Citation Analysis and Semantic Blogging

Resources of the Week
1) Citation Indexing
This week three articles for your reading list.
+ The FUTURE of Citation Indexing: An Interview with Eugene Garfield
With so much talk about PageRank and web link analysis these days, I think featuring a link to Peter Jacso's interview with the father of citation analysis, Dr. Eugene Garfield, is very appropriate. This interview was first published in the January 2004 issue of Online magazine. Many of the concepts at the core of citation analysis form the foundation of link analysis. Btw, citation analysis is mentioned in the Brin/Page paper, The Anatomy of a Search Engine. It's also mentioned in this article by the IBM CLEVER team (which preceded Google) that included Jon Kleinberg. CLEVER was never publicly released but many of its concepts are being used by Teoma/Jeeves.

Interesting and important reading!

The 1955 article that Dr. Jacso mentions at the beginning of the interview.

2) Semantic Weblogging

+ Semantic Blogging: Spreading the Semantic Web Meme
"The semantic web promises to make the web more useful by endowing metadata with machine processable semantics. Blogging is a lightweight web publishing paradigm which provides a very low barrier to entry, useful syndication and aggregation behaviour, a simple to understand structure and decentralized construction of a rich information network. Semantic blogging builds upon the success and clear network value of blogging by adding additional semantic structure to items shared over the blog channels. In this way we add significant value allowing view, navigation and query along semantic rather than simply chronological or serendipitous connections."

Trends in Blog Searching (PDF; 220 KB)
"Blogs are everywhere, and it is important to be able to search them or make sure you're not searching them when you are looking for authoritative, accurate, and unbiased information." Article by Christina Pikas, Technical Librarian, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, covers blog searching in both general search engines and blog-specific search engines.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?
