Toward 2^W beyond Web 2.0
From its inception as a global hypertext system, the Web has evolved into a universal platform for deploying loosely coupled distributed applications. 2^W is a result of the exponentially growing Web building on itself to move from a Web of content to a Web of applications
Archiving Interactive Narratives at the British Library
This paper describes the creation of the Interactive Narratives collection in the UK Web Archive, as part of the UK Legal Deposit Libraries Emerging Formats Project. The aim of the project is to identify, collect and preserve complex digital publications that are in scope for collection under UK Non-Print Legal Deposit Regulations. This article traces the process of building the Interactive Narratives collection, analysing the different tools and methods used and placing the collection within the wider context of Emerging Formats work and engagement activities at the British Library
Integrating institutional repositories into the Semantic Web
The Web has changed the face of scientific communication; and the Semantic Web promises new ways of adding value to research material by making it more accessible to automatic discovery, linking, and analysis. Institutional repositories contain a wealth of information which could benefit from the application of this technology. In this thesis I describe the problems inherent in the informality of traditional repository metadata, and propose a data model based on the Semantic Web which will support more efficient use of this data, with the aim of streamlining scientific communication and promoting efficient use of institutional research output

Adamant: a JSON schema-based metadata editor for research data management workflows [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
The web tool Adamant has been developed to systematically collect research metadata as early as the conception of the experiment. Adamant enables a continuous, consistent, and transparent research data management (RDM) process, which is a key element of good scientific practice ensuring the path to Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) research data. It simplifies the creation of on-demand metadata schemas and the collection of metadata according to established or new standards. The approach is based on JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) schema, where any valid schema can be presented as an interactive web-form. Furthermore, Adamant eases the integration of numerous available RDM methods and software tools into the everyday research activities of especially small independent laboratories. A programming interface allows programmatic integration with other software tools such as electronic lab books or repositories. The user interface (UI) of Adamant is designed to be as user friendly as possible. Each UI element is self-explanatory and intuitive to use, which makes it accessible for users that have little to no experience with JSON format and programming in general. Several examples of research data management workflows that can be implemented using Adamant are introduced. Adamant (client-only version) is available from: https://plasma-mds.github.io/adamant
Integrated XML andGML in Geographical Information System
This project basically concentrated on the study of extensible Markup Language
(XML) and Geography Markup Language (GML) in Geographical Information
System (GIS). The objective of the project is to convert the spatial data (e.g.:
coordinates, area, etc) by using the XML and GML and then coding will be
integrated and viewed in the web browser by using the Scalable Vector Graphic
(SVG)technology. Basically, this project is done to find a new way to overcomethe
weaknesses of map digitizing and taking advantage of the GML technology in
Geographical Information System. The project scope is concentrate on the usage of
XML andGML in GIS. Research is done onXML technologies, which are provided
for GML. The technologies included technology for encoding and data modeling
(Data Type Definition, XML Schema), technology for transforming (XSLT) and
technology for graphic rendering (SVG). Research on GML is focused on
manipulation of spatial data to convert to simple features such as point, line and
polygon. This project combines XML, GML and SVG technologies in order to meet
the project objectives. In completing this project, waterfall model is use as the
methodology for the system development. The project is developed according tothe
four phases of system development, which are planning, analysis, design and
implementation. The discussion ofthis project will be more on GML compatibility
and the advantages of using SVG to view the map. The simple display of map
created will be able to show thatGML is suits for handling geo-spatial data overthe
Internet. The user would be able to view the map and zooming feature is provided
by SVG

Foodie environment MEAN web application
Currently, human beings are constantly in a rush. Nobody has the time to be conscious of their eating habits. This thesis aims to unify the cooking responsibilities on a website. Hence, the user is in control of the food intake while saving time. A MEAN project is developed to accomplish such a purpose, a web application based on an Angular client-side. Then, the resources come from a MongoDB database connected through an Express server-side. Everything is in a NodeJS runtime environment. Thus the result is a Single Page Application. The user can browse through any recipe in the database. To write personal recipes is an option too. Planning a weekly menu, writing the grocery list or having a food expenses imprint are the different features available. Therefore, it unifies the cooking duties in a highly responsive, multiplatform application.Actualmente, los humanos viven en tensión constante. Nadie tiene tiempo para ser consciente de sus hábitos alimenticios. Esta tesis pretende unificar las responsabilidades en el entorno de la cocina. De esta forma, el usuario tiene el control sobre su ingesta alimentaria mientras ahorra tiempo. Un proyecto MEAN es desarrollado para cumplir este propósito, una aplicación web basada en un cliente formulado en Angular. Seguidamente, los recursos son extraÃdos de una base de datos implementada en MongoDB conectada a través de un servidor definido con Express. El entorno de ejecución utilizado es NodeJS. Por lo tanto, el resultado es una aplicación de página única. El usuario puede consultar todas las recetas de la base de datos, o aportar nuevas personales. Las diferentes funcionalidades también son planear menús semanales, escribir la lista de la compra o llevar un seguimiento de los gastos en comida. De esta forma, se unifica todo el entorno alimenticio en una aplicación multiplataforma, altamente receptiva.Actualment, els humans viuen en tensió constant.

Cloud-Based Access Portal for Designer Documentation in SoC Development
Document Management System plays an important role in any organization especially when it comes to retrieving hundreds of documents. Various companies use Document Management Systems for their specified purposes like accessing and managing the documents, editing online etc. Each Document Management System functionality varies according to the required features. Keeping in mind above mentioned criteria, Documentation Technology team in our department came up with an idea to create an access portal where the Designer Team can access required documents through one access point.
Designer documentation in our department is scattered in various platforms and tools. It’s hard to keep track of each document, whether it’s HW, SW, Modelling, Design, or Verification related. The Access Portal front end is based on HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. While Django Framework and Python are used to build the back end. PostgreSQL serves as a database to store the documents. Docker is used as a cloud container to run the website on our company’s internal cloud UNIX server
