivist librarians at the moment.
