From its explosive development in the last decade of the 20th century, the World Wide Web has become an ideal medium for dedicated sports fanatics and a useful resource for casual fans, as well. Its accessibility, interactivity, speed, and multimedia content have triggered a fundamental change in the delivery of mediated sports, a change for which no one can yet predict the outcome (Real, 2006). This commentary sheds light on a process in which the talk-back mechanism, which enables readers to comment on Web-published articles, is (re)shaping the sport realm in Israeli media. The study on which this commentary is based involved the comparative analysis of over 3,000 talk-backs from the sports sections of 3 daily Web news sites (Ynet, nrg, and Walla!). The argument is made that talkbacks serve not only as an extension of the journalistic sphere but also as a new source of information and debate.

First, we consider the “spiritual search” that many have found to be foundational to humanity. Religion is foundational to humanity across the world. To some extent, sociology is a “secular panacea” for what classical philosophy called “The religious quest.” The religious, and nonreligious quest is a search for meaning most commonly understood in religious contexts as a search for “god.” In the last decade of the 20th century, a number of authors have recognized that technology is being used for a “spiritual quest.” Increasingly, this is being expressed through the Internet and World Wide Web. The “search beyond Google” represents this human quest for meaning. Even though organised religion may be declining, the religious quest is not necessarily abating. Technology, along with some “alternative” religious expressions, is supporting the present day search.

Multimedia Environments

The Internet and more specifically the World Wide Web is a global communication environment. Either via a personal or commercial Web site, we seek to express ourselves as individuals or as organizations through this technological forum. We desire to provide an experience that will bring visitors back to our site. Providing rich multimedia content is the contemporary paradigm in achieving these ends. The software company Macromedia has addressed this need with their commercial product known as Flash. Macromedia Flash is used to create interactive multimedia environments in the client. There are also server-based technologies that communicate via Flash directly or indirectly.

The world wide web is the fastestgrowing health information medium. In 2001, 52 million adults in America accessed the web to obtain such information.1 Cancer has been shown to be among the top three health topics searched for on the internet. A survey performed by American oncologists estimated that approximately 30% of their patients use the internet to obtain information. Other surveys have shown that up to 50% of cancer patients use the net for this purpose. The internet is also seen as an important source of information for family members and caregivers of cancer patients.

Valuable Content

Web archiving is the process of collecting valuable content from the World Wide Web in a an archival format, to ensure the information can be managed independently and preserved for the general public, historians, researchers, and future generation. If the Web is not preserved, eventually valuable content will be lost forever. The Web is a very valuable source of information and several government and private institutions are involved in archiving parts of it for various purposes. This paper gives an overview of web archiving, describes the techniques used in web archiving, discusses some challenges encountered during web archiving and gives possible solutions to these challenges.

Resumo Neste trabalho é apresentada uma ontologia para modelar o domínio da Arquitetura da Informação para Web (AI para web), de acordo com os preceitos definidos por Morville e Rosenfeld no livro Information Architecture for the Word Wide Web, versão 2006. Objetiva-se estruturar o conhecimento relacionado ao domínio de AI para Web, formalizando o mesmo, bem como auxiliar o ensino dos conceitos e relacionamentos do domínio da área de AI para Web. A pesquisa realizada é de caráter teórico e qualitativo, e classifica-se como descritiva e exploratória. A modelagem foi realizada mediante a utilização da linguagem Ontology Web Language (OWL) e do framework Protégé 3.4.1, seguindo os passos da metodologia 101. Os resultados mostram a InfoArch, uma ontologia que representa os conceitos e relacionamentos, além de possibilitar responder a questionamentos sobre o domínio. Considera-se que InfoArch traz contribuições principalmente relativas as questões de ensino, pesquisa e extensão, pois servirá como fonte de informação para pesquisadores, professores e equipes de desenvolvimento de sites que trabalhem com Arquitetura da Informação para Web.Palavras-chave Arquitetura da Informação para Web; ontologia; desenvolvimento de site; web semânticaAbstract This paper presents an ontology to model the field of Information Architecture for Web (Web IA), according to the precepts defined by Morville and Rosenfeld in the book Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, version 2006. It aims to structure the related knowledge in the field of IA for the Web, formalizing this area and helping to teach the concepts and relationships in the domain of the IA for the Web. The research is theoretical and qualitative, and is classified as descriptive and exploratory. The modeling was performed using the language of Ontology Web Language (OWL) and the Protégé framework 3.4.1, by following the steps of the methodology 101. The results show the InfoArch, an ontology that represents concepts and relationships, and enables finding answers to questions about the area. It is considered that InfoArch brings contributions especially on issues of teaching, research and extension, and thus will serve as a source of information for researchers, teachers and staff of developing sites that work with Information Architecture for the World Wide Web.Keywords information architecture for the World Wide Web; ontology; site development; semantic web

This essay first discusses modern wars and the idea of ?eternal peace? as developed in modernity. It shows how in the 20th century the reality of war (as well as the concept of peace) was already transformed due to the development of new technologies such as the nuclear bomb. Now, peace was replaced by a ?cold war?. The essay then goes on to introduce the concept of post-national wars (as opposed to modern national wars). It argues that this concept fails fully to describe contemporary warfare. What is needed is a deeper analysis that considers most recent technological developments such as the world wide web or drone technology and the way these technologies paradigmatically change the concept and reality of war (and of peace, too). The essay concludes by arguing that the moral and legal challenges of this kind of war deserve more attention than they are getting in the current discussion.

The article investigates the practical aspects of the influence of the worldwide Internet network on artistic processes in modern society. Within the framework of research of modern interpretations and meanings of the screen space it is necessary to find out whether the World Wide Web space can be a valid background for displaying contemporary artistic processes. During the study, it was found that virtually the interaction of the Internet and art on the modern stage can be manifested in the following forms: ‒ The Internet is a platform for visualizing on-screen modern art projects, including those that can exist exclusively in the net; ‒ The Internet is a powerful source of information for creative artistic ideas; it introduces already-known classical works to a wide audience but and gives a powerful impetus to new genres of art. A person in the space of the World Wide Web can perform in several roles — the seeker, the consumer and the creator. Thus, it has been determined and argued that the influence of the Internet network on art is multifaceted and ambiguous — it can have both positive and negative colour. Despite all its advantages, the Internet at the same time can be one of the reasons for the depreciation of traditional art.
