SOCIAL NETWORKING & INFORMATION FLUENCY_PHILOSOPHY
PIM (Personal Information Management)
Open mind -> Inter-subjectivity
Distributed Cognition
Principle of Emergence
SOCIALTY
(Messaging, Blogging, Streaming media)
Ontology (give Subjective Path)
Forms Inter-subjectivity
Machine, Human and Socialty in Informa-tion Discovery
User-Cre-ated
Metadata
RDF vo-cabularies
or(Ontol-
ogy)Linked Data(semanti-cally orga-nized data)
Another view of Machine, Human and Socialty in Information Discovery
Mapped data from existing DB (such as MARC)
Þ Social (tagging, bookmarking, networking) - They enable messaging, blogging, streaming media, and tagging
Þ Social networking bandwagon
Information Fluency: -> (computer literacy + information literacy + creative mind)
Information Fluency
Social networks, in some sense, are Library 2.0.
The face of the library's web-presence in the future may look very much like a Social Net-
work Interface.
Social networks and Library 2.0.
A. TYPE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING
Profile-based SNS (MySpace, Facebook)
Content-based SNS (Flickr, Shelfari, Librarything, YouTube) Multi-User Virtual Environments (SecondLife,WOW)
Mobile SNS (MySpace, Facebook)
Micro-blogging/ Presence updates (Twitter)
People Search (Wink)
White label SNS (Ning, Joomla, KickApps, Pringo )_
Web Resources Sharing_Social Tagging (Delicious)
Blended Network (Frapper)
HOW MANY CAN YOU RECOGNIZE THESE?SOCIAL NETWORK INDEX?
B. SOCIAL NETWORKING WEB-SITES
List of social networking websites http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites
Mashable: the Social media guide http://mashable.com/2007/10/23/social-networking-god/
C. WHY SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES?
Free, Fun and Easy to use in many cases Popular – Social Network Bandwagon Many Applications - Continuously being devel-
oped Attract Attention of the patrons Free alternative to expansive software and pro-
grams To share information with staff members To share information with the public and your pa-
trons and collect feedback As your Institute’s Web pages (e.g., Libraries)
3. SOCIAL NETWORKINGS IN LI-BRARIES
Social networking could enable librarians and patrons not only to interact, but to share
and change resources dynamically in an elec-
tronic medium.
3_A: WHY DO LIBRARIES CARE ABOUT SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES?
The next big thing after Google is Social Net-working.
( From “As facebook takes off, Myspace strikes back” Kirkpatrick, Davis. Foutune. Sept. 19,
2007)
3-B: HOW CAN YOU USE SOCIAL NETWORKING IN YOUR LIBRARY?
Start with one program or application at a time Experiment and see what works and what does not work Learn from other libraries who are already doing it Decide what is beneficial for your library and just do it
EXISTING LIBRARY APPLICATION OF SO-CIAL NETWORKING
1) Librarything in libraries2) Twitter in libraries 3) Delicious in libraries 4) Mash up….. could be as an application of
Linked data
1) LIBRARYTHING IN LIBRARIES
http://www.librarything.com/
“Personalized desire from individual’s needs”
“Caaloguing thru tSocial Networking”
LibraryThing is a prominent social cataloging
web application for storing and sharing per-sonal library catalogs and book lists.
LIBRARYTHING IN LIBRARIES
LibraryThing helps you create a library-quality catalog of your books. • .
LibraryThing connects people based on the books
they share.•
2) TWITTER IN LIBRARIES
=> messages are short and to the point. Because of the 140 character limit.
WHAT IS TWITTER ANYWAY?
Wikipedia says: “ Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its
users to send and read other users’ updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to
140 bytes in length.”

LEADING EDGE AT LC
WHAT WOULD A LIBRARY USE TWITTER FOR?
reference tool : Virtual Reference Keeping up with the latest development (by following library leaders: Karen Coyle,
Hegna, Denton etc) market and promote library services has become so widespread library newsletter / upcoming events, /
new programs / announcements / library hours getting feedback from patrons Marketing place for researcher’s publications
From Research Proposal – Findings –Recommenda-tions
EXAMPLES

Mashup your Library's Twitter, Flickr, Youtube,
Facebook accounts!
Libraries mash up content, services and ideas

C. LINKED DATA
“Oh my goodness, the original web of docu-ments was just the tip of iceberg.”
( Sir Tim Berners Lee, July 2008)
CLOSED CONTAINERS OF DATA
Information systems, such as library catalogs, have
been, and still are, for the greatest part closed containers of data, or “silos” without connections between them.
(Tim Berners Lee)
LINKED DATA
Linked Data is a methodology for providing relationships between things (data, concepts and
documents) anywhere on the web, using URI’s for identifying, RDF for describing and HTTP for publishing
these things and relationships, in a way that they can be interpreted and used by humans and software.
.
COLLOCATIONS THROUGH LINKED DATA
Wiki: http://www.wikipedia.org/ vs dbpedia : http://dbpedia.org/About
WorldCat: http://www.worldcat.org/ vs Fictionfinder (FRBR model):
http://fictionfinder.oclc.org
PARADIGM SHIFT IN WWW
LINKED DATA TECHNOLOGY STACK
LINKED DATA PRINCIPLES, BY TBL
Use URIs as names for things Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those
names Provide useful RDF information for a search Include RDF statements that link to other URIs
Example: http://dbpedia.org/page/Dublin
D. Structured data
RDF Resource: Description: Framework:
47 billions RDF triples 1.4 billions RDF link
Subject – Predicate – Objects
URI
Use URIs for naming everything you could think of.
Use URIs for people, fruits, cars, drinks, islands, etc but also for abstract things such as love, war, statistics,
genes, religion, etc
Cool URIs for the semantic web

FRBR
FRBR AS A RDF VOCABULARY FRBR is a complete data model that is a new way of
looking at our data, not just taking existing records and identifying work relationships.
FRBR a type of RDF vocabulary entities and the relationships in FRBR is identifiable,
linkable, usable, and reusable, and everything can
be matched up.

DBpedia Mobile DBpedia Mobile is a location-aware Linked Data browser designed
to be run on an iPhone or other mobile device.
DBpedia Mobile is oriented to the use case of a tourist exploring a city.

LIBRARY RELATED LINKED DATA PROJECTS A brief and incomplete list of some library related Linked Data projects:
RDF BookMashup – Integration of Web 2.0 data sources like Amazon, Google or Yahoo into the Semantic Web.
Library of Congress Authorities – Exposing LoC Autorities and Vocabularies to the web using URI’s
DBPedia – Exposing structured data from WikiPedia to the web
LIBRIS – Linked Data interface to Swedish LIBRIS Union catalog
Scriblio+Wordpress+Triplify – “A social, semantic OPAC Union Catalogue”
CHAPTER 4: SEMANTIC INTEROP-ERABILITY
WHY INTEROPERABILITY?
WAYS OF INTEROPERABILITY
LANGUAGE OF INTEROPERABILITY
Universal identifiers (URIs): like written word – For “connecting the dots”
Abstract syntax (RDF triples): sentence grammar– Foundation of syntactic interoperability
Vocabularies: words and concepts– Foundation of semantic interoperability
Platform for compatible domain models– Application Profiles
Human-understandable – machine-processable
FRBR AS AN RDF VOCABULARY
FRBR can easily be implemented as an RDF vocabulary, that could be used to create a uni-
versal Linked Data library network. It really does not
matter what kind of internal data format the connected
systems use.
PROPOSED MODELS FOR LI-BRARIES
To be discussed Easier application model Intermediate Advanced and complicated models are delin-
eated.
