Abstract:The sharing of knowledge worldwide using hypermedia facilities and fast communication protocols (i.e., Mosaic and World Wide Web) provides a growth capacity with tremendous versatility and efficacy. The example of ExPASy, a molecular biology server developed at the University Hospital of Geneva, is striking. ExPASy provides hypermedia facilities to browse through several up-to-date biological and medical databases around the world and to link information from protein maps to genome information and diseases. Its extensive access is open through World Wide Web. Its concept could be extended to patient data including texts, laboratory data, relevant literature findings, sounds, images and movies. A new hypermedia culture is spreading very rapidly where the international fast transmission of documents is the central element. It is part of the emerging new “information society”.

Perception Of Quality

Abstract This paper will present and discuss the results of an empirical study on perception of quality in interpretation carried out on a sample of 286 interpreters across five continents. Since the 1980’s the field of Interpreting Studies has been witnessing an ever growing interest in the issue of quality in interpretation both in academia and in professional circles, but research undertaken so far is surprisingly lacking in methodological rigour. This survey is an attempt to revise previous studies on interpreters’ perception of quality through the implementation of new Information Technology which allowed us to administer a traditional research tool such as a questionnaire, in a highly innovative way; i.e., through the World Wide Web. Using multidimensional scaling, a perceptual map based upon the results of the manner in which interpreters ranked a list of linguistic and non-linguistic criteria according to their perception of importance in the interpretative process, was devised.

Summary Objectives: Electronic medical record systems permit collection of large amounts of medical information. Usually, information is presented in a fixed format, either as text or tables. Health care providers have to navigate this fixed format in order to find information useful for a specific patient-provider interaction. The main objective of this work was to allow the provider immediate access to specific laboratory information through the development of a highly customizable, graphical user interface to the Mayo Clinic laboratory information system. Methods – Results: Here we describe this platform-independent, World-Wide-Web-based graphical user interface that allows the provider to see all or a predetermined panel of essential laboratory data in graphical format. Advantages include availability at internet-based workstations, immediate recognition of trends over time, ability to zoom in and out of specific periods of time, and detailed analysis of patient values in relationship to normal values. Conclusions: Web browser-based user interface allowing graphical display of laboratory data using Java technology was described. The connection to the Mayo Clinic laboratory information system combines cross-platform support for use on virtually any networked machine, interaction through a Web browser for ease of use, and a combination of the Perl and Java languages for powerful data processing and interactivity.

The objective of this chapter is to describe the Postcourse project, which is an e-course on database design. It can be reached via the World Wide Web and allows authorized students to create and work with their own databases placed on the university server. The system has been created from scratch, as no authoring package offered tools to interact with databases, which is the innovative feature of the project. The evaluation performed after the system had been used for two years proved that it is a valuable material for self-paced work.

The advent of technology is reshaping the landscape of political campaigns. Cable television, satellite uplinks, cellular telephones, facsimile machines, and related communications and software applications offer ever more sophisticated ways of reaching voters. With each passing month, the advertisements in Campaigns and Elections, the trade journal of consultants and political professionals, are filled with more applications of this new information and media technology. Simply collecting and keeping track of the advertisements of a rival during a campaign is now a large part of the work of a campaign. Where candidates once coveted relationships with voters in their districts, they now purchase lists of these same voters on CD-ROM and data files on the World Wide Web as a part of the new campaign technologies.

Unlike single-processor benchmarks, multiprocessor benchmarks can yield tens of numbers for each benchmark on each computer, as factors such as the number of processors and problem size are varied. A graphical display of performance surfaces therefore provides a satisfactory way of comparing results. The University of Southampton has developed the Graphical Benchmark Information Service (GBIS) on the World Wide Web (WWW) to display interactively graphs of user-selected benchmark results from the GENESIS and PARKBENCH benchmark suites.

The World

A few years ago, e-commerce applications were mainly focused on handling transactions and managing catalogs. Applications automated only a small portion of the electronic transaction process, for example: taking orders, scheduling shipments, and providing customer service. E-commerce was held back by closed markets that could not use distributed services, due to the use of incompatible communication protocols. Recently, business needs are evolving beyond transaction support to include requirements for the interoperability and integration of heterogeneous, autonomous, and distributed service. Enabling technologies and business-centered design methodologies have addressed the shortcomings of contemporary e-commerce applications. New technological development such as Web services, Web processes, and semantics have allowed the creation of a new bread of e-commerce applications which can orchestrate cross-organizational and distributed services. Web services and processes refer to a set of technologies that can universally standardize the communication of applications in order to connect systems, services, business partners, and customers cost-effectively through the World Wide Web. Semantics provide an agreed understanding of information between and among Web services encouraging the development of interoperable systems that can help create and support new collections of services to better meet the demands and expectations of customers. In this article, we present seven reasons why semantics should be an integral part of Web services and Web processes technology managing e-commerce applications.
