Libraries around the world have a long tradition of maintaining authority files to assure the consistent presentation and indexing of names. As library authority files have become available online, the authority data has become accessible -- and many have been published as Linked Open Data (LOD) -- but names in one library authority file typically had no link to corresponding records for persons and organizations in other library authority files. After a successful experiment in matching the Library of Congress/NACO authority file with the German National Library's authority file, an online system called the Virtual International Authority File was developed to facilitate sharing by ingesting, matching, and displaying the relations between records in multiple authority files.
The Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) has grown from three source files in 2007 to more than two dozen files today. The system harvests authority records, enhances them with bibliographic information and brings them together into clusters when it is confident the records describe the same identity. Although the most visible part of VIAF is a HTML interface, the API beneath it supports a linked data view of VIAF with URIs representing the identities themselves, not just URIs for the clusters. It supports names for person, corporations, geographic entities, works, and expressions. With English, French, German, Spanish interfaces (and a Japanese in process), the system is used around the world, with over a million queries per day.
Speaker
Thomas Hickey is Chief Scientist at OCLC where he helped found OCLC Research. Current interests include metadata creation and editing systems, authority control, parallel systems for bibliographic processing, and information retrieval and display. In addition to implementing VIAF, his group looks into exploring Web access to metadata, identification of FRBR works and expressions in WorldCat, the algorithmic creation of authorities, and the characterization of collections. He has an undergraduate degree in Physics and a Ph.D. in Library and Information Science.
The document discusses the use of faceted classification to analyze and categorize virtual worlds. It defines 10 facets that emerged from studying 75 virtual worlds, such as dominant content form, user communication, object ownership, and user relationships. Two specific virtual worlds, World of Warcraft and Second Life, are analyzed based on these facets. The document concludes by suggesting several virtual worlds that could be useful for educational purposes based on their characteristics.
The document discusses the conflict between traditional academia and emerging technologies. It uses the analogy of the Battle of Agincourt to represent the conflict between institutional learning and social learning. Academia may be moving too slowly in adopting new technologies, while students are increasingly using social media and online tools to access and share information. However, the document suggests finding a middle ground where academics engage with these new technologies and learning happens through networks of people sharing knowledge in both formal and informal ways online.
The Seven Deadly Sins Of Technology In HigherSarah Robbins
油
This is very tongue in cheek but I think it's on point regarding the kinds of mistakes that we all make in our reactions to the way tech has changed the higher ed landscape.
The document discusses how social media is changing the role of education by allowing learning to occur outside of traditional institutions. Many benefits traditionally provided by higher education, such as access to resources, experts, and communities, can now be found on social media. However, it also creates challenges as the production and consumption of information has become more democratic and decentralized. The role of educators is shifting from gatekeepers of knowledge to guides who teach students how to learn, contribute, and navigate the online information landscape.
Using technology and social networks can help YPOs engage younger professionals, but there are barriers. Social networks create a lot of noise that can drown out organizations. YPOs should not abandon traditional methods, and need to be clear about their value proposition. They must act as good hosts on social networks and ensure their offerings are worth a person's time and attention.

The document discusses the rise of user-generated content on the internet and defines key concepts of Web 2.0. It notes that over 3,250 hours of content are uploaded to YouTube daily, there are over 82 million blogs, and 40 exabytes of new information will be generated worldwide in a year. Web 2.0 is defined as empowering users to both consume and produce content through technologies like wikis, social networks, and by allowing customization and sharing of applications. Examples provided include Flickr, Delicious, and LinkedIn as platforms that enable user-generated content and social interactions through new applications and programming interfaces.
The document discusses search engine optimization and increasing web traffic. It explains how search engines work by crawling websites, indexing keywords, and ranking pages based on relevant content and backlinks. It emphasizes that the goal of websites is to inform, entertain, and engage visitors, so location (rankings) is important to driving the traffic needed for business success. Key metrics for measuring web traffic are also outlined.
This document discusses some of the pedagogical challenges and opportunities of using Second Life in higher education. It notes that Second Life allows for flexible identity expression and a collaborative, global online environment with a low entry cost, but that some students and faculty may find the interface difficult or feel uncomfortable. However, it also argues that navigating discomfort can parallel knowledge acquisition. The document also addresses challenges like image slippage for faculty and constant environmental changes, but suggests opportunities for student exploration and partnership in teaching virtual space navigation.
The document discusses the concept of Web 2.0, which was coined in 2005 and refers to online services that emphasize user-generated content, heavy interaction, and sharing. It describes four key elements of Web 2.0 - prosumer participation, connectedness, APIs, and remote data storage. Examples of Web 2.0 applications and trends are given, such as user-generated content on sites like YouTube, Flickr, and blogs. The growth of new information and how Web 2.0 is changing models of communication are also briefly touched on. The document concludes by discussing how businesses can leverage Web 2.0 applications and services.

The document discusses how identities are expressed in online learning spaces and virtual worlds like Second Life. It notes that individuals have multiple identities relating to relationships, professions, activities, personality and style. These identities can be real, virtual, or projected. When designing online learning spaces, it's important to consider what identities and relationships are enabled and constrained by the interface. For authentic learning, spaces should allow students' real identities, while engagement comes from working towards virtual identities. Forming community involves sharing projected potentials.

Monetizing AI APIs: The New API Economy EmergesAllan Knabe
油
Presented by Allan Knabe, CEO of Apiable.io
As AI continues its march from novelty to necessity, the business models powering its ecosystem are starting to matter as much as the models themselves. This talk dives into how AI APIs especially those built on foundation models like OpenAI can be packaged, priced, and monetized effectively for B2B and B2B2B use cases.
Well explore where value accrues across the stackfrom infrastructure to models to applicationsand how developers and API providers can carve out a sustainable business in the middle layers. Youll get a breakdown of the emerging monetization patterns, including usage-based pricing, token-based metering, and credit wallet systems, as well as the hidden pitfalls of bundling APIs into high-tier plans without clear usage tracking.
Drawing on real-world examples and customer implementations, this session will unpack:
Why most AI apps are still using outdated pricing models
How to think about tokens, jobs, and digital workers as billing units
The practical mechanics of API monetization via gateways, portals, and billing tools like Stripe
Why giving customers your raw OpenAI API key is a terrible idea, and how to fix it
Whether you're building a SaaS product powered by AI, running a developer platform, or exploring API-first strategies for generative agents, this talk will help you move from experimental to executable.
