This book was released on 1995-04-19 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advises the National Archives and Records Administration and federal R&D agencies on the long-term retention of scientific and technical data, particularly in electronic formats. It proposes the creation of a National Scientific Information Resource Federation, which would apply a strategic data life-cycle management plan to better link the government's existing scientific data holdings and improve public access to those holdings. The book is expected to draw attention to data management concerns in the context of the current government emphasis on promoting a National Information Infrastructure and to make a significant contribution to improving the inadequate situation regarding our nation's valuable scientific data and information resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone, in today's society, is struggling with this dominant and imposing thing called the physical universe and strives toward a higher understanding of its inner workings, and yet most books present the basic concepts with so much complexity and filled with so many mathematical equations that the general public has given up on the subject and perforce has decided to retire to the sideline to be a spectator. In other words, his hope has been dashed aside and his dream of a higher understanding has not been fulfilled in any of the books. The present work is the culmination of many years of study, observation, and pondering on the dilemmas and enigmas of the physical universe and their origin and the resultant understandings that was extracted from this sophisticated and at times incomprehensible arena. Within the confines of this book, one is given a chance for the first time to take an in-depth look and inspect first-hand, the code of one of the most enigmatic universe that has ever been constructed. Its dominance and imposing characteristics in all aspects of our existence is truly remarkable. The basics are laid in simple terms and clear explanations express the powerful principles lucidly and dynamically, providing an unforgettable impression in the reader's mind. Rather than looking into the complicated mathematical equations for solutions, Man's long search for answers to the riddles of the technical world will finally be amply rewarded through the pages of this book. By avoiding undue complexities, the reader will achieve simplicity of thought and will be actually traveling in the direction of "the actual why" and thus be able to understand how to crack the code of anyuniverse. It is an interestingly uncommon book written primarily for the technical as well as the non-technical man. It is intended to serve several classes of our society a) The technically versed individuals, b) The interested but non-technical individuals, c) The professional scientists. This book will surely serve also an important class of our society-the technical inventors who is looking for inspirations and new ideas to imbue him with enough understanding to finalize and materialize his thoughts into reality. It is also written for the average man who may or may not be technically versed and yet desires to learn about the universe at large, or the technical world in his immediate surroundings. It is intended to lift the aura of "black magic" surrounding the world of sciences, to enlighten and demystify the subject of sciences in the minds of ordinary individuals. The broad importance of this work could be summed up as a totally new approach to understanding our scientific world through the use of newly discovered fundamentals (missing in all technical books), which add a tremendous amount of simplicity and clarity to very complex problems. This is a new approach unmatched in any extant text today. The discovery of these fundamentals has had a huge impact on our current world and has truly made our scientific arena a bright beacon of hope with a renewed interest in understanding our physical universe. This work has created a "unified theory "about the two distinct concepts: physical and thought universe. Finally, this work paves the way for the scientist as well as the non-technical individual to formulate and develop the code that starts to crack open the "Material or PhysicalUniverse" and ends up with the key to the kingdom of the "Thought Universe."
Download or read book Research Agenda for Networked Cultural Heritage written by Getty Art History Information Program and published by J. Paul Getty Museum. This book was released on 1996 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid growth of multimedia computing and the Internet, and the entrance of the commercial sector into information and the education sector previously dominated by academic interests, have raised the stakes for arts and humanities computing. In addition, ongoing reductions in funding for arts, humanities and educational research have made it imperative that dollars be well spent. The Getty Art History Information Program (AHIP) commissioned eight individuals to write papers on research issues considered critical to future progress in arts and humanities computing, and conducted two electronic discussions, open to the Internet community, to stimulate reaction to their views. In addition to the full text of the papers, this report provides a summary of the papers and discussions as a basis for identifying issues that any research agenda in arts and humanities computing should address. The papers are: (1) "Tools for Creating and Exploiting Content" (Robert Kolker and Ben Shneiderman); (2) "Knowledge Representation" (Susan Hockey); (3) "Resource Search and Discovery" (Gary Marchionini); (4) "Conversion of Traditional Source Materials into Digital Form" (Anne R. Kenney); (5) "Image and Multimedia Retrieval" (Donna M. Romer); (6) "Learning and Teaching" (Janet H. Murray); (7) "Archiving and Authenticity" (David Bearman); (8) "New Social and Economic Mechanisms To Encourage Access" (John Garrett). A topical index to the papers and a glossary are located at the end of the report. (Author/SWC)
