Full textAbstract:
The development of the World Wide Web in the 1990s has brought about various technological advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), which provides fast-growing web solutions (Gough, 2010). One of these web innovations is the emergence and growth of Web 2.0 technology. Web 2.0 Technology with different web sites allows users to create, generate, and share information online. However, its application has been tagged as a critical disruptive technology in education with electronic learning or e-learning. The emergence of Web 2.0 technology is the start of the more complicated innovation in the teaching-learning process. It is the second generation of the World Wide Web. Hence, the paper describes the level of awareness and extent of utilization of Web 2.0 technology of young teachers in Catholic Schools in Antique during the school year 2019-2020 in terms of sex and ICT training. Likewise, it explores the relationship existing between the teachers' demographics and their awareness and extent of utilization. Also, it determines the correlation among awareness and utilization of Web 2.0 technology of young teachers.

Full textAbstract:
Common specification of data promotes data exchange among many and unspecified individuals and organizations. However, standardization itself tends to discourage innovation that can create new uses of data. To overcome this dilemma of innovation and standardization, this paper analyzes and proposes hypotheses regarding the process through which the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has realized innovations such as web applications by updating the standard. I hypothesize the following changes in standardization process management at the W3C as key factors supporting innovation through standardization among stakeholders with conflicting interests: (1) defining the scope of the specifications to be developed according to functions instead of technical structures; (2) design of a development management policy based on feedback from implementations, referred to as an “implementation-oriented policy”; (3) inclusion of diversified stakeholders in open standardization processes that facilitate consensus formation and the diffusion of developed standards; and (4) adopting a royalty-free to encourage third-party developers to implement proposed specifications and advance update of proposals. This single case analysis leads to the development and diffusion of common technological data specifications, which are the driving factors for innovation utilizing big data generated by exchanging data of various origins.

This study analyzes the interaction between sensor research and technology and different types of cancer (breast, lung, colorectal, and prostate) with the goal of detecting new directions for improving diagnosis and therapeutics in medicine. This study develops an approach to computational scientometrics based on data from the Web of Science from the 1991 to 2021 period. The results of this analysis show the vital role of biosensors and electrochemical biosensors applied in breast cancer, lung cancer, and prostate cancer research. Instead, scientific research of optical sensors is developing main technological trajectories in breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer for improving diagnostics. Finally, oxygen sensor research has a main technological development in breast and lung cancer for new applications in breath analysis directed to treatment processes. Preliminary results presented here clearly illustrate the evolutionary paths of sensor research and technologies that have great potential for developing incremental and radical innovations in cancer diagnosis and therapies. These conclusions are, of course, tentative. There is a need for much more detailed research based on other aspects and factors for detecting stable technological trajectories that can foster the technology transfer of new sensor in cancer research for improving diagnosis and therapeutics, reducing, whenever possible, world-wide mortality of cancer in society.JEL Classification: I10, O30, O31, O32; O33.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid spread of Information Technology (IT) in recent years and the role it plays in many aspects of our lives has not left language use untouched. A manifestation of this role is the degree of linguistic creativity that has accompanied technological innovation. In English, this creativity is seen in the semantic relabeling of established terms such as web, bug, virus, firewall, etc. Another strategy favored by IT lexifiers is the use of lexical items clustered in heavy premodifying groups, as in random access memory, disk operating system, central processing unit, and countless others (White, 1999). In brief, IT technology – and in particular, the World Wide Web – has made it possible for users to break free of many linguistic codes and conventions (Lemke, 1999).For the linguist, the happy outcome of the spread of IT is that it has created an opportunity to analyze the simultaneous development of technology and the language that encodes it and the influence of one on the other (Stubbs, 1997). To linguists of a broadly functional disposition, this is a chance to confirm the observation that scientific language differs substantially from everyday language. More importantly, it is also a chance to verify the claim made chiefly by Halliday & Martin (1993) that this difference in the characteristics of each of these discourses stems from a radical difference between scientific and common sense construals of the world around us.

Aim. The presented study aims to develop conceptual approaches to the formation of infrastructure for the innovative transformation of entrepreneurship in the digital economy, which would make it possible to optimize the management system of regional economic entities aimed at creating a favorable climate for the generation, development, and implementation of innovations in the Russian socioeconomic system.Tasks. The authors analyze conceptual approaches to the formation of a system of infrastructural support for the innovative transformation of business structures based on a comprehensive analysis of the parameters of its subsystems; substantiate priority directions for the development of regional infrastructure with a view to ensuring sustainable operation of economic entities; propose scenarios for the formation of regional infrastructure based on digital technologies for the transformation of innovation activities of companies.Methods. This study is based on the classical corporate life cycle theory, which includes mechanisms and organizational structures that facilitate the sustainable development of business structures in the digital economy. Theoretical and practical recommendations for innovation management and system analysis of the formation of competitive advantages of regional economic entities are used with allowance for current trends in the world economy and geopolitical risks.Results. Infrastructure support for the innovative transformation of business structures in the digital economy should allow for the reloading of the logistical, technological, financial, economic, informational, personnel, and communication units of the company’s integrated functioning system. Digital technologies transform system-wide, strategic, marketing, information, and communication methods of development and implementation of management decisions within regional socio-economic systems.Conclusions. Infrastructure support for the innovative transformation of business structures largely depends on the use of digital methods that allow for the implementation of information and communication platforms making it possible to optimize the organizational management structures of companies. The effectiveness of innovative transformation can be increased by accelerating and simplifying business processes; increasing the level of transparency and reliability of procedures performed on the web and implemented in business applications; structural transformations of forms of interaction with customers based on modern interfaces and access to complete information about consumer preferences; ensuring the availability of services provided on a cloud platform; achieving a high level of security of the knowledge base. Digital technologies have made the effectiveness of company management more dependent on the parameters of economic security and indicators of the quality of the information and communication infrastructure used at all stages of the functioning of the regional socio-economic system. Business communications in the global market of goods and services are accelerating and simplifying.

Full textAbstract:
To ensure competitiveness in the face of accelerating scientific and technological progress and the digitalisation of socio-economic processes the modern industrial companies should not be limited to internal environment during the process of search and implementation of innovative solutions. These enterprises are conducting an active search for new solutions in the open market and attracting external experts, using the communication potential of the World Wide Web. This model which called as «open innovation», has gained in popularity. Its use leads to the inevitable transformation of the existing business processes in the enterprise, one of which is the procurement process. Open innovation become a new stage in the development of the logistic function, already passed the way from the technical supply function to the procurement division gained the status of one of the key centers of cross-functional and inter-firm interaction on industrial enterprise. An important prerequisite for the success of open innovation, implemented jointly with our suppliers is the availability of long-term partnerships. The further evolution of the procurement function within the model of open innovation should lead to the integration of the procurement division to the acquisition of the results of intellectual activity, not only as a commercial service in company but as the operator of system of knowledge management and network crowd sourcing platform providing information and expert support to take management decisions on those or other innovative solutions offered by external suppliers. The formation of expert community is intended to reduce the risks associated with the procurement of obsolete intangible assets and the illegal use of the results of intellectual activity.

The World Wide Web is used by millions of people everyday for various purposes including email, reading news, downloading music, online shopping or simply accessing information about anything. Using a standard web browser, the user can access information stored on Web servers situated anywhere on the globe. This gives the illusion that all this information is situated locally on the user’s computer. In reality, the Web represents a huge distributed system that appears as a single resource to the user available at the click of a button. This paper gives an overview of distributed systems in current IT sector. Distributed systems are everywhere. The internet enable users throughout the world to access its services wherever they may be located [1]. Each organization manages an intranet, which provides local services for local users and generally provides services to other users in the internet. Small distributed systems can be constructed from mobile computers and other small computational devices that are attached to a wireless network.

Education is one sector that tries to be consistent despite facing several changes. Vari- ous factors and emerging trends have affected the sector both positively and negatively. The scope of the digital divide is more pronounced in the developing countries and the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the technological struggles in Africa more than before. Technology is an enabler in education but not in all contexts because it also causes other challenges that increase the vulnerability of learners and educators in diverse circumstances. The proliferation of digital devices, especially mobile and smart devices, has brought in new changes and innovative ideas that have impacted the sectors input, output, and outcome. Leaners have demonstrated various degrees of adoption and absorption of new devices, and simultaneously educators have integrated and adapted to new pedagogies that resonate with the situation. As a continent, Africa has experienced an emerging trend with digital and non-digital devices interconnected for educational purposes on demand whenever needed. In developing countries like Kenya, more innovative ways of learning have been harnessed for learning and teach- ing purposes .With the penetration of the World Wide Web, the internet of things, availability of electronic devices, and improvement in information communication and technology infrastructure. Video games, which can be played on many platforms and electronic devices, can easily be leveraged for teaching and learning purposes. This study was conducted among learners and educators in an urban setting in Nairobi County, Kenya. The study investigated the potential of video games in education as used by leaners and teachers. The findings indicated that most leaners targeted had personal mobile devices. This gave them easy access to video games, which led to the popularity of these games. The findings also indicated that the leaners were not allowed to use digital devices like mobile phones in the classroom at school but had limited access to video games through desktops and laptops available in their institutions. The findings also showed that the majority of teachers were not keen on using video games for teaching and learning purposes, and this scenario presented a disparity in and a barrier to using multi-disciplinary approaches and integrating technology in teaching and learning. The study recommended that, with more electronic devices available for leaners and other education stakeholders, it is necessary to harness video games for learning and teaching purposes to allow for innovation, discovery, critical thinking, and experiential learning among learners.

Speech and language therapy (SLT) services arc increasingly in demand. Obviously, the infrastructure to attract new therapists and provide them with continuous education, and their clients with accessible services has not changed at the same pace. The evolution of the World Wide Web (WWW)has provided us with a host of technological communicative tools, which allow people to connect and communicate with each other like never before. Despite distance, location and time, with a computer connected to the web we can all have access to these standardized communications tools. There is some preliminary evidence, reviewed in this paper, that Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), and in particular, the web, could offer the tools to bridge those gaps. This paper reviews a number of web resources such as information websites, on-line communities, web-based education for SLTs, preventive and therapy programmes which represent current practice in the use of the web in SLT in Ireland. The objective is to present some of the ways the web is currently used in supporting SLT and open up discussion for exploring new opportunities and potential for the integration of the World Wide Web to the profession.

Full textAbstract:
We study the introduction of lexical innovations into a community of language users. Lexical innovations, i.e. new term added to people's vocabulary, plays an important role in the process of language evolution. Nowadays, information is spread through a variety of networks, including, among others, online and offline social networks and the World Wide Web. The entire system, comprising networks of different nature, can be represented as a multi-layer network. In this context, lexical innovations diffusion occurs in a peculiar fashion. In particular, a lexical innovation can undergo three different processes: its original meaning is accepted; its meaning can be changed or misunderstood (e.g. when not properly explained), hence more than one meaning can emerge in the population. Lastly, in the case of a loan word, it can be translated into the population language (i.e. defining a new lexical innovation or using a synonym) or into a dialect spoken by part of the population. Therefore, lexical innovations cannot be considered simply as information. We develop a model for analyzing this scenario using a multi-layer network comprising a social network and a media network. The latter represents the set of all information systems of a society, e.g. television, the World Wide Web and radio. Furthermore, we identify temporal directed edges between the nodes of these two networks. In particular, at each time-step, nodes of the media network can be connected to randomly chosen nodes of the social network and vice versa. In doing so, information spreads through the whole system and people can share a lexical innovation with their neighbors or, in the event they work as reporters, by using media nodes. Lastly, we use the concept of "linguistic sign" to model lexical innovations, showing its fundamental role in the study of these dynamics. Many numerical simulations have been performed to analyze the proposed model and its outcomes.

The general idea of prospects for innovative development of the Ukrainian tourist industry in the crisis caused by the pandemic coronavirus infection is given. The influence of a new global threat - the COVID-19 epidemic - on the tourism industry in Ukraine and the world is determined. Emphasis is placed on the need to stimulate innovation processes in the travel industry, which in the future will contribute to the expansion of promising opportunities for Ukraine to bring this economy sector to a qualitatively new level. The Ukrainian public innovation policy in tourism and prospects of its development are analyzed. The issue of general innovations classification in tourism is investigated and their three main groups are defined: product-related, technological, and managerial. Examples of successful innovative solutions for the revival of tourism in the conditions of coronavirus restrictions are given. Phototourism is presented as an example of product innovations, which focuses on the implementation of the environmentally responsible tourism concept for the low level of impact on the environment. Other examples of product innovations that attract the attention of travel services consumers in the context of coronavirus restrictions are the practices of staycation (short trips for short distances, which allow for a brief change of scenery and relaxation) and workation (combining work with vacation). Examples of technological innovations that have resulted from the development of scientific and technological progress are electronic tourism (ETravel), virtual tourism, tourist information systems, and others. The program "Tourist Cashback" and the introduction of passports of immunity and security certificates are described as an example of managerial innovations aimed at supporting domestic and regional tourism. The paper proves that the digitalization of all types of tourist services around the world in general and in Ukraine, in particular, meets the current conditions for the existence of the tourist market and opens wide prospects for the future.

Full textAbstract:
The World Wide Web Consortium’s Resource Description Framework (RDF) and the library community’s new cataloguing standard, Resource Description and Access (RDA), both profess to provide sophisticated and flexible means of describing resources for modern Web environments. But both have attracted scepticism from potential users, who argue that their supposed innovations are overrated. A comparison of the two standards using Michel Foucault’s theory of discourse formations suggests that while the two standards differ in their community contexts and their use of intermediaries, they are similar to each other in their commitment to consistent, rigorously-defined entities and relationships; this shared commitment sets them apart from Web 2.0 developments, and offers the potential for fruitful collaboration.

Full textAbstract:
Case studies of well documented, great innovations were performed with focus on their underlying, basic ideas. In retrospect, these ideas may seem obvious, but at the time of conception, they were considered utopian, here defined as imaginative, unexpected, counterintuitive, or unrealistic by most people, including experts. The build-up of the utopian ideas in each of the case studies is shortly described along with a critical analysis about their roles, importance, and risk exposure in the individual cases. The ideas were ranked according to defined criteria of importance, risk, and utopian potential, and this ranking was compared to the ranking of the overall impact of the analyzed innovations. The results suggest that the utopian idea potential correlates with the overall impact. The World Wide Web and the smartphones are prominent examples of great innovations driven by utopian ideas. The significance of these findings is discussed in view of current innovation models and in recognition of the heuristic character of the reported investigation.

Full textAbstract:
Starting from the 1990s with the birth of the Internet, the development of social networks, augmented reality applications and digital transformation from the real world to the virtual world today have developed in many areas. These developments in the virtual universe have gained great importance recently as they enable real and legal persons to interact on digital platforms. The digitalization process that started with web 1.0, which we perceive as reading what is written on the internet, was followed by producing content with Web 2.0, and even bloggers, youtubers, influencers became widespread in this period. With Web 3.0, a decentralized platform is aimed without any intermediaries (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.). With this development, a virtual but also a real universe was born that not only makes use of the internet, but also offers the opportunity to live in the internet. People choose the most suitable one among these universes, which is called the metaverse, consisting of the combination of the words "meta" and "universe", and combine different technologies in the internet environment to buy land, shop, play games, make their own designs and socialize. Over time, individuals who grow up on the Internet are formed, and these "digital natives" will become the businessmen, teachers, lawyers, doctors of the future and will transfer these technological innovations to their lives throughout their lives. Metaverse, called augmented reality with XR Technology, is a computer-based and wearable technology. For this reason, the tools used to implement the metaverse world should be light, easy to access and portable, and the person who will use this system should have technological knowledge In this study; Metaserve, which came into our lives through the developments in information processing technologies and digital avatars, provides a virtual culture in social relations and communications, apart from evaluating it as an active and enjoyable leisure time. It is evaluated that it causes malfunctions and solutions are offered to minimize them. Keywords: Digital Communication, Metaverse, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality

Full textAbstract:
The main objective of the research was to prospect the state of the art in the management of innovation and port governance in order to identify models and practices in the different ports around the world, through the international scientific bases Web of Science and Scopus, which allowed the exploratory study. More specifically, we sought to raise the level of development in the field of scientific production in the areas of innovation management and port governance. Scientometric methods were applied to prepare graphs that reflect the treatment of data and information generated from selected publications, as well as the search in the patent database of the National Institute of Industrial Property – INPI. In general, a gap in scientific production related to the researched field of knowledge was evidenced, which may be associated with the low level of port innovations which, therefore, may also reverberate in the search for patent protection. Thus, it is recommended that scientific productions be encouraged to support innovations in the port sector, in addition to incremental innovations, playing a prominent role in the collaborative action of agents in the port cluster and scientific, technological and innovation institutions (ICTs).

Full textAbstract:
In the early days of the Internet, philosophers, consumers, engineers, and futurists wondered what Web 1.0, the initial stage of the world wide web, might look like. At the time, there was not even a space called the world wide web, let alone the moniker “Web 1.0.” As the Internet flourished, consumers were spun into its sticky, silky residue. More connections and devices heralded in Web 2.0, including changes in both the form and the content of digital media. Now, with Web 3.0 right around the corner as we head into the thirtieth year of widespread web use, we explore the digital attitude adopted towards digital media in contemporary society. The idea of an attitude suggests the typical way we are feeling about a certain thing at the time. How do users and consumers and human beings in general assess their digital media use and understanding? Lines blur between where contents and forms begin and end. The digital media “content” needs a device and the “device” needs content to engage the consumer/user. Form comes through technological, electronic, digital, and device driven ways. Content proliferates through media through a variety of user generated programming, visuals, sound, apps, games, TV shows, billboards, and software. The combination of these elements provides digital media with its spreadable and participatory nature. This reflection considers the digital attitude as it relates to the human-technology experience approaching the Web 3.0 era. Does the web+digital+media’s ubiquity highlight or in some way name a new or different kind of in-between and taken-for granted attitude? Ideas from of Don Ihde, Alfred Schutz and Thomas Luckman, Marshall McLuhan, and Peter-Paul Verbeek are considered.

My dissertation is a study of standardization in four communications networks: AT&T's monopoly telephone network, the Internet, digital cellular telephone networks, and the World Wide Web. A history of these networks that highlights standardization shows how engineers in industry committees replaced managers in monopoly hierarchies as the stewards of standards for communication networks. By the end of the twentieth century, the new networks—and the new institutions devised to sustain the standardization process—formed the technological and ideological infrastructure of the Third Industrial Revolution.

This paper examines the provision of networked CALL services at the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages at the University of Cambridge. It argues that in such a context a broad, inclusive approach to networking – one which avoids any over-strict commitment to a single method or paradigm of network delivery, but makes the most of whatever is available – is often the most appropriate. This eclectic approach helps preserve the best of what has been created in the past while keeping up with everything technological advances offer, and respects the wide-ranging and widely-differing views and approaches of Faculty teaching staff. The aim of the MML Network Service is therefore to present a wide range of disparate resources in a single, coherent framework. While welcoming the many advantages the use of the World Wide Web brings, the article stresses that in a broad infrastructure both older programs which have proved their worth and newer, highly-developed programs which have come after them need not be lost while the functionality of the Web is still developing. It also lays out in general terms some technical suggestions for those seeking ideas on the implementation of networking strategies in a Windows-based local area or university-wide network, partly with a view to reinforcing the credentials for CALL and humanities computing generally to be afforded high-quality computing infrastructure both in the present and with whatever technological advances bring in the future.

The last five years experience has definitely demonstrated the possible applications of the Internet for telepathology. They may be listed as follows: (a) teleconsultation via multimedia e‐mail; (b) teleconsultation via web‐based tools; (c) distant education by means of World Wide Web; (d) virtual microscope management through Web and Java interfaces; (e) real‐time consultations through Internet‐based videoconferencing. Such applications have led to the recognition of some important limits of the Internet, when dealing with telemedicine: (i) no guarantees on the quality of service (QoS); (ii) inadequate security and privacy; (iii) for some countries, low bandwidth and thus low responsiveness for real‐time applications. Currently, there are several innovations in the world of the Internet. Different initiatives have been aimed at an amelioration of the Internet protocols, in order to have quality of service, multimedia support, security and other advanced services, together with greater bandwidth.The forthcoming Internet improvements, although induced by electronic commerce, video on demand, and other commercial needs, are of real interest also for telemedicine, because they solve the limits currently slowing down the use of Internet. When such new services will be available, telepathology applications may switch from research to daily practice in a fast way.

The phenomenon of the digitalization in the world economy is investigated in the article. The digital economy is the most important engine of innovation, competitiveness and economic growth in the world. The specific features of the modern digital economy are determined. The main indicators of measuring the level of digital economy are analyzed, the world countries’ leaders are defined. Study shows that each of the indexes has different methodological approaches to determining the level of digitalization and contains various factors. Highly developed countries have the best level of digitization of their own economies, because they have high-quality access to the Internet, a high level of scientific and technological capacity development and wide information access. The indicators of Ukraine as a digital economy are analyzed. Article shows that Ukraine as a European country is only at the beginning of its development of a high-quality digital economy. The links between national economy’s macroeconomic indicators development connecting with innovations are established.

Such a transformation has given rise to a whole range of new environmental risks and threats for those living in the process of production and use of a wide range of goods and services. The various examples that have already manifested themselves in the current life of living people show the need for the formation of a twofold concept of sustainable development - resource-saving and biospheric - as its equivalent components. It is noted that the natural environment cannot change as quickly as the volume of innovations of the fourth technological revolution breaks into world politics and the economy. This increases the contradictions of the “zombie economics” and the global “post-truth” with the flora and fauna surrounding us, the billionth world of living organisms of the Earth’s biosphere, and expands the environmental risks and threats that are dangerous for our immediate descendants.

Full textAbstract:
A new innovation paradigm is needed to answer the societal, economic and environmental challenges the world and companies are facing. The EU funded Horizon 2020 SPIRE Project “Coordinating Optimisation of Complex Industrial Processes” (COCOP) is combining technological and social innovation within a steel company pilot case (Sidenor). The project aims at reducing raw materials consumption (and energy and emissions reduction as well) by plant-wide optimisation of production processes based on a software solution and at the same time changing social practices. Key for COCOP is a methodology integrating technological innovation within a social innovation process of co-creation and co-development by involving (potential) users of the future software system and relevant stakeholders right from the beginning; thereby improving effectiveness and impact of the innovations and the implementation process. This involvement is instructed and measured by social key performance indicators (social KPIs) and operationalised in surveys (questionnaire and interviews) with future users, engineers and external experts (from different industry sectors not involved in the project). The article presents the results of the starting point of COCOP illustrating the future user perspective of the pilot steel company (Sidenor) contrasted by the view of external experts – seriously taking into account the interfaces between technology, human and organisation.

Full textAbstract:
The notion of a cashless society is slowly becoming an inevitability of the modern way of doing business. Withdrawal of cash from use is the result of wide application of information and communication technologies. Increasing digitalization has contributed to the fact that most transactions are performed via smart devices (phones, tablets, desktops), without the use of cash and without going to the bank. The development of technological innovations, as well as innovations in finance, has undoubtedly contributed to increasing efficiency in business, but the question is whether the increasing digitalization of life and business, which is reflected in the creation of a cashless society, is still so desirable for humanity. The paper focuses on the socio-economic aspects of withdrawing cash from use. On the one hand, states are given the opportunity to influence economic activities even more directly through their central banks, while on the other hand, the issue is raised concerning human freedoms and rights in the digital world, in which it will be possible to electronically control the entire business.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to define Web 3.0 and discuss the underlying technologies, identify new opportunities and highlight potential challenges that are associated with the evolution to Web 3.0 technologies. Design/methodology/approach A non-empirical study reviewing papers published in accredited research journals, articles and whitepapers and websites was conducted. To add scientific rigour to a literature review, a four-stage approach, as suggested by Sylvester et al. (2011), was used. Findings The World Wide Web (henceforth referred to as the Web) is recognised as the fastest growing publication medium of all time. To stay competitive, it is crucial to stay up to date with technological trends. The Web matures in its own unique way. From the static informative characteristics of Web 1.0, it progressed into the interactive experience Web 2.0 provides. The next phase of Web evolution, Web 3.0, is already in progress. Web 3.0 entails an integrated Web experience where the machine will be able to understand and catalogue data in a manner similar to humans. This will facilitate a world wide data warehouse where any format of data can be shared and understood by any device over any network. The evolution of the Web will bring forth new opportunities and challenges. Opportunities identified can mainly be characterised as the autonomous integration of data and services which increase the pre-existing capabilities of Web services, as well as the creation of new functionalities. The challenges mainly concern unauthorised access and manipulation of data, autonomous initiation of actions and the development of harmful scripts and languages. Practical implications The findings will assist data managers to identify future opportunities while considering negative impacts and understanding the underlying technologies associated with the structure and storage of electronic information. The research will assist anyone in the data and information management industry to identify opportunities and mitigate risk. Originality/value Many organisations were caught off guard by the evolution of the Web to Web 2.0. Organisations, and in particular anyone in the data and information management industry, need to be ready and acquire knowledge about the opportunities and challenges arising from Web 3.0 technologies.

Living in times of technological changes that alter our daily activities, involving tasks such as reading the newspaper, following the weather, scheduling a trip, are usually executed after perusal of the gigantic repository of information, commonly known as the World Wide Web. However some problems are still associated with the information found in such a vast amount of information: heterogeneity, availability, distribution, quality and quantity of irrelevant information. Recent work has suggested different ways of grouping similar information sources, trying to give solutions to these problems. However, some domains are more complex than others. For example, a person looking for tourist information, is generally overwhelmed by visiting various websites. This paper proposes the implementation of a method to retrieve and group web information sources, depending on the services they offer; thereby allowing the user to get accurate answers; thus reducing the time and complexity in the search.

Full textAbstract:
Content and metadata concerning a specialized field such as Art and Cultural Heritage are often scattered throughout the World Wide Web, making it hard for end-users to find, especially amid the vast and often commercialized general content of the Web. This paper presents the process of designing and developing a Federated Search Engine (FSE) that collects such content from multiple credible sources of the world of Art and Culture and presents it to the user in a unified user-oriented manner, enhancing it with added functionality. The study focuses on the challenges such an endeavor presents and the technological tools, design decisions and methodology that lead to a fully functional, Web-based platform. This implemented search engine was evaluated by a group of stakeholders from the wider fields of art, culture and media during a closed test and the insights and feedback gained by these tests are herein analyzed and presented. These insights contain both the quantitative metrics of user engagement during the testing period and the qualitative information presented by the stakeholders through interviews. The above findings are thoroughly discussed and lead to conclusions regarding the usefulness and viability of Web applications in the aggregation and diffusion of Art and Cultural Heritage related content.

The vision of the Virtual Observatory (VO) is to make access to astronomical databases as seamless and transparent as browsing the World Wide Web is today. It will federate the data flows from current and future facilities and large scale surveys, and the computational resources and new tools necessary to fully exploit them. This requires both technological developments and an international commitment to standardisation and working culture. Increasingly, it will alter the way that astronomers do science, and the way that future facilities and projects plan for their data management, and the scientific exploitation of their data. It will make an impact on a wide variety of astronomical topics, but especially those using very large databases, and those needing a multiwavelength approach, or more generally the use of multiple archives.

This paper shows that the foundations of today 's information technology were laid mainly in the 1960s and 1970s. Even the World Wide Web was founded in the 1990s. Following the philosophy of Moore's Law, and generalizing the findings from the past, it is possible to conclude that, in the same way, the foundations of the technology that will mark the next two decades have already been laid these days. Based on that, predictions that will be technological trends in the next 20 years can be confirmed with great certainty. Further development and ubiquitous application of artificial intelligence, IoT, and 5G networking will certainly fundamentally change our lives.

Full textAbstract:
This article is the first part of a review of the Business Information Review Annual Survey, which has been published annually since 1991. The article explores technological change as it has been revealed by the surveys. It uses a combination of content and thematic analysis to develop six key themes, which are discussed by reference to the original surveys: the telling case of CD-ROMs; the Internet and the World Wide Web; changing information formats; the impact of digital technologies on information work; intranets and knowledge management (KM); and newer technologies. The article aims to summarise and consolidate longitudinal trends revealed by the survey, act as a guide to the rich data contained within the surveys themselves and provide a testament to the wealth of professional experience captured in the BIR Annual Surveys. Its findings relate to the nature of technological change and the incorporation of new technologies by the information and KM profession.
