Conor Williams: Educational Productivity and the Reform Wars - 0 views

  • data difficulties in "some" cases hardly eviscerate a study of "more than 9,000 districts that enroll more than 85 percent of all U.S. students."
  • Poverty does not make productive, efficient education impossible.
  •  
    data was hard to come by in some districts, it was untrustworthy in others and controlling for all relevant variables when comparing school districts is really, really difficult.

The original proposal of the WWW, HTMLized - 0 views

  • Non requirements Discussions on Hypertext have sometimes tackled the problem of copyright enforcement and data security. These are of secondary importance at CERN, where information exchange is still more important than secrecy. Authorisation and accounting systems for hypertext could conceivably be designed which are very sophisticated, but they are not proposed here. In cases where reference must be made to data which is in fact protected, existing file protection systems should be sufficient.
  • In a complex place like CERN, it's not always obvious how to divide people into groups. Imagine making a large three-dimensional model, with people represented by little spheres, and strings between people who have something in common at work.
  •  
    This document was an attempt to persuade CERN management that a global hypertext system was in CERN's interests. Note that the only name I had for it at this time was "Mesh" -- I decided on "World Wide Web" when writing the code in 1990.

Social Network Analysis - 0 views

  • Nodes that connect their group to others usually end up with high network metrics. Boundary spanners such as Fernando, Garth, and Heather are more central in the overall network than their immediate neighbors whose connections are only local, within their immediate cluster. You can be a boundary spanner via your bridging connections to other clusters or via your concurrent membership in overlappping groups. Boundary spanners are well-positioned to be innovators, since they have access to ideas and information flowing in other clusters. They are in a position to combine different ideas and knowledge, found in various places, into new products and services.

    Social network analysis [SNA] is the mapping and measuring of relationships and flows between people, groups, organizations, computers, URLs, and other connected information/knowledge entities. The nodes in the network are the people and groups while the links show relationships or flows between the nodes. SNA provides both a visual and a mathematical analysis of human relationships. Management consultants use this methodology with their business clients and call it Organizational Network Analysis [ONA].

TweetStats:: Graphin 'Su Estadísticas - 1 views

    Hace Estadísticas de tu Cuenta.

    De hecho cualquier persona puede poner el nombre de otra y observar las estadísticas de comportamiento de esa otra persona. Es por tanto, una herramienta de doble filo, permite comparar tu actividad con la de otros, pero por otra parte están controlando a qué horarios te conectas, a quien retuiteas, cuales son las palabras que más utilizas, etc. A mí personalmente me ha sorprendido mis propias acciones. A veces piensas que vas en una dirección y sin embargo estás performando otra. Si alguna persona lo prueba, me gustaría saber su opinión. Saludos

    20 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. For his next project, he's building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together.

Semantic Documents - 0 views

    SDArch - Semantic Document Architecture is our atempt to bring the vision of the Semantic Web to desktop office-like documents. SDArch aims at enabling desktop document data to be efficiently discovered, linked and shared across application, enterprise and community boundaries. It introduces 'semantic documents' as completely open and queryable resources, containing data which is uniquely identified, semantically annotated and understandable by both humans and software agents.
