One of the main strengths of the Web is that it allows any party of its global community to share information with any other party. This goal has been achieved by making use of a unique and uniform mechanism of identification, the uniform resource identifiers (URI). Although URIs succeed when used for retrieving resources on the Web, their suitability for identifying any kind of thing, for example, resources that are not on the Web, is not guaranteed. In this article we investigate the meaning of the identity of a Web resource, and how the current situation, as well as existing and possible future improvements, can be modeled and implemented on the Web. In particular, we propose an ontology, IRE, that provides a formal way to model both the problem and the solution spaces. IRE describes the concept of resource from the viewpoint of the Web, by reusing an ontology of information objects, built on top of DOLCE+ and its extensions. In particular, we formalize the concept of Web resource, as distinguished from the concept of a generic entity, and how those and other concepts are related, for example, by different proxy for relations. Based on the analysis formalized in IRE, we propose a formal pattern for modeling and comparing different solutions to the problems of the identity of resources.

Resumen: Entre los supervivientes en España del modelo de prensa de distribución gratuita figura la publi­cación especializada Diario Médico, que lleva 25 años divulgando temas médico-sanitarios entre profesionales del Sistema Nacional de Salud. Se acomete un estudio exploratorio-descriptivo para indagar en sus orígenes y situación actual, prestando atención a su labor en papel, a través del pro­ducto impreso, y en Red, a través de diariomedico.com. Se seleccionan como técnicas la entrevista con su subdirector y el análisis de sus productos. El formato mixto define a Diario Médico: mantiene su compromiso por ofrecer información en papel, a pesar de haber reducido la periodicidad de diaria a semanal; reconduce a sus lectores en papel a Orbyt, quiosco de prensa digital del grupo promotor, Unidad Editorial, donde ofrece diariamente unas siete páginas en pdf con información para suscriptores; y está en la Red, con una edición que se abre a la participación del usuario. El tono divulgativo de sus contenidos y su utilidad para la sociedad, unido al creciente interés del público no especializado por la medicina y salud llevan a este medio, a nuestro parecer, a tener un doble público objetivo: la sociedad en general y los profesionales del Sistema en particular.Palabras clave: Medicina; Salud; Medios; Diario; Especialización.Abstract: One of the survivors in Spain of the free distribution press is the specialized publication Diario Médi­co, which has been disseminating health issues among professionals of the National Health System for 25 years. We did an exploratory-descriptive study about its origins and current situation, paying attention to its labour in paper, through the printed product, and in Red, through diariomedico.com. The techniques are the interview with its deputy director and the analysis of its products. The mixed format defines Diario Médico: it maintains its commitment to offer information on paper, despite ha­ving reduced the periodicity from daily to weekly; leads its paper readers to Orbyt, the digital press kiosk of the promoter group, Unidad Editorial, where it offers seven pages a day in pdf format with information for subscribers, and on the Web, with an edition that opens to the participation of the user. The informative tone of its contents and its usefulness for society, together with the growing interest of the non-specialized public in medicine and health, lead to Diario Médico, in our opinion, to have a double objective public: society in general and professionals of the System in particular.Keywords: Medicine; Health; Media; Press; Specialization.

There is a growing need to collaborate at national and European level for solutions connected with risks and problems due to climate changes. This need is leading to creation of Web platforms in which experts, stakeholders, decision-makers and overall citizens can collaboratively share information. This common information space on the Web can be used for planning, managing, evaluating and using services devoted to the protection and safeguarding of critical infrastructures (i.e. the supply of energy and water, sewage system maintenance). Keeping this purpose in mind, the chapter proposes a framework that provides a web-based collaborative opportunity for decision support, program management and collaboration for climate adaptation, mitigation and citizens’ education.

Through the concept of Cognitive Authority, information relevance and quality have been related to the expertise/skill of those who publish and share information on the Web. This chapter discusses how the concept of cognitive authority can be used in order to improve the information retrieval on folksonomy-based systems. The hypothesis is that a ranking scheme that takes into account the cognitive authority of the information sources provides results of higher relevance and quality to users. To verify this hypothesis, the Folkauthority approach is adopted; a ranking scheme called AuthorityRank is proposed; and an information retrieval system, named AuthoritySearch, is built. A real social network is used to simulate the authority relationship among users, and the AuthorityRank scheme is compared with the tf-idf scheme using the NDCG metric. The results indicate a statistically significant improvement in the quality and relevance of the information obtained through the use of the AuthorityRank scheme.

A Web portal is a gateway to the information and services on the Web where its users can interchange and share information (Tatnall, 2005). It is designed and implemented for a specific community. However, it is unlikely that people who access a Web portal are all so similar in their interests that one standardized way of delivering information fits all needs. This has motivated the need for personalization in Web portals.

The paper analyzes the problems of search personalization of information resources and information objects which is based on the construction and use of user task thesaurus. This thesaurus allows the use of knowledge about search domain and structure of information objects represented by some appropriate ontologies. The definitions of semantic search, its subjects and components allow more articulate issues related to the information retrieval in the Web open environment. Software implementation of the proposed approach confirms the effectiveness of its prac-tical use.

In the context of reforming education in Ukraine, electronic systems for managing the learning process and web resources of educational disciplines as components of these systems are widely introduced into the educational process. The need to improve the quality of education and the effectiveness of monitoring the knowledge of applicants for higher education have led to an increase of interest in automated knowledge assessment. Laboratory classes play a leading role in developing skills and application of the acquired knowledge. The effectiveness of using computer technology in laboratory classes depends on the qualitative methodology for conducting them through the academic discipline web resource tools and the automated evaluation of learners’ knowledge and acquired skills. The paper justifies the relevance of automated assessment of students’ knowledge and skills for higher education, describes the methodology for conducting laboratory classes using the web resource tools of the academic discipline and the technology of automated knowledge and skills assessment based on the results of students’ laboratory assignments. The key idea of the proposed methodology is phased approach to the laboratory work implementation inside and outside the classroom through the academic discipline web resource tools, which includes the preparation manual and automatic access to the laboratory work, implementation and defence of laboratory work with the automated assessment of the corresponding reports. The technology of automated laboratory work assessment is understood as a technology of quality assessment in higher education. To determine whether the answer is correct the relevant algorithms have been incorporated into the web resources of the training course.

To facilitate the detection of various vulnerabilities, there are many different tools (scanners) that can help analyze the security of web applications and facilitate the development of their protection. But these tools for the most part can only identify problems, and they are not capable of fixing them. Therefore, the knowledge of the security developer is a key factor in building a secure Web resource. To resolve application security problems, developers must know all the ways and vectors of various attacks in order to be able to develop various protection mechanisms. This review discusses two of the most dangerous vulnerabilities in the field of Web technologies: SQL injections and XSS attacks (cross-site scripting – XSS), as well as specific cases and examples of their application, as well as various approaches to identifying vulnerabilities in applications and threat prevention. Cross-site scripting as well as SQL-injection attacks are related to validating input data. The mechanisms of these attacks are very similar, but in the XSS attacks the user is the victim, and in the SQL injection attacks, the database server of the Web application. In XSS attacks, malicious content is delivered to users by means of a client-side programming language such as JavaScript, while using SQL injection, the SQL database query language is used. At the same time, XSS attacks, unlike SQL injections, harm only the client side leaving the application server operational. Developers should develop security for both server components and the client part of the web application.

AbstractSummaryClustering is one of the most common techniques used in data analysis to discover hidden structures by grouping together data points that are similar in some measure into clusters. Although there are many programs available for performing clustering, a single web resource that provides both state-of-the-art clustering methods and interactive visualizations is lacking. ClusterEnG (acronym for Clustering Engine for Genomics) provides an interface for clustering big data and interactive visualizations including 3D views, cluster selection and zoom features. ClusterEnG also aims at educating the user about the similarities and differences between various clustering algorithms and provides clustering tutorials that demonstrate potential pitfalls of each algorithm. The web resource will be particularly useful to scientists who are not conversant with computing but want to understand the structure of their data in an intuitive manner.AvailabilityClusterEnG is part of a bigger project called KnowEnG (Knowledge Engine for Genomics) and is available at http://education.knoweng.org/[email protected]
