ABSTRACT
To promote the publication and expedite the availability of conference
proceedings, an experimental archive titled eConf has been established
under the auspices of the SLAC Technical Information Services department.
At this time, the eConf archive is limited to proceedings in high-energy
physics and related fields. The archive
presently contains the conference papers of two proceedings: the 19th
International Symposium on Lepton and Photon Interactions at High Energies
(LP 99) and 20th International
Linac Conference.

ABSTRACT
The targeted audience for EnergyFiles is end users and organizations having
a need for
energy-related scientific and technical information. Anticipated primary
users include
researchers, scientists, project managers, program, managers, academic
(educators and students), and associated information professionals.

Subject: JoDI (V4i4): New Applications of Knowledge Organization
Systems
Journal of Digital Information announces
A SPECIAL ISSUE on New Applications of Knowledge Organization Systems
(Volume 4, issue 4, March 2004)
Special issue Editors: Douglas Tudhope, University of Glamorgan, and
Traugott Koch, Lund University
From the special issue editorial:
"Knowledge Organization Systems/Services (KOS), such as classifications,
gazetteers, lexical databases, ontologies, taxonomies and thesauri, model
the underlying semantic structure of a domain. Embodied as Web-based
services, they can facilitate resource discovery and retrieval. They act as
semantic road maps and make possible a common orientation by indexers and
future users (whether human or machine).
"New networked KOS services and applications are emerging and we are
reaching the stage where we might begin to exploit common representations
and protocols for distributed use. We are not yet in this situation.
However, we have the opportunity to draw on a number of technologies that
can be combined to yield new solutions.
"The papers published here are concerned with various types of KOS, discuss
various standards issues and span the information lifecycle"
http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/Articles/v04/i04/editorial/

Dear Sir:
I would like to inform you about our project and we hope that you can add a link to us on your web site.
http://www.losttrails.com is an educational multi-media web site and our main activity is the 'Herodotus Project'. The Herodotus project is a free serialized new translation of Herodotus along with extensive photography of the locations and artifacts mentioned in the book so that a student of history can explore the text visually while reading it. This project aims to eventually have as complete a pictorial record as possible of the sites mentioned by Herodotus. This is a multi-year effort which is only realizable on the internet. We update the website monthly with newly translated text and a photographic essay of a site mentioned by Herodotus.
Sincerely,
Shane Solow www.losttrails.com www.herodotusproject.org
P.S. our translation of Herodotus has recently been reviewed by Straussian.net and can be viewed here:
