Delight in Thinking

SW is a good thing, regardless of her ideals or methods are encouraging. SW library is obviously the best field of applications, libraries embrace SW is taken for granted. However, the library can use now dedicated to the SW? This issue has been bothering me.

SW is the core of a complete description of mechanisms through logical and accurate transmission of data, semantic information machine, a distributed environment to achieve semantic interoperability. SW mechanism has two parts: description of mechanisms and reasoning mechanism, which traditional information retrieval mechanism - Vocabulary mechanism and matching mechanism are very different. Librarians are familiar with the traditional paradigm of the latter, not familiar with the SW paradigm, paradigm change can be achieved, should be the application of SW libraries the biggest challenge.

Discourse in the SW, there is an important concept is the data consumer (consuming), or another system to another system provides consumer data services. So when we build SW application, you first need to solve two major problems: what kind of data we provide services? Who consumption of our data services? For the library, we can provide what kind of data services? This application SW libraries into the most important issue, there are changes in the environment of information technology, library information superiority is almost lost. Originally, we defenders of a great number of databases, this may be our unique resources, but this advantage is gradually lost, Google and Amazion published bibliographic data in terms of quality or quantity of a tendency to have more than the library community More importantly, these commercial companies have a very wide range of users, users of these commercial companies far more than loyalty to the loyalty of the library. Therefore, to date, we have not only to provide bibliographic data service providers, and are subject to severe competitive challenges. In addition to bibliographic data services, we also can use the SW to deliver other types of data services? If the library function does not change the role, almost impossible.

Even if we have the ability to provide high-quality data services, then who is going to consumption of our data services? This is another key issue. Consumer data services The key is "trust". Published data services must be for people to have adequate reliability data sources, then what faith people are librarians recommended books? What faith librarians provide professional data? Of course, libraries provide data services to consumers are a large part of the library itself - to share data libraries. This is indeed a major consumer groups, through the sharing of data between the library to form a complete comprehensive data cloud, may be able to rebuild our library's core competitiveness. This should be our starting point for libraries SW applications.

Application SW, need libraries together.

Zhubozhaizhu going to participate in Library 2.0 conference in Chongqing, which is Zhubozhaizhu a big step forward, should reward a small red flower.

Zhubozhaizhu has emerged as opponents of the technology, he opposed the technology up and is singing and writing poetry, spare no effort. But since his division blog message in K, the rain is also a view on the Zhaizhu changed. Zhaizhu is not against technology, but the technology holds a more pessimistic view.

Zhai Zhu is a wealth of technical management experience with library scientists, and his philosophy is just to do their essential library service on the line, working on technology development to system developers. This view of his right Line? If placed 7-8 years ago, this view is justified, the rain has held a similar view. But since the since the emergence of web2.0, system development model has changed, especially in the field of library technology, library technology as more and more dependent on computer technology, computer systems development model led directly to changes in the pattern of library technology . What changes in this pattern? The model has two features

• The first is the wide area network, that is Internet-based, now detached from the network if the system development environment is unimaginable.
• The second is the network into a large system, no single network of this system is a subsystem of large-scale systems, there are various systems of data exchange and sharing features, that is the way via Web services, will be the kind of concrete system has been integrated together. Such as construction sites, the site's search function do not do it, and the site open to Google, and use Googlet provide network services, can be achieved, so the network environment, system development will increasingly depend on network provide a variety of network services.

Web services make information technology to achieve true industrialization, is an industrial revolution in the field of information technology, information technology, the consequences of the industrial application of the function of individual and development of small farmers. Function is the future of personalized applications are tailored to a variety of standard network services portfolio to best meet the individual needs of users. Also because of the personalized features, has also led to large-scale application systems and open systems integration model to a small team based development model replaced by small farmers of the so-called open. From that point of view library technology, library system development has also gone through this phase, the library started its development of the system, then more and more complex development platforms, its own strength to die alone library , we can only rely on the professional system developers. This library technology completed the first spiral cycle. But in the Internet age, the library service more and more dependent on the network, the original library system from the models can not adapt to the new library services, library systems have to end for the first cycle coming to an end. Library system now entered the second cycle, that is, large-scale integrated systems for small-scale distributed systems integration unit replaced. Library system into a continuous improvement of living organisms, so-called Library 2.0 times the tower is always a theory. Since the library system will always be times the tower, then the library system can not rely on opening up the development of business, both from an economic point of view or perspective of the system is so open. Library technology entered the third cycle, personalization system development stage, this stage, the library will re-play the main library technology development, back to the starting point. But this is a spiraling cycle, due to the emergence of network services, library technology is no longer in the trenches, but more important is the functional combination. Thus, Zhaizhu development of library technology is the root of misunderstanding standing library technology development cycle of the second cycle of the third term.

Zhai Zhu, after all, a very rich technology literacy, he should be aware of the evolution of technology development, travel long distances to join in Chongqing for the Library 2.0, but changed his usual cynicism, is indeed a remarkable progress, and we rejoice . The Zhaizhu to Chongqing, the rain of a careful study recommended Zhai Zhu Chen Xiaoliang Xiamen University and Jinan University, a small bell to their work, they do is real and true exploration of Library 2.0 can be said to represent the library technology development.

As a South China tiger, Zhaizhu You dominate the South China city, you have a great influence and appeal. You to Chongqing, for our inspiration, we really happy. Technology drinkers is an ascetic, not everyone can be resistant under the lonely, when I saw the K teachers so they being so lonely or helpless, deeply touched, they are technology heroes. Zhaizhu You all the way to go to Chongqing for their oil, let me move. I separated by vast oceans, so do not be put into effect, can only stand aside, for you, for the k teacher, attended the technical meeting in Chongqing heroes applauded.

Zhai Zhu, whether you're talking about meeting in Chongqing, I have to send you a small red flower.
