"Publication forms the core structure supporting the development and transmission of scientific knowledge" (Galbraith2015). Yet, with the WorldWideWeb a dominant part of current scientific publication and information-dissemination, internet "publication" is still paper-based in its style and methods. As will become painfully obvious, such a paper-based "publishing model" is NOT adequate for a Web-based world. Consider that in 2011, an estimated 5,000 peer-reviewed scientific articles were published per day (Outsell2013), and that in 2014 just the English-language scholarly publications on the Web were about 4,900 per day. In 1980, the distinguished scientist Garrett Hardin wrote [Hardin1980]:"Who can keep up with such a torrent? When I was young and foolish I vowed that I would read all the articles in my small field of science. Discovering that this was impossible, I tried to read all the abstracts. That, too, proved too much. Now I know that I cannot even read all the titles." To help reduce scholarly information-overload, this article proposes using Knowledge-Step Forums for the purpose of creating a new type scholarly publication, Web-based Compendia. Each Compendium is about a very narrow topic and is presented in a MultiLevel Format. When all these features are combined, the scholarly article is called a Knowledge-Step Compendium, and it is posted on the Web by the scholar, either on an institutional server, or on one of many web-hosting servers. Web-search engines will be automatically notified about the new posting (and later changes, too). Forum-Compendors need not be a senior faculty member (as is the case in traditional literature-reviews), but can be pre-docs, post-docs, and senior medical/surgical residents. These graduate-students will be aided by their mentors and online experts to create these Knowledge-Step Compendia. All participants (students and faculty) will be motivated by their own self-interest and everyone gains from the activity, which self-organizes groups of like-minded scholars. Such groups can be the basis for early reviews of new data, for discovering new ideas, and for finding jobs. Knowledge-Step Forums will speed publication on the Web because it will easily support Publication of Preprints using the software's automatic collection of online "peer-review" comments. In order for the Internet to be an efficient searchable repository of current and developing knowledge, one additional feature will be needed: ForwardLinks must be available in any given publication to those articles that, in the future, cite the given publication, as fully described in a Supplement to this article. Open-source software for this functionality should be on all Web-servers that contain scholarly articles, so as to make the WWW a distributed web full of linkages, of both ForwardLinks and RetroLinks.

ABSTRACT "Publication forms the core structure supporting the development and transmission of scientific knowledge" (Galbraith2015). Yet, with the WorldWideWeb a dominant part of current scientific publication and information-dissemination, internet "publication" is still paper-based in its style and methods, even when it uses a digital medium. Such a paper-based publishing "model" is NOT adequate for a Web-based world. In 2006, an estimated 3,700 peer-reviewed scientific articles were published per day (Bjork2009)! This totals about 1.35 million articles per year. A similar estimate for 2011 was 1.8 million (Outsell2013), which is almost 5,000 per day. The total number of English-language scholarly documents accessible on the Web was estimated in 2014 to be at least 114 million (Khabsa2014). The methods and features described here are clearly needed now, and will be absolutely necessary in the future, when even more articles are available. In this context of an overload of information from scientific articles, described here is the idea of Knowledge-Step Forums as the basis for creating new peer-reviewed, compended "Literature-Guides", each on a very narrow topic and in a MultiLevel Format (Knowledge-Step Compendia).

This article reports on research conducted in the department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University from 2002 to 2005 on first-year undergraduate student performance in, and reaction to, a web-based introductory course in stylistic analysis. The main focus of this report is a comparison of student responses to the varying ways in which the web-based course was used from year to year. The description of student responses is based on an analysis of end-of-course questionnaires and a comparison of exit grades. In 2002–3, students accessed the first two-thirds of the course in web-based form and the last third through more traditional teaching. In 2003–4 the entire course was accessed in web-based form, and in 2004–5 web-based course workshops were used as part of a combined package which also involved weekly lectures and seminars. Some comparison is also made with student performance in, and responses to, the traditional lecture + seminar form of the course, as typified in the 2001–2 version of the course.

The Web

At the start of this book we outlined the challenges of automatic computer based processing of information on the Web. These numerous challenges are generally referred to as the ‘vision’ of the Semantic Web. From the outset, we have attempted to take a realistic and pragmatic view of this vision. Our opinion is that the vision may never be fully realized, but that it is a useful goal on which to focus. Each step towards the vision has provided new insights on classical problems in knowledge representation, MASs, and Web-based techniques. Thus, we are presently in a significantly better position as a result of these efforts. It is sometimes difficult to see the purpose of the Semantic Web vision behind all of the different technologies and acronyms. However, the fundamental purpose of the Semantic Web is essentially large scale and automated data integration. The Semantic Web is not just about providing a more intelligent kind of Web search, but also about taking the results of these searches and combining them in interesting and useful ways. As stated in Chapter 1, the possible applications for the Semantic Web include: automated data mining, e-science experiments, e-learning systems, personalized newspapers and journals, and intelligent devices. The current state of progress towards the Semantic Web vision is summarized in Figure 8.1. This figure shows a pyramid with the human-centric Web at the bottom, sometimes termed the Syntactic Web, and the envisioned Semantic Web at the top. Throughout this book, we have been moving upwards on this pyramid, and it should be clear that a great deal of progress that has been made towards the goal. This progress is indicated by the various stages of the pyramid, which can be summarized as follows: • The lowest stage on the pyramid is the basic Web that should be familiar to everyone. This Web of information is human-centric and contains very little automation. Nonetheless, the Web provides the basic protocols and technologies on which the Semantic Web is founded. Furthermore, the information which is represented on the Web will ultimately be the source of knowledge for the Semantic Web.

Most people are more or less related to the web by participating in a kind of social networking site. Semantic Web technology plays a crucial role in these sites as they contain an enormous amount of data about ‎persons, pages, events, places, corporations, etc. This research is a Semantic Web application designed to create a new ‎semantic social community called Socialpedia. It links the already existing social public information to the newly ‎public ones. This information is linked with different information on the web to construct a new immense ‎data container. The resulting data container can be processed using a variety of Semantic Web techniques to produce ‎machine-understandable content. This content shows the promise of using integrated data to improve Web search and ‎Web-scale data analysis, unlike conventional search engines or social ones. This community involves obtaining data ‎from traditional users known as contributors or participants, linking data from existing social networks, extracting ‎structured data in triples using predefined ontologies, and finally querying and inferring such data to obtain ‎meaningful pieces of information. Socailpedia supports all popular functionalities of social networking websites ‎besides the enhanced features of the Semantic Web, providing advanced semantic search that acts as a semantic ‎search engine.

Abstract. Applying Fisher Yates Shuffle Algorithm on The Web-Based TOEFL Preparation Application. TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) in Indonesia has been using paper all this time so the questions given to participants are still the same. Therefore, an application for randomizing the TOEFL questions is needed. The algorithm for randomizing the questions used is the Fisher Yates Shuffle algorithm, which is an algorithm to generate random permutations from a finite set. The purpose of this research is to make an application of the Fisher Yates Shuffle algorithm in the web based TOEFL Preparation application in Britania Purwokerto. Britania Purwokerto is an English language course in Banyumas. The method used to develop the application is the Extreme Programming (XP) method. After testing using the black box testing method, it is concluded that the fisher yates shuffle algorithm can be applied in the web based TOEFL Preparation application for the online TOEFL test in Britania Purwokerto.Keywords: Course Institution, TOEFL, Fisher Yates Shuffle, Extreme Programming.Abstrak.

В статье предлагается рассмотреть второй этап обновления информационного лингвистического ресурса «COEL» (Cryptotypes of the English Language), разработанного на кафедре теоретической и прикладной лингвистики ВГУ в качестве инструмента для исследовательской работы в рамках теории криптоклассного анализа на материале данных сочетаемости абстрактных имен английского языка. В рамках данного этапа была реализована система представления контекстов. Среди основных используемых технологий стоит выделить: PHP, SQL, JavaScript, язык разметки HTML, язык формирования внешнего вида документа CSS и технология AJAX. В работе рассматривается веб-интерфейс информационной системы, обосновывается необходимость вносимых изменения и подробно описываются проведенные усовершенствования. Основными достигнутыми результатами являются: 1) система выдачи контекстов изменена в соответствии с особенностями новых данных: в новых разделах ресурса была реализована возможность фильтрации выводимого списка словоупотреблений по варианту английского языка; 2) реализована система выгрузки контекстов для предоставления возможности работы с информацией на машине пользователя и локального хранения в случае соответствующей необходимости, что может оказать пользу лингвистам в процессе проведения исследований или обучающимся при изучении английского языка. Указанные изменения позволили адаптировать систему для осуществления работы с данными, полученными из лингвистических баз данных — корпусов GloWbE (The corpus of Global Web-based English), NOW (News On the Web) и iWeb, а также сделать ее более функциональной и удобной для использования в рамках исследовательской лингвистической деятельности и при изучении английского языка.
