Abstract: "By analyzing six different event-centric datasets of resources shared in social media in the period from June 2009 to March 2012, we found about 11% lost and 20% archived after just a year and an average of 27% lost and 41% archived after two and a half years. Furthermore, we found a nearly linear relationship between time of sharing of the resource and the percentage lost, with a slightly less linear relationship between time of sharing and archiving coverage of the resource. From this model we conclude that after the first year of publishing, nearly 11% of shared resources will be lost and after that we will continue to lose 0.02% per day." Wonder how this compares with some of the "linkrot" or disappearing web resource links studies in the '00s?

provides access to a comprehehsive set of software packages easing the exploration, modification, comparison, and extension of data mining and information visualization algorithms. Diverse software packages were bundled into learning modules. Access to a large-scale data repository, extensive compute resources, and a growing set of references are provided as well. It is our hope that the community will adopt this resource to foster Information Visualization education and research.

DZero collaborators perform the data analysis for the experiment using a variety of computational resources, including Open Science Grid and EGEE. "Computing resources are playing a very important role in particle physics with many exciting results, including di-muon charge asymmetry, obtained with heavy use of grid," Denisov said.

Excerpt: "will involve the use of an ecosystem of interacting web-based resources, including the infrastructure provided by the Virtual Observatory, data provisioning services from Astronomy archives, a variety of analysis services such as Astrometry.net, notification services such as skyalert.org, and visualization services such as CDS's Aladin and Microsoft's WorldWideTelescope."

"As more sources for citation information have become available - even many scholarly databases today offering cited reference data - the need to identify, access and manage these resources is becoming acute. Information professionals need to become more proactive in their strategies to support these applications and users. .."

The CLARIN project is a large-scale pan-European collaborative effort to create, coordinate and make language resources and technology available and readily usable. CLARIN offers scholars the tools to allow computer-aided language processing, addressing one or more of the multiple roles language plays (i.e. carrier of cultural content and knowledge, instrument of communication, component of identity and object of study) in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
