GILS: What is it? Where's it going?
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of GILS is to make it easier for people to locate information, in all its forms, in all languages, for all time. This is perhaps a somewhat grand statement, but the free flow of information really is the touchstone of GILS. This leads into all sorts of interesting implications-ranging over technology policy, scientific research, socio-economics, geo-politics, and so on. Whether you call it the "Government Information Locator Service", the "Generic Information Locator Service", or the "Global Information Locator Service", the overarching goal of GILS is help people locate information.

This commentary expands on two of the key themes briefly raised in the paper involving analysis of the evidence about key contextual influences on decisions of value.

متن کاملLi-Huei Tsai: I well remember
C dk5 is a kinase expressed mainly in neurons, where it helps regulate the activity of a whole host of downstream targets, including ion channels and synaptic scaffold proteins. Thus, it's perhaps to be expected that Cdk5 dysregulation is associated with many neuropathologies (1). Li-Huei Tsai cloned Cdk5 as a post-doc (2) and decided she wanted to study it further in her own lab. When asked du...
