    Comparative Study of Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0
    (INFLIBNET Center3, 2008-02-28) Naik, Umesha; Shivalingaiah, D
    The WWW is more and more used for application to application communication. The programmatic interfaces made available are referred to as web services. Most people today can hardly conceive of life without the internet. The web of documents has morphed into a web of data. The semantic wave embraces three stages of internet growth. The first stage, web 1.0, was about connecting information and getting on the net. Web 2.0 is about connecting people putting the “I” in user interface, and the “we” into a web of social participation. The next stage, web 3.0, is starting now. It is about representing meanings, connecting knowledge, and putting them to work in ways that make our experience of internet more relevant, useful, and enjoyabl

    Digital Libraries and Open Source Software
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2005-02-02) Naik, Umesha; Shivalingaiah, D
    Open source software (OSS) is popular with technically sophisticated users, who are often also the software developers, and has not yet made a significant impact on the desktop of most users. OSS has much potential for libraries and information centres, and there are a number of projects, including Greenstone, DSpace and Ganesha, etc that demonstrates its viability in this context. OSS is becoming an increasingly popular software development method. This paper highlights what is an OSS, its features, software licensing, advantages and disadvantages. The paper also highlights the features, functions and use of three popular digital libraries software viz. Greenstone, DSpace and Ganesha.

    Digital Library Open Source Software : A Comparative Study
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2006-02-02) Naik, Umesha; Shivalingaiah, D
    The Open Source Software (OSS) model makes source code available to users, who can change the software to tailor it more closely to their own requirements. With many OSS applications now available for library and information management, Organisations have a new option for acquiring and implementing systems, plus new opportunities for participating in OSS projects. Examples of such systems include Greenstone DSpace, and Ganesha. OSS is popular with technically sophisticated users, who are often also the software developers. OSS is becoming an increasingly popular software development method. This paper highlights the comparison, features, function and usability of OSS like Greenstone Digital Library, DSpace and Ganesha Digital Library.

    E-Resources of Information : A Study of Attitudes of Research Scholars
    (Inflibnet centre, 2007-02-08) Gowda, Vasappa; Shivalingaiah, D
    Research is an important activity for the development of scientific and technical knowledge. It is the gateway to the development of theoretical knowledge, practical skills and technical know how in any discipline. Universities are the centers of higher education and research. The libraries attached to the Universities have to deal with the needs of the researchers in various disciplines. It is the responsibility of the University libraries to provide the information requirements of the researchers from time to time. In this paper, the authors have made an attempt to know the attitudes of the research scholars towards electronic resources in the Universities in Karnataka. Survey method using questionnaire as the tool is employed to collect data. The collected data are analysed and interpretation is drawn. Suggestions and findings are presented at the end.

    Methods Of Digital Library Usability
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2007-02-08) Naik, Umesha; Shivalingaiah, D
    The digital library is the widely accepted term describing the use of digital technologies to acquire, store, preserve and provide access to information and material originally published in digital form or digitised from existing print, audio-visual and other forms. Today most institutions are providers of technology-based services and are often involved in the production of systems supporting their initiatives. When aiming to satisfy user needs and guarantee acceptable tools and environment for consuming the assets of institutions, it is necessary to be familiar with the main standards and guidelines regulating usability. In this paper the authors highlighted the methods, forms, and issues of digital library usability. Usability should not be confused with ‘functionality’, however, as this is purely concerned with the functions and features of the product and has no bearing on whether users are able to use them or not. Increased functionality does not mean improved usability. Comparable to any other system, a digital library must possess usability properties so it can be usable by the digital library’s users. Digital library usability properties can influence usability attributes and allow users to easily and effectively accomplish digital library tasks.

    Open Source Software for Content Management System
    (INFLIBNET Center, 2009-02-25) Naik, Umesha; Shivalingaiah, D
    Information and documentation services available on the Internet through web servers are growing in an exponential manner. In recent times, open source software has been seen as an increasingly mainstream part of the market. The field of content management system has seen particularly strong growth in open source solutions, perhaps in direct response to the very high prices that commercial content management system have historically demanded. The increasing complexity of services and systems supporting has made it necessary to formulate a theoretical and practical corpus capable of combining classical information management techniques within organizations with the particular features of the digital environment. In this article the authors highlighted some of the most popular open source, free to download and use content management system tools. One can choose any of them for their website depending on their particular needs or organizational requirements. This article also highlights the different types, license, free or open source, database type, platforms, etc.

    Semantic Web Tools: An Overview
    (INFLIBNET Center, 2009-02-25) Shivalingaiah, D; Naik, Umesha
    The WWW is the largest single information resource humanity. Unfortunately, despite its dependence on computers to operate at all, most of the information is only understandable by humans and not by computers. While computers can use the syntax of HTML documents to display in a web browser, Web computers can’t understand the content the semantics. Human beings are capable of using the Web to carry out tasks such as finding the information. However, a computer cannot accomplish the same tasks without human direction because web pages are designed to be read by public, not machines. The semantic web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers, so that public can perform more of the tedious work involved in finding, sharing and combining information on the web. The paper emphasizes the semantic tools available.

    Social Networking Tools: Social Bookmarking and Social Tagging
    (Inflibnet Center, 2011-03-02) Shivalingaiah, D; Naik, Umesha
    Online communities of practice may use a specific tag on social bookmarking sites that enable resources to be “advertised” within that community. Considered a better alternative to submitting a website on blogs, manual social bookmarking is a simple, convenient and hassle free way of making sure that our site is noticed and marketed in the right circle. Web 2.0 technologies will promote and enable fundamental changes on intranets. Social software, such as blogs, wikis, tagging systems and collaborative filters, treats the group as a first class object within the system. The paper focus on to explore some of the important social tagging, social bookmarks, and social network related tools and services.

    (INFLIBNET Center, 2004-11) Naik, Umesha; Shivalingaiah, D
    Information is available in many different forms. Search Engines are very useful tools to find out information available on the net. The competition among Internet search engines is intense, and that’s good news for net users. But despite each search service’s attempt to become the ultimate online find-it tool, no single service can cater for every need. Library and Information professional use this type of tools and get better result from the site, use popular search engines. Internet is a wide network many type of information can get it. In this paper the Authors suggest that the resources are available in the net somehow know web address of the site without any information of the site find the information. For better use of this one should use the search engine. Search engines have a variety of ways to refine and control your searches. Some of them offer menu systems for this. Others require you to use special commands as part of the query.
