Abstract Sampling the natural world and built environment underpins much of science, yet systems for managing material samples and associated (meta)data are fragmented across institutional catalogs, practices for identification, and discipline-specific (meta)data standards. The Internet of Samples (iSamples) is a standards-based collaboration to uniquely, consistently, and conveniently identify material samples, record core metadata about them, and link them to other samples, data, and research products. iSamples extends existing resources and best practices in data stewardship to render a cross-domain cyberinfrastructure that enables transdisciplinary research, discovery, and reuse of material samples in 21st century natural science.

Abstract To remain competitive in the global marketplace, manufacturing companies are transforming their organizational structure and operational philosophy from one based on vertical-integration to one based on core competencies. This trend has resulted in an economy wherein practically every manufacturing company has become dependent on a supply-chain of vendors in order to serve its customers. In the context of this distributed manufacturing environment, the Internet and related technologies such as Java, VRML and intelligent WWW agents are creating fundamentally new approaches to supply-chain interactions that offer greater flexibility in identifying suppliers and the ability to dramatically reduce the response time within a supply-chain for processing requests-for-quotation (RFQs) and orders from customers. In this paper, we describe a generic framework for Internet-based customer-vendor interactions, and present a computer-integrated system for rapid and effective processing of RFQs in such an Internet-based supply-chain. We also identify some key research challenges within this framework that need to be overcome for Internet-based supply-chain interaction to be successful.

Knowledge is the fact or knowing something from experience or via association. Knowledge organization is the systematic management and organization of knowledge (Hodge, 2000). With the advent of Web 2.0, Mashups have become a hot new thing on the Web. A mashup is a Web site or a Web application that combines content from more than one source and delivers it in an integrated way (Fichter, 2006). In this article, we will first explore the concept of mashups and look at the components of a mashup. We will provide an overview of various mashups on the Internet. We will look at literature about knowledge and the knowledge organization. Then, we will elaborate on our experiment of a mashup in an enterprise environment. We will describe how we mixed the content from two sets of sources and created a new source: a novel way of organizing and displaying HP Labs Technical Reports. The findings from our project will be included and some best practices for creating enterprise mashups will be given. The future of enterprise mashups will be discussed as well.
