We outline the main elements of what we call polyscopic structuring of information and argue that information needs to be structured accordingly. The principles of polyscopy may both serve as guidelines for creating Topic Maps, and provide orientation for further development of Topic Maps standards and software.

vi CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW 1

Topic Maps are means for representing sophisticated, conceptual indexes of any information collection for the purpose of semantic information integration. To properly fulfil this purpose, the generation of Topic Maps has to base on a solid theory. This paper proposes the Observation Principle as the theoretical fundament of a future scientific discipline Topic Maps Engineering. SemanticTalk gen...

In dieser Untersuchung werden die drei Lokalen Suchmaschinen Google Maps, Bing Maps und TOnline Maps in einem kombinierten Eye-Trackingund Usability-Test verglichen. Es zeigen sich sowohl Probleme bei der Benutzung einzelner Suchmaschinen als auch übergreifende Ergebnisse, die für die Gestaltung von kartenbasierten Suchmaschinen relevant sind. Wir geben Empfehlungen für die Gestaltung solcher S...

genetic markers are one of the advances which have occured in the genomics era. among genetic markers, molecular markers mainly because of their abundance, are the most widely used them. development of molecular markers has greatly altered genetics and plant breeding. genetic markers indicate the genetic differences between different organs or species. some studies which were conducted during t...

A low resolution Not I physical map of Escherichia coli was recently constructed. In this report we demonstrated that this map can be used to map Tn5 and F insertions physically. The transposon, Tn5, contains Not I recognition sequences in its IS50 sequences. F plasmid contains an unmapped Not I site. Hence, the location of Tn5 and F in the chromosome can be mapped by identifying the location o...

For whole-genome analysis in a basal chordate (protochordate), we used F1 pseudo-testcross mapping strategy and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers to construct primary linkage maps of the ascidian tunicate Ciona intestinalis. Two genetic maps consisted of 14 linkage groups, in agreement with the haploid chromosome number, and contained 276 and 125 AFLP loci derived from cross...

The genetic maps of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe were extended through the use of haploidization (spontaneous or induced by m-fluorophenylalanine), as well as by tetrad, random spore and mitotic analysis. A new diploidization method utilizing a meiosis-deficient mutant and improved haploidization techniques was employed. As a result of these and previous studies, 118 genetic mark...

We used the IMNpRH2(12,000-rad) RH and IMpRH(7,000-rad) panels to integrate 2019 transcriptome (RNA-seq)-generated contigs with markers from the porcine genetic and radiation hybrid (RH) maps and bacterial artificial chromosome finger-printed contigs, into 1) parallel framework maps (LOD ≥ 10) on both panels for swine chromosome (SSC) 4, and 2) a high-resolution comparative map of SSC4, thus an...

MOTIVATION With the rapid accumulation of genetic data for a multitude of different species, the availability of intuitive comparative genomic tools becomes an important requirement for the research community. Here we describe a web-based comparative viewer for mapping data, including genetic, physical and cytological maps, that is part of the SGN website (http://sgn.cornell.edu/) but that can ...
