This paper will discuss some of the advantages and complexities in using the Resource Description Framework, RDF, to express learning object metadata following the IEEE LOM standard. We will describe some details of the current draft for a complete RDF binding for LOM and discuss some of the constructs used in that binding. We will then present a so-called SHAME Query Model of this binding that...

In this paper, we suggest a conceptual model of a Web application framework for the composition and documentation of soundscape and introduce corresponding prototype projects, SeoulSoundMap and SoundScape Composer. We also survey the current Web-based sound projects in terms of soundscape documentation.

Enterprise Architecture (EA) frameworks provide a wide range of architecture components. Contextual EA components provide the necessary guidance to design specific architectures in a given context e.g. for PanEuropean Government Services (PEGS). Contextual EA components help to describe the background and scope of architecture work and provide a ground to tackle architecture challenges in an ag...

This paper explores the applicability of the concept of task/technology fit (TTF) to investigate the relationships between organizational tasks and the use of different mobile applications in an enterprise setting. Although the results are inconclusive as far as the viability of the TTF construct is concerned, they do point out clearly that (a) significant benefits can indeed be derived from th...

This paper continues our work on the analysis and formalization of enterprise architecture frameworks, proposing a number of principles related to the construction and use of these frameworks. These principles are intended to guide the development of a formal foundation for frameworks. Enterprise architecture frameworks organize, manage, and interrelate the wide variety of models used to struct...

Standard logics and Datalog-related logics have both been proposed as underlying formalisms for the Semantic Web. Although these two different formalism groups have some commonalities, and look similar in the context of expressively-impoverished languages like RDF, their differences become apparent at more expressive language levels. After considering some of these differences, we argue that, a...

Cloud computing is one of the biggest thing in computing in recent time. Cloud computing uses the internet and the central remote servers to support different data and applications. Cloud computing is that emerging technology which is used for providing various computing and storage services over the Internet. In the cloud computing, the internet is viewed as a cloud. Internet users can receive...

in a recent editorial for this journal, el-jardali and fadlallah proposed a new framework for knowledge translation (kt) in healthcare. many such frameworks already exist; thus, new entrants to the field must be scrutinized in regard to their unique contributions to advancing understanding and practice. the el-jardali and fadlallah framework focuses on policy-level discussions, a relatively und...
