Key differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 - G. Cormode & B. Krishnamurthy - First Monday, Vol.13, N. 6, June 2008 Abstract: Web 2.0 is a buzzword introduced in 2003–04 which is commonly used to encompass various novel phenomena on the World Wide Web. Although largely a marketing term, some of the key attributes associated with Web 2.0 include the growth of social networks, bi–directional communication, various ‘glue’ technologies, and significant diversity in content types. We are not aware of a technical comparison between Web 1.0 and 2.0. While most of Web 2.0 runs on the same substrate as 1.0, there are some key differences. We capture those differences and their implications for technical work in this paper. Our goal is to identify the primary differences leading to the properties of interest in 2.0 to be characterized. We identify novel challenges due to the different structures of Web 2.0 sites, richer methods of user interaction, new technologies, and fundamentally different philosophy. Although a significant amount of past work can be reapplied, some critical thinking is needed for the networking community to analyze the challenges of this new and rapidly evolving environment.

Ontology of Learning Objects Repository for Pedagogical Knowledge Sharing - S. Wang - Interdisciplinary Journal of E-Learning and Learning Objects Volume 4, 2008 Abstract: Ontology has been receiving considerable attention in the learning objects research community.This paper discusses the key concepts of ontology of learning objects repository and proposes an ontological model for pedagogical knowledge sharing. The ontological model specifies a generic organizational structure for learning objects repository based on pedagogical design categories. An ontology that actualizes such a structure allows the user of the learning objects repository to play an active role in pedagogical development through searching semantically relevant learning objects. An example of ontology for pedagogical knowledge sharing is used to illustrate the concepts of the development and use of ontologies of learning objects repository. Full text: PDF |

The governance of University knowledge transfer - Aldo Geuna & Alessandro Muscio - SPRU Electronic Working Paper Series (SEWPS), September 2008 Abstract: Universities have long been involved in knowledge transfer activities. Yet the last 30 years have seen major changes in the governance of university-industry interactions. Knowledge transfer has become a strategic issue: as a source of funding for university research and, (rightly or wrongly) as a policy tool for economic development. Universities vary enormously in the extent to which they promote and succeed in commercializing academic research. The identification of clear-cut models of governance for university-industry interactions and knowledge transfer processes is not straightforward. The purpose of this work is to analyse university knowledge transfer models and assess recent developments in the literature on intellectual property rights, spin-offs and research collaborations. The paper also addresses the role played by university knowledge transfer organizations in promoting commercialization of research results. Full text: PDF |
