ICE: eResearch for Word users
2008-09-30
I'm just blogging this poster from OR08 to show that it can be done.
About this hyperposter
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | This poster is a hyperdocument designed to show some potential | | applications for eResearch publications. | | | | This document has embedded semantics. | | | | For example, it was written in: | | | | - Toowoomba at | | USQ | | (S 27.601335° E 151.930854<span | | class="spCh spChxb0">°), | | | | - for a conference in | | Melbourne | | (S 37.849925° E 144.978368<span | | class="spCh spChxb0">°) | | | | Embedded geographical data (via | | geohash) can be used to generate a map like the | | one here. On the web, this is an interactive, automatic process. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The mythical datument
The term Datument was coined in 2004 by Peter Murray-Rust and Henry Rzepa:
A datument is a hyperdocument for transmitting "complete" information including content and behaviour. ... where the machine is supplied with tools which are semantically aware of the document content. Examples of the latter are domain-specific XML components such as maps (GML), graphics (SVG) and molecules (Chemical Markup Language, CML)
Murray-Rust, P. & Rzepa, H.S., 2004. The Next Big Thing: From Hypermedia to Datuments. Journal of Digital Information, 5(1), p.248. Available at: http://jodi.tamu.edu/Articles/v05/i01/Murray-Rust/?printable=1
But they are far from common. This poster / blog post / presentation / map-mashup might be the closest you have ever been to one.
