Para os meus colegas que anda se perguntam se algoritmia é necessária, e calhando até acham muito bem que não tenham algoritmia na versão hodierna de Informática Aplicada:
Tecnologias a terem muita relevância no mundo das bibliotecas no futuro próximo e não só segundo um dos gurus da matéria:
- Web 2.0 is the update to Web 1.0. The client sends a request, the server sends back the HTML page, the connection is dropped, and then the client. renders the page. Web 2.0 is a set of technologies that enable tapping into a wide variety of information dynamically and presenting it in a highly interactive way, using technologies such as HTTP, HTML, Web Services, and AJAX. An example of this can be seen at http://chicagocrime.org.
- SOAP and REST. Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is a way to exchange encoded information between applications. Representational State Transfer (REST) is a URL (HTTP Get)- based way of sending a SOAP request and receiving an XML-encoded response.
- AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML) incorporates standards-based presentation using XHTML and CSS, dynamic display and interaction using the Document Object Model, data interchange and manipulation using XML and XSLT, asynchronous data retrieval using XMLHttpRequest, and JavaScript. Google Maps is one of the main users.
- Collaborative Filtering consists of a community of users sharing links (i.e., http://del.icio.us or Unalog) and/or individual reader advisory lists (i.e., Amazon lists, “My Favorites”).
- Institutional Repositories, according to SPARC (Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition), are “digital collections capturing and preserving the intellectual output of a single or multiuniversity community.” They are means for libraries to begin capturing scholarly communication before it disappears out into the world of vendors where it would have to be purchased. The University of California eScholarship Repository is one example (http://repositories.cdlib.org); MIT’s D Space (http://dspace.mit.edu) is another.
- OAI-PMH (Open Archive Initiative- Protocol for Metadata Harvesting) is a protocol for “harvesting” metadata from content repositories. It is simple, easily implemented, and easily understood. The California Digital Library is in the process of creating tools to make harvesting metadata easier for librarians. OAIster (University of Michigan digital library at www.oaister.org) is an example of just such a system.
- MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema) is a bibliographic standard similar to MARC but expressed in XML. Some would call it the closest thing to a replacement for MARC. The standards are in development at www.loc.gov/standards/mods.
- METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Schema) is an XML wrapper for various metadata “packages” as well as component files. It is used as an all-purpose metadata package for digital objects. The standards can be found at www.loc.gov/ standards/mets.
- RSS (Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, or RDF Site Summary). It is a simple XML standard for a small set of metadata elements that Web sites can make available to software applications (e.g., readers). It is useful for current awareness purposes, like blog readers or automatic Web site updates.
- FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographical Records), a conceptual framework that is able to bring similar items together at various levels, whether at the work (Hamlet: Prince of Denmark), expression (a Russian translation), manifestation (third printing), or item (copy 2) levels.
- Metasearching involves searching two or more separate sources simultaneously. Often it includes merged and deduped search results and the ability to save, e-mail, or download citations. It also can include relevance rankings.
