RESUMO O Sistema Nacional de Informações e Indicadores Cultural (SNIIC) é uma plataforma convergente e colaborativa que reúne objetos e recursos digitais, com o objetivo de agregar em uma única base de dados informações referentes à cultura e possibilitar o monitoramento das metas e implementação do Sistema Nacional de Cultura (SNC). O objetivo deste trabalho é refletir sobre a atualização dos conceitos de memória em suas instâncias individual, coletiva e, finalmente, digital considerando:(a) quais as possibilidades que a plataforma digital SNIIC pode oferecer para a promover de discursos plurais, dar voz e visibilidade à diversidade cultural; e (b) qual o seu papel na construção, preservação e disseminação da memória coletiva e do patrimônio cultural. A metodologia da pesquisa qualifica-se por sua natureza bibliográfica, descritiva e exploratória, concentrando-se na abordagem temática da ciência da informação acerca da web colaborativa e seus reflexos para a cultura e memória sociais. Muitos desafios e questionamentos surgem a respeito da participação e colaboração do usuário, assim como dos novos fluxos informacionais por meio de aplicações web, da preservação dos inúmeros registros de atividades e patrimônios culturais, para que sirvam de subsídios na composição da memória individual e social brasileira. Resta-nos conhecer, fazer uso efetivo e disseminar a existência da plataforma cultural, enfatizando sua importância e funcionalidades, estimulando a participação das pessoas a atuarem na construção coletiva da cultura, por meio da apropriação social da informação cultural e mediante as múltiplas formas de interação daí surgidas.Palavras-chave: Memória na Internet; Cultura; Informação e Tecnologia; WebColaborativa; Plataforma Digital.ABSTRACT The Brazilian National System of Cultural Information and Indicators (Sistema Nacional de Informações e Indicadores Cultural - SNIIC) is a convergent and collaborative platform which  unites digital resources meant to aggregate in one single data base the information regarding cultural matters in order to monitor the System's goals and implementation. The aim of this article is to reflect on the concept of memory in its individual, collective and digital instances considering (a) the means that the SNIIC digital platform can offer to promote plural speech, to give voice and visibility to cultural diversity and (b) the role it plays in the construction, preservation and dissemination of memory and cultural heritage. The research methodology used is bibliographic, descriptive and exploratory, concentrating on the thematic approach of Information Science regarding the collaborative web and its effects on culture and social memory. Many challenges and issues regarding individual participation and collaboration arise, as well as on new information flows and preservation of the numerous records of activities and cultural heritage in order to subsidise the construction of individual and social Brazilian memory. It is important to explore, to use effectively, and to publicize the existence of the cultural platform, highlighting its importance and functionalities, stimulating people's participation in the collective building of culture through social appropriation of the cultural information in multiple interaction forms.Keywords: Memory on the Internet; Culture; Information and Technology; Collaborative Web; Digital Platform.

The journal approaches something of a milestone with this issue. The current iteration of ACRL’s professional journal of special collections librarianship practice began publication as Rare Books and Manuscripts Librarianship in 1986. When I was in library school a few years later, the only access points to content in the field was the library’s local card catalogue and the Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) index. For those of you competent, working professionals young enough to be my children, research was a matter of looking through print volumes—print, mind you—of annual issue after annual issue for citations appearing under index terms, then pulling the bound volumes from the shelves on another floor. The current title RBM: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage was adopted upon acquiring and moving to a digital platform in 2000. Since that time, all ACRL journal content has been available digitally, creating a backfile of material accessible for the asking. In 2014 ALA enacted a platform migration to OJS (Open Journal System) software. RBM content also moved to the OJS platform.

Abstract Background In the French West-Indies, few studies have been performed on fertility and sexual problems in cancer survivors, which are frequent and recurring issues reported by surveys on unmet needs. Additionally, mutualizing human and material resources and promoting cooperation through a collaborative platform are the most appropriate response to complex health pathways in the Caribbean territories. Implementation of such a collaborative platform will help to launch a strategic Caribbean partnership to transfer theoretical and technical skills and care standards in oncofertility and oncosexuality. Methods We propose to set up a collaborative digital platform to strengthen, from the French expertise, Cuban health professionals’ knowledge, know-how, and skills in oncofertility and oncosexuality. The project will be coordinated by a coordinating, scientific, and supervisory committee, and the main activities will include: Theoretical training in e-learning adapted to low-speed Internet. Practical training in fertility preservation and sexual rehabilitation. Digital multidisciplinary consultation meetings for medical decisions to be taken for complex clinical cases. The platform will benefit from a recurrent evaluation, by the two cancer registries of Martinique and Cuba, with the following performance indicators: number of Cuban professionals trained, number of professionals sensitized, hourly volumes (or number of training courses provided), satisfaction of trained professionals, number of e-RCPs carried out online and number of missionaries supported. These indicators will be set up and analyzed by the registers. This project meets the Cuban and French health policies (cancer plans and national sexual health strategies) and will be implemented in liaison with the Health Agencies of both countries and the Embassy of France in Cuba. Discussion This project aims to provide support through bilateral exchanges to improve reproductive and sexual health in Cuba’s cancer patients. This collaboration will be based on a long-lasting French expertise and a solid Cuban health system. Consequently, this collaborative digital platform will contribute to data collection for cancer surveillance, and the two participating countries will ultimately be identified in the Caribbean as having centers of competence and excellence in oncofertility and oncosexuality with care standards.

New Strategies

Recent advances in semantic web and deep learning technologies enable new means for the computational analysis of vast amounts of information from the field of digital humanities. We discuss how some of the techniques can be used to identify historical and cultural symmetries between different characters, locations, events or venues, and how these can be harnessed to develop new strategies to promote intercultural and cross-border aspects that support the teaching and learning of history and heritage. The strategies have been put to the test in the context of the European project CrossCult, revealing enormous potential to encourage curiosity to discover new information and increase retention of learned information.

Purpose Digital curation addresses the technical, administrative and financial ecology required to ensure that digital information remains accessible and usable over the long term. The purpose of this paper is to trace digital curation’s disciplinary emergence and examine its position within the information sciences domain in terms of theoretical principles, using a case study of developments in the UK and the USA. Design/methodology/approach Theoretical principles regarding disciplinary development and the identity of information science as a discipline are applied to a case study of the development of digital curation in the UK and the USA to identify the maturity of digital curation and its position in the information science gamut. Findings Digital curation is identified as a mature discipline which is a sub-meta-discipline of information science. As such digital curation has reach across all disciplines and sub-disciplines of information science and has the potential to become the overarching paradigm. Practical implications These findings could influence digital curation’s development from applied discipline to profession within both its educational and professional domains. Originality/value The disciplinary development of digital curation within dominant theoretical models has not hitherto been articulated.

This paper suggests a new information paradigm and recommends the establishment of a new academic and scientific discipline, or a metaphysics of information, to be built on the premise that information is also a part of all the universes, elements, systems, and conditions. Therefore, it is also an integral part of all the other individual disciplines and sciences. It is essential to look beyond the limitations of how humans use and perceive information, or even how other living organisms use information. It is proposed that information is in a continuous and dynamic evolutionary process that ranges from simple to complex forms, at every level, across all scientific and academic domains, as well as being a significant element in everything that exists. Information is a trigger mechanism, an emphasis and a nutrient, not only for information activities, but also all physical, and biological elements, systems and activities. Each existing discipline has within it a significant core informational element, which helps formulate and define that discipline. The science of information will bring together core science and academic information elements to correlate, compare and assemble a combined theoretical base. This new discipline should coexist equally with traditional scientific and academic categories such as physical, social science, arts, and humanities. It should not compete with or replace other disciplines but should stand alongside them and assist them to build comparisons and consolidations amongst multiple disciplines regarding information theories, methodologies, practices—by adding new perspectives, resources, and developments. This paper is adapted from a presentation to the Fourth International Conference on the Foundation of Information Science, held in conjunction with the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence at the Huazhiong University of Science and Technology in August 2010 in Beijing, China.

Artists have long engaged with digital and networked technologies in critical and creative ways to explore both new art forms and novel ways of disseminating artworks. Net-based artworks are often created with the intent to circulate outside traditional institutional spaces, and many are shared via artist-run platforms that involve curatorial practices distinct from those of museums or commercial galleries. This article focuses on a particular artist-run platform called Paper-Thin, characterizing the activities involved in managing the platform as digital curation in a polysemous sense – as both the curation of digital artworks and the stewardship of digital information in a complex technological ecosystem. While scholars and cultural heritage professionals have developed innovative preservation strategies for digital and new media artworks housed in institutional collections, the ongoing care of artworks shared through networked alternative spaces is largely carried out co-operatively by the artists and curators of these platforms. Drawing on Howard Becker’s sociological theory of art worlds as networks of co-operative actors, this article describes the patterns of co-operative work involved in creating, exhibiting, and then caring for Net-based art. The article outlines the importance, for cultural heritage professionals, of understanding the digital-curation practices of artists, as these artist-run networked platforms demonstrate emergent approaches to the stewardship of digital culture that move beyond a custodial paradigm.
