    4. The environment

    5. Somewhere around here – where the yellow line is – the reasons to go digital outweighed the reasons to stay physical/paper based. Somewhere around here – where the yellow line is – the reasons to go digital outweighed the reasons to stay physical/paper based.

    6. Imagine now that for each term within a discipline there was a page on the web that organized all of the surrounding content for a particular subject within a discipline. That’s what we’re aiming for – and that’s what we’re close to achieving for music and drama.Imagine now that for each term within a discipline there was a page on the web that organized all of the surrounding content for a particular subject within a discipline.

    7. Discovery

    8. Integration is unavoidable

    9. Even when they do have limiting fields they’re not the ones that academics need. Here is a search for ‘myocardial infarct’. Only the date posted to SpringerLink actually restricts the results in a useful way.Even when they do have limiting fields they’re not the ones that academics need.

    10. A cataloging problem No common agreement as to terms No common agreement as to level of granularity A linking problem Some successes in journals A financial problem Few models to monetize links It’s expensive to do this properly Discovery of the best, rarest, the most unique items remains elusive Discovery

    11. A closer look…

    12. Granularity of tagging

    13. Granularity of results

    14. Discovery

    15. ‘Semantic’ Indexing 90% of the fields in most commercial databases are oriented towards the physical artifact. Who published, when did they publish, what was the title of the publication, etc. Although these fields are important students, scholars and researchers are increasingly looking to answer much more sophisticated queries.90% of the fields in most commercial databases are oriented towards the physical artifact.

    20. More than a way to answer questions A framework by which users can be guided to understand, explore, discover and learn. A route-map to guide users through data - saving time and effort. Delivers answers that cannot be asked elsewhere Facilitates discovery within the discipline Semantic Indexing…

    21. Discovery

    22. Links as the defining value added

    23. Some examples from ASP

    24. Building discovery…

    25. No silos!

    31. Search functionality In the first 15 years after the Restoration of Charles II in England (1660 – 1674), the word “antichrist” appears relatively infrequently near the terms “pope,” “papacy,” and “papal.” However, between the year 1675 and the time of the Glorious Revolution (1688), the words “antichrist” and “beast” begin showing up with high frequency near terms relating to the papacy. In fact, the word “antichrist” is the 2nd most common word occurring in close proximity—more common even than the words “church” and “Rome.” Interestingly, with the stability achieved in the wake of 1688 this sort of anti-papal polemic practically disappears. In theological texts published in England between 1688 and 1700, the word “antichrist” is not even among the 100 most common words occurring near terms relating to the papacy.In the first 15 years after the Restoration of Charles II in England (1660 – 1674), the word “antichrist” appears relatively infrequently near the terms “pope,” “papacy,” and “papal.” However, between the year 1675 and the time of the Glorious Revolution (1688), the words “antichrist” and “beast” begin showing up with high frequency near terms relating to the papacy.
