The development of Czech libraries, 1990–2013

In the last twenty years, libraries in the Czech Republic have undergone extensive changes, which were evoked by a transition to a democratic society and market economy. At the beginning of the millennium, the development of libraries was gradually stabilized; this process culminated in the adoption of the new library act in 2001. The role of the Ministry of Culture is characterized in relation to libraries and grant programs in support of libraries. This paper studies the changes and trends in the individual areas of library activities, such as library collections and information resources, the construction of libraries, the automation of library processes, the retrospective conversion of Czech library catalogs and portals, the digitization of library collections, the training of library staff, and the activities of library societies and associations. An emphasis is placed on the transformations connected with the development of information technologies. The paper is complemented by selected statistical data on the development of libraries.published or submitted for publicatio

Webová aplikace pro analýzu a vizualizaci legislativního procesu postavená na principech Linked Data

Cílem této práce je vytvořit sémantickou databázi návrhů zákonů schvalovaných v českém parlamentu. Pro popis legislativního procesu je vytvořena ontologie popisující jednotlivé kroky schvalování a stavy návrhů zákonů. Databáze i ontologie používá RDF jako nástroj pro sémantizaci dat poskytovaných Poslaneckou sněmovnou. Práce využívá existující ontologie, např. FRBR, pro reprezentaci dat s užším významem. Výsledná databáze bude prezentována pomocí open-source nástroje pro správu Linked Data, Payola, do kterého budou vytvořeny pluginy pro vizualizaci dat pomocí technologií HTML5. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)The aim of this thesis is to create a new dataset containing bills being passed in the Czech Parliament. It creates an ontology describing the legislative process and the individual stages of passing the bill. Both the dataset and ontology will use RDF to semanticize public exports provided by the Czech Chamber of Deputies. To create the ontology, it is attempted to specialize existing ontologies such as FRBR to describe data with a narrower domain. Resources representing bills are linked to other ontologies to connect the dataset into the Linked Data cloud. For practical presentation of the created dataset, new visualization plugins are programmed into Payola, an open-source Linked Data management tool, using HTML5 technologies.

The Development of eServices in an Enlarged EU: eGovernment and eHealth in the Czech Republic

In 2005, IPTS launched a project which aimed to assess the developments in eGoverment, eHealth and eLearning in the 10 New Member States at national, and at cross-country level. At that time, the 10 New Member States were Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, and Slovakia. A report for each country was produced, describing its government and health systems and the role played by eGovernment and eHealth within these systems. Each report then analyzes, on the basis of desk research and expert interviews, the major achievements, shortcomings, drivers and barriers in the development of eGovernment and eHealth in one of the countries in question. This analysis provides the basis for the identification and discussion of national policy options to address the major challenges and to suggest R&D issues relevant to the needs of each country ¿ in this case, the Czech Republic. In addition to national monographs, the project has delivered a synthesis report, which offers an integrated view of the developments of each application domain in the New Member States. Furthermore, a prospective report looking across and beyond the development of the eGoverment, eHealth and eLearning areas has been developed to summarize policy challenges and options for the development of eServices and the Information Society towards the goals of Lisbon and i2010.JRC.J.4-Information Societ
