We are an academic library, and currently have two public access PCs that outside users can take for a spin for an hour a day. They're Win XP running Steady State, which is an obvious problem. So -- What do you use to manage limited public access to your Win7 PCs? Any thoughts are appreciated,

My confusion with linked data is how it works at a logistical level. I understand the idea of URIs and SPARQL and all that. My problems are at the planning level. 1. How do you find/publish/update taxonomies? The creation of a linked data application assumes you know where to find these things, bu

There's one thing at least I'd argue Linked Data gets right compared to OAI PMH: It does not go against the grain of the web (no funny mini-protocol tunneled over HTTP, no resumption token stuff that assumes stateful servers).
