Editorial Introduction to Issue 55: Digital Lives, Digital Values

editor — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 23:00:00 +0000

Richard Waller introduces Ariadne issue 55.

As far back as a work reviewed in Ariadne Issue 41 [1], the notion of personal collections was not exactly novel, but as Pete Williams, Katrina Dean, Ian Rowlands and Jeremy Leighton John remark in Digital Lives: Report of Interviews with the Creators of Personal Digital Collections 'the inexorable march of technological innovation' has served to encourage people to amass increasingly large and diverse personal collections of information about themselves and t

Editorial Introduction to Issue 51: Democratising Cultural Heritage

editor — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 23:00:00 +0000

Richard Waller introduces Ariadne 51.

Having emerged from the political arguments of the 1990s about what culture could be funded and whether it was better to fund soccer or opera, we have moved into an age where, in the UK at least, there are arguments as to what actually constitutes British culture. Fortunately more people are deciding to do culture for themselves than remain passive witnesses to the pundits' debate. The place where they are doing it is online and they are not waiting to see whether their offering attracts the experts' approval - and sometimes, admittedly, one might argue more's the pity.

Web Tools for EU Research Projects

Tuesday 7 February 2006 - Cambridge, UK

EU research projects share lots of information and involve joint working amongst organisations from many different countries. There are many software tools which can support them, from shared workspaces to resource planning and reporting tools, from electronic meetings to web content management. But which tools are effective for EU research projects? Management tools for coordinating a construction project are rarely suitable for the more uncertain world of research.

Editorial Introduction to Issue 45: Smaller Might Be Beautiful

editor — Sat, 29 Oct 2005 23:00:00 +0000

Richard Waller introduces Ariadne issue 45.

While as a fully paid-up cynic I could be forgiven for fingering the metaphorical revolver on sighting a technology evangelist, the evangelist in question has an excellent track record as Ariadne readers will know. Paul Miller in his article Web 2.0: Building the New Library would seem to lift our eyes above the merely technological and in a series of 'Principles' underpinning Web 2.0 provides us with a set of aims with which relatively few might argue violently - on the face of it.

Editorial Introduction to Issue 44: One Day We All Learn the Hard Way

editor — Fri, 29 Jul 2005 23:00:00 +0000

Richard Waller introduces Ariadne issue 44.

Having opined elsewhere in this august organ that it would not be my policy to produce themed issues, I suppose I had better put my hand up at least to accumulating a majority of main articles which address the theme of accessibility from various and interesting perspectives. Having argued on the grounds that Ariadne issues which concentrate unduly on one topic inevitably leave a lot of readers feeling excluded, I can see that that the majority of readers who do not live with significant visual, physical or other impairments will feel hurt and almost certainly betrayed.

Editorial Introduction to Issue 38: The Quality of Metadata Is Not Strained

editor — Fri, 30 Jan 2004 00:00:00 +0000

Richard Waller introduces Ariadne issue 38.

At a time when long-running institutions such as Ariadne are understandably mindful of their independence [1], the decision not to persist in the editorial inclination to lead on articles slightly at a tangent to the main thrust of Ariadne's work might be considered craven. However, under any other circumstances it might justifiably have been considered perverse and hence I begin by drawing your attention to the article by Marieke Guy, Andy Powell and Michael Day.
