             Subject: the Semantic Web

    Humanists interested in hypertext research and the Web in particular will
    likely want to read "The Semantic Web: A new form of Web content that is
    meaningful to computers will unleash a revolution of new possibilities" by
    Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler and Ora Lassila, in the current issue of
    Scientific American. The article is available online, at
    <http://www.sciam.com/2001/0501issue/0501berners-lee.html>.

    Yours,

    NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT
    News on Networking Cultural Heritage Resources
    from across the Community
    April 10, 2001

                 Max Marmor,"Toward User-Centered Digital Image Libraries"
                              CLIR Issues, March/April 2000
                  <http://www.clir.org/pubs/issues/issues20.html#toward>http://www.clir.org/pubs/issues/issues20.html#toward

    In relation to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's formal announcement of
    ArtSTOR,
    <<http://www.mellon.org/artstor%20announcement.html>http://www.mellon.org/artstor%20announcement.html>,

    readers may be interested in a recent article in the CLIR Issues newsletter
    on developing "user-centered" digital image libraries. The piece is written
    by Max Marmor, Director of Yale University's Art and Architecture Library
    and currently CLIR Distinguished Fellow.

    Marmor cites examples of digital image libraries created not in an ad hoc
    manner from materials most readily available but from a process of
    consultation and cooperation with scholars and other users of such materials.

                 _ SciELO: Scientific Electronic Library Online _

        I've learned of a most impressive virtual library of full-text Brazilian
    e-journals called _ SciELO: Scientific Electronic Library Online _

                    [ http://www.scielo.br/ ]

    The colllection includes journals in all subject areas.

         An alphabetical list, subject list, and search form for the journals in
    this collection is available, as are author and subject indexes and a search
    form for author and subject searching.

        In general, coverage is available for the most recent few years.
