The Belgians Otlet en La Fontaine created the Universal Decimal Classification in order to collect and organize the world's knowledge. This happened in an age when information was almost exclusively made available by libraries. Since the internet, the quantity of information outside libraries is enormous and keeps growing every day. The internet is accessible to anybody, it is fundamentally unorganized and its content changes constantly. Collecting and organizing the world's knowledge seem to have become an impossible ambition. Perhaps it is even unnecessary, since search engines make information retrievable now. And why would we organize information if we can find it? So what will be the role of UDC and libraries in this internet environment? Libraries can still play a role as a major information provider, if they adapt fully to the expectations of a modern end user. The design and the functionalities of online catalogues should allow maximal accessibility, usability and active participation of the end user in the internet environment. Metadata, like UDC, should maximize the visibility of information, enrich it and invite the end user to assign metadata himself.

Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / The World-Wide Web WWW based Internet services have become a major channel for information delivery. For the same reason, information overload also has become a serious problem to the users of such services. It has been estimated that the amount of information stored on the Internet doubled every 18 months. The speed of increase of homepages can be even faster, some people estimated that it doubled every 6 months. Therefore, a scalable approach to support Internet searching is critical to the success of Internet services and other current or future National Information Infrastructure NII applications. In this paper, we discuss a modified version of simulated annealing algorithm to develop an intelligent personal spider agent, which is based on automatic textual analysis of the Internet documents and hybrid simulated annealing.

The paper suggests extensions to SKOS Core to make explicit where concepts in a knowledge organization system have changed from one version of the system to another.

Esta monografía analiza las características de las aplicaciones dinámicas de Internet y presenta un nuevo enfoque para su desarrollo. Este tipo de aplicaciones, más conocidas como RIA, por sus siglas en inglés (Rich Internet Applications) presenta un mayor nivel de expresividad y de interactividad con los contenidos, lo que las hace particularmente atractivas para su aplicación en ámbitos educativos. Este nuevo enfoque está basado en Seaside, un entorno de desarrollo para construir aplicaciones dinámicas de Internet, que posean una lógica interna relativamente compleja. Seaside provee una arquitectura basada en componentes, cuya característica distintiva es, que permite modelar múltiples ujos de información independientes, lo que simpli ca notablemente la implementación de modelos complejos en Internet.

Envirologic AB tillverkar tvättrobotar för diverse miljöer. Idag behöver man ta sig tillroboten för att konfigurera robotens inställningar. Istället vill man nu att trådlöstkunna göra ändringar över internet. På marknaden finns det en mängd olika varianterav objekt som kan koppla upp sig mot nätverk men till detta ställs det även en delkrav som att roboten måste enkelt kunna koppla upp sig mot ett lokalt Wifi och gåförbi lokala brandväggar m.m. Rent konstruktionsmässigt måste lösningen ha antenneroch roboten måste fortsatt vara IP67-klassad. Lösningen heter Tosibox. Tosibox använder sig av VPN-teknik och kan enkeltinstalleras i roboten med hjälp av dess två antenner. Vidare har Tosibox utveckladmjukvara för att enkelt nå roboten över internet.
