Hi:



I also have my own "prior art" for faceted navigation, described in slides
12, 14, 16, 31-39, 41, 43-58 at http://www.one-world-is.com/rer/owis/dem.  I
had first documented this design in my graduate school during 81-85 (yes,
that's several years prior to John Zachman's EA Framework), in the US Army
Europe Suggestion Program in 88, 89, 91, and 92, online in early web-fora
from 92 till 94, in the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Suggestion
in 1992, and I published all of my material on my one-world-is.com web site
beginning in December 94.  I have since used the approach supporting several
Defense, Civil Government, and commercial clients.  I built a
multidimensional-navigation enterprise management system called TAPES (Total
Architecture, Plans, and Execution System) between 89 and 92 while serving
as Lead Information Engineer (i.e., Enterprise Architect) for USAREUR, and
submitted it into the Army as a functional requirement for a dynamic
enterprise resource management system (which was accepted as a standard Army
sustaining-base information system but was only partially built by my
"clients" after I left Europe).



I subsequently used this same faceted classification/navigation approach in
a project where I was the Chief Enterprise Architect for a White House
project to build a continuity-communication enterprise architecture for the
Federal Executive Branch, which is languishing because of power-sharing
issues and fear of managed-accountability for those Agencies whose
enterprise architectures must be integrated, and therefore constrained, by a
higher level Branch-continuity architecture.



I have filed for my own patent based on new "integrated intelligence and
operations management" designs (i.e., concepts, methodologies, metaschema,
supporting-technology-specification, implementation plans, operational
procedures) further enhancing and expanding my previous enterprise (i.e.,
purposeful human endeavor) management design.



By the way, as a non-profit, I'm always seeking contributions and grants to
help me further this one-world-enterprise-management-information-system
effort.

Subject: RE: [facetedclassification] Siderean patents faceted navigation



I only took a quick look at the patent, but it would appear that the
press release claims might be somewhat broader than the actual claims of
the patent.

There is no question that the whole area of intellectual property is in
need of some major change. I think that the biggest issue is that there
is money (and, therefore, campaign dollars and funds for lobbyists) in
protecting IP, but not so much in providing a workable system. Big
companies patent everything in sight, not only to provide ground for
suit (Alcatel, having bought Lucent last month is now trying to enforce
old Bell Labs patents on MP3), but also to provide negotiating positions
if they get sued ("Yes, we are violating your patents, but you are
violating ours too!"). Small companies are at a disadvantage in this
(as are big companies when the plaintiff is simply a patent holding
company).

As to navigation systems (faceted or otherwise): A patent can be
destroyed by showing that it is prior art. Faceted classification,
generally, predates the date of application of this patent. Many of the
big research companies (IBM, Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, etc) engage in a
practice of "defensive publication." That is, after they determine that
they do not want to patent something, they publish the details of the
idea in a industry forum or, often, a public company technical journal
(that they control for this purpose). This prevents someone later from
hitting them with a patent over something that they themselves had
invented earlier. I once was involved in a multi-billion dollar suit
regarding an alleged patent over the concept of a computer "file
system." The patent was applied for in the 1960's, but not granted
until the '90's (known as a "submarine patent"). Turns out that IBM did
a defensive publication of the idea of a file system in 1956. The suit
went away. A generalized patent claim regarding faceted classification
applied for in the timeframe of this patent will run into prior
art/defensive publication issues. I haven't been tracking the work of
other people, but I, myself, presented on user experience, process, and
data modeling aspects of faceted navigation in three published
conferences in 2000-2001. Prior to that, Apple's Advanced Technology
Group, published a lot of material on faceting and navigation through
information spaces in conjunction with "Hot Sauce" and the MCF (?, from
memory) specification that later gave rise to RDF.

Hi,



Is there anybody here who can help me with the following:

I installed Fedora Linux and Python and MySQL on my laptop. I downloaded and
installed the software from the Flamenco project (Berkeley)
http://flamenco.berkeley.edu/download.html . I loaded the example that comes
with it and started the example instance. So far, everything went great. My
log.txt file says

"Found an available port: 21600.

Listening on ('127.0.0.1', 21600)

Creating 10 threads..........

Ready  (0.48 seconds after launch)"



Only in the browser, when I run http://localhost/cgi-bin/flamenco.cgi it
says "example (not running, not startable)". However the command "flamenco
status" tells me the example is running.



Anybody who can help me with this?



Thanks,



Marcel

Subject: Looking for Management Analysts in DC+ with Federal (Civil, Defense) Experience

rroebuck99

Hi:

This community, from my experience, is a natural fit for a growing
labor requirement I'm seeking to fill.  It's also a great fit for
those comfortable with the Information Science, Faceted
Classification, and Semantic Modeling fields.

I'm looking for qualified/experienced management analysts (e.g.,
retired OPM GS 343) to support a funded and evolving management
analysis, modeling, visualization, and improvement effort with work
to be performed at primarily at commercial sites, occasionally and
intermittently at government sites, and to a lesser degree via
telecommuting.  This effort extends across:

~enterprise-wide requirements life cycle management;
~to technology stacks (such as IT and other technologies such as
facilities, motor vehicles, transportation, materials-handling,
etc.);
~to concurrent management of multiple categories of resources
(people, knowledge/semantics/info/data/sensors, funds, skills,
materiel, facilities, services, etc.);
~to multiple processes (manual, automated, natural, mechanical,
electrical, electronic, etc.);
~to multiple functions (executive, production, or support); ~
to multiple organizational units (staffs, program, projects, etc.);
~to multiple organizations (government, commercial, non-profit,
private, etc.);
~to multiple locations (DC locally initially, but extending globally
as the effort evolves.

Documentable knowledge, skills, abilities, and experience (KSAE)
across any three or more of these categories is required.

This is a natural fit for those with experience in Military Force
Structure Analysis and Management (e.g., TOE, MTOE, TDA, Joint Table
of Allowances - JTA, Army Manpower Management, Air Force Management
Engineering, Navy Efficiency Reviews, Doctrinal and Combat
Development) OMB Management Analysis, systems analysis).

Training on the applied analysis and modeling methodology,
metaschema, and technologies will be provided during early stages of
any resultant employment or independent contract (IRS 1099).

I missed this the first time, but I wanted to also draw your attention
to a course at the upcoming CHI2006 conference in Montreal (April
22-26) at which Hearst, and Smalley + Chandler(both from eBay) will be
presenting a course titled
"Faceted metadata for information architecture and search"
you've got a chance to view the PDF here even if you can't attend:
http://bailando.sims.berkeley.edu/talks/chi_course06.pdf

Many thanks to Marti for her generosity!

From the description:

The purpose of this course is to introduce and explain a systematic approach to
designing information architecture for web sites consisting of large
collections of items.
The main goals of the approach are to produce websites with multiple
different views to
reflect differences in user's preferred search and browsing methods,
to incorporate
search uniformly throughout the design of the site, and to do this in
a manner that makes
use of standard technology and allows non-experts to be able to add to
the content of
the site without disturbing the other properties.

The main objective of the course is to instruct attendees about how to integrate
navigation and search for large collections in a seamless, flexible
manner that helps
users find things quickly and browse items comfortably. The course
will present a
method for developing such interfaces and steer attendees away from
common pitfalls.
It will also present justifications for the approach in the form of
usability results and real world application of the ideas. Finally, it
will point out the limitations of the approach.

Clustering versus Faceted Categories for Information.
Communications of the ACM, 49 (4), April 2006. p. 59-61.

Excerpt: There are many open research questions about how to generate
useful groupings and
how to design interfaces to support exploration using grouping.
Currently two methods are
quite popular: clustering and faceted categorization. Here, I describe
both approaches and
summarize their advantages and disadvantages based on the results of
usability studies.

you care about these words.

Hi there,

I am SAM, an Iraqi refugee living in Lebanon at the moment; I have spent the
last 10 years of my life as a refugee registered with the UNHCR in Beirut. The
last 4 years, I have spent as an activist for peace and human rights (especially
refugees and asylum seekers) on the Internet; I'm also books author and ebooks
publisher. I have launched many campaigns to improve our situation as refugees
in Lebanon and hopefully bring more understanding to our problems worldwide. I
helped make many changes and improvements at the UNHCR office in Beirut; I used
the Internet as the field for my activities (you can read more about that in my
free ebook 'MY CAMPAIGNS'). All my ebooks are free and could be download from my
sites.

This is my newest campaign, it's about the illegal and humiliating actions of
the UNHCR, who using photos of refugees as banners and human-buttons to collect
money. This is an abuse of the dignity and humanity of the refugees and must
stop immediately and a clear public apology present by The United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees. My friends, I am talking about the pictures you can
see here:

For more info about UNHCR and life of refugees you can read my free ebooks. I
invite you as fellow humans and members of the world community to support my
campaign by reading my article on my site and see the human-buttons. The
campaign is to support and improve the UNHCR http://www.unhcr.ch especially
after the last scandals in the UN and UNHCR, just for example:

Subject: Check out the first fully faceted public OPAC at NCSU

spapa1999

Hello,

I haven't seen anyone post a link to the new OPAC at NCSU and
thought it might be of interest to everyone as it is a rich example
of the use of facets.

To get an idea on how well received it is....one student recently
commented that "The new system is incredible. It would be difficult
to exaggerate how much better it is than our old online card catalog
(and therefore that of most other universities). I've found myself
searching the catalog just for fun, whereas before it was a chore to
find what I needed."

Link to the new OPAC search:
http://www2.lib.ncsu.edu/catalog/?
view=full&Ntt=ranganathan&Ntk=Keyword&N=206305&Nty=1

Guide to the faceted interface:
http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/catalog/index_arrows.html

Press release:
http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/news/libraries.php?p=1998&more=1

A few of the blog entries:
http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/endeca/press.html

If I can be of any help sharing our experiences helping NCSU let me
know.

Full disclaimer: I am the founder of Endeca. I wanted to share this
site as the entire Endeca team is very pleaseed to play a small role
in inspiring the NCSU students to spend more time appreciating the
great treasures in the library.

Best,
Steve Papa

Hi

If you have designed any faceted classification
scheme, could you please give a link to the schedules
so that I can have a look at it?

Thanks

There is so little traffic on here, I frequently forget that I had
signed up months ago.

That said, it doesn't help that I never introduced myself!

I'll start with my organization - As you may be aware, Delphi Group
has been involved in the Content/Information Management space from a
consulting, event, and research/advisory standpoint for roughly 16
years.

As all of this has been adopted, there have been many stumbling
points in implementation - information remains lost, even once in a
central location, and even with a central repository, anywhere from
20-80% of enterprise content is still not within the repository, and
remains unfindable.

We've been running an event called Delphi's Proving Ground for
Information Architecture & Taxonomy for nearly 5 years now, and have
had hundreds of attendees representing organizations across a wide
variety of industries, from aerospace to pharmaceuticals, financial
services to gas, power, energy, and more.

If your organization is experiencing pains with findability and in
connecting your unstructured information systems together as a
working WHOLE solution, this very project-focused (you MUST bring a
project related to Information Architecture or Taxonomy), team-
oriented (teams of 2-12 are quite common, although single attendees
are welcome) event is specifically built to help break your project
out of a stuck mode or get your freshly launched project positioned
for successful implementation.

We have been covering faceted classification as a portion of this
program since we had first created it, but are spending more and more
time within the last 9 months or so diving deeper into faceted
classification.

As for me, I've been one of the instructors/consultants with this
program area for 4 years, and have been with Delphi Group for 11+ years.

If you are interested in the formal bio for me, take a gander at:
http://www.delphigroup.com/about/people/dan_keldsen/

For the more free-form look at what I'm up to, the blog is the best
source:
http://delphigroup.blogs.com/dan_keldsen/
(and feel free to comment - let me know if I'm off my rocker, dead
on, or anywhere else on or off the target)

I will grant you that I may have been drinking our cool aid for a
while now, but I believe we provide serious value and firepower to
you, your team and your project on these topics.

The next Proving Ground is March 7-9, 2006 in beautiful Boca Raton,
Florida - which is coming up fast.

More information is at:
http://www.delphigroup.com/pg-facetedclassification

I hope to see you there, and if you have any questions, feel free to
get in touch with me directly (info below) to discuss this program,
or these topics, from any and all angles.

wtd@...

I digitized a 1964 talk by Ranganathan about Melvil Dewey, and have made
it available as an MP3:

 	 http://www.miskatonic.org/library/ranganathan-audio.html

It's 6 MB and 15 minutes long.  Ranganathan never met Dewey, but they did
correspond.  Dewey wanted Ranganathan to help him improve his
classification system but died before the first edition of COLON
CLASSICATION was published.  Ranganathan recounts this and some other
ancedotes.  I was glad when I found the old cassette tape of the speech
and could hear Ranganathan talk.

W3C Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group

We are pleased to announce the publication of the following technical reports as
second W3C Public Working Drafts:

   SKOS Core Guide
   http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-guide-20051102/

   SKOS Core Vocabulary Specification
   http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-spec-20051102/

For a summary of revisions since first Working Draft publication see:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-swbp-skos-core-spec-20051102/#secchanges

SKOS Core is a simple, flexible and extensible language for expressing in a
machine-understandable form the structure and content of concept schemes such as
thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies,
'folksonomies', other types of controlled vocabulary, and also concept schemes
embedded in glossaries and terminologies.

For links to tutorials, presentations, development information, version history,
translations, proposals, datasets and more see the SKOS Core home page:

http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core/

The SKOS Core Vocabulary is an application of the Resource Description Framework
(RDF).  Using RDF allows data to be linked to and/or merged with other data. In
practice, this means that distributed sources of data can be meaningfully
composed and integrated.

For more information about RDF and related specifications, see the Semantic Web
Activity home page:

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/

The 'SKOS Core Guide' is a guide to the recommended usage of the SKOS Core
Vocabulary, for readers who already have a basic understanding of RDF concepts.

The 'SKOS Core Vocabulary Specification' gives a reference-style overview of the
SKOS Core Vocabulary, and describes policies for ownership, naming, persistence
and change management.

These reports are second public Working Drafts, and are work in progress.  We
ask at this stage for feedback from anyone with a potential interest in using
these specifications, or with relevant expertise.  Please send comments and
suggestions on these drafts to public-esw-thes@... and begin the subject line
of the message with 'comment:'.  If possible, please send comments before 31st
January 2006.

The Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Working Group is committed to a
public, consensus-driven design environment for SKOS Core, and to this end
conducts all SKOS-related discussion in public, in particular drawing on
feedback from the Semantic Web Interest Group mailing list:

   public-esw-thes@...

This work has benefited greatly from contributions made
by the members of this mailing list, and their feedback, suggestions and
encouragement are gratefully acknowledged.  The public-esw-thes@... mailing
list is open, and anyone is welcome to subscribe or to post messages.  To
subscribe, send an email to public-esw-thes-request@... with the subject line
