In just 5 years, social networks have become not only “all the rage,” but also a must-have for a significant portion of the U.S. population. In just 10 years, video online went from a mess of different, incompatible formats to YouTube and its competitors, revolutionizing the way many people engage with entertainment online (and to a lesser extent, information). In just 15 years, the Internet and technologies it has enabled has transformed not only many people’s workplaces, but the very connectedness and relationships we have with others. Let that sink in for a few minutes. In just 15 years, a set of technologies has started...

These are Docbook and DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture). Docbook is the older of the two specifications and created specifically for technical documentation. DITA, is a younger specification which grew out of IBM, and is referred to as having its own architecture and was designed to provide structure to more than just a book. Both specifications are OASIS standards.  As with XML schemas, both specifications can be extended to include bespoke features. However, Docbook is based more on a book structure with Sections and subsections, where as DITA is built around topics that can be built up in any arrangement based on a document map.  A DITA topic is open to specialisation itself, however, a topic has... peanutbutter blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4424379 Tue, 01 Feb 2011 10:30:03 +0100 4424379 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4152098&cid=t_217845_132_f&fid=35006&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnsaunders.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F11%2F09%2Fhow-open-source-and-biostar-saved-a-project%2F This is the story of how an open source project and a science communication tool combined to save the day. 1. November 2nd 2010 I receive an email from colleagues at my previous workplace. They are trying to publish some proteomics data and the journal has stipulated that raw data and “annotated peptide mass fingerprint spectra” must be made available. The data that they have come from a machine called a Voyager-DE STR MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. They are binary files with the suffix “.dat”. No-one is quite sure what to do with them. To plot the spectra we need a file that contains, as a minimum, the intensity and m/z ratio for each peak. Oh, that we had simple CSV files, or at least something in plain ASCII text. 2.

Dr Nadkarni has some very clever and thought provoking ideas as to what makes our present healthcare system sick - and what we can do to heal it !Dr Nadkarni's mobile is : 9320044525; and his email id is: sadanadkarni@gmail.com.

This means the integration (and sharing) of individual labs ...

We just recently came across a better scanning application that would do a better job scanning documents into our EMR. It was a change we just had to make, because the new scanning program saved us a bunch of time in the scanning process, but…. Yes, there always has to be a “but” in there. Turns out this new scanning application scans documents in the .tiff format. This is still a really nice format since it can handle multiple pages in one file and is still quite small. Not a problem right? Windows comes with some really simple, but workable programs for viewing image files. However, for some reason our installs didn’t recognize the .tiff (yes it’s 2 &#82...

Martin, our developer had a look at their site and came up with some options. He takes up the story: “Although the DOI appears in the URL, and we could switch off to CrossRef for citation data, we lose the authors and full publication date, so that’s not as good. They embed citation metadata using Dublin Core conventions inside HTML meta tags, but here we’re missing journal, volume, and issue data. I noticed that their site allows download in RIS, BibTeX, etc. format, and in looking for a similar existing citation source module that does such a download of a secondary RIS file, that Blackwell.pm was actually a perfect module to do the work. Too perfect – it works with a domain name cha... Connotea blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2523788 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 17:35:55 +0100 2523788
