EXCEL SHEET BASED SEMANTIC EMAIL Rajesekhar R, Dandolu December 10, 2004. 47 Pages Directed by: Dr. Guangming Xing Department of Computer Science Western Kentucky University The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. The Semantic Web envisions a portion of the World-Wide Web in which the underlying data is machine understandable and can thus be exploited for improved querying, aggregation, and interaction. Excel Sheet Based Semantic Email is a type of Semantic Web application, which deals with the understanding of emails received and performing corresponding actions according to the schema specified in the email. The user can compose an email structure and specify all the semantic actions and necessary information related to a particular schema. The emails received are processed according to the schema format to which they belong and corresponding semantic actions are taken. In this project, Semantic Email is implemented by encoding the information in Excel Sheets. It could be reengineered to support heterogeneous semantic actions based on the particular application. The project can be enhanced providing a web interface, apart from the email system that is currently used as the way of communication. The clients can directly use the web page,

The purpose of the study was to test the generalizability of Steinfield's (1983) study by employing college students as research participants instead of members from a business organization. The study was concerned with identifying factors relating to different patterns of electronic mail (EM) use in a college setting. A total of 446 college students participated in the research. The two dimensions of EM use, task and social, were the dependent variables. The study examined the impact of several independent variables on EM use. Specifically, perceived ease of EM, social presence of EM, prior experience with EM, gender of the user, the number of people to communicate with, and perceived ease of access were investigated.Pearson correlations and t-tests were used to test the hypotheses. Significant relationships were obtained between perceived attributes and task/social use of EM. Prior experience with EM also was found to relate to task/social use of the medium. No significant differences were found for EM use on the basis of gender. However, there were significant relationships between the number of accounts through which to communicate with others and task/social use of EM. Additionally, a relationship was found between perceived ease of access to EM and task/social uses of EM. A significant correlation between students' and their instructor's task use of EM also was found. Finally, students' and instructor's social presence of EM were positively related to each other.The researcher recommended that future research be conducted on the basis of more sophisticated statistics, real-time based data, a content analysis, and pre- and posttests. An encouragement for new students to use EM for their own diverse purposes was suggested as a practical implication. / Department of Speech Communication
