In order to deploy such asthese objects, we need to maintain a metadata for them. Inthis paper, we used the term Programming ObjectMetadata for such a metadata. Currently, there is nostandard for this type of metadata. Therefore, this paperfocuses on developing a metadata for the programmingobjects by using IEEE Learning Object Metadata1484.12.1-2002 methodology. The proposed metadata wasvalidated by providing an example of a ProgrammingObject Metadata (POM) in XML format

El Grupo de Trabajo SONEX para el análisis de cuestiones relativas a la interoperabilidad de repositorios = The SONEX Workgroup for the Analysis of Repository Interoperability-Related Issues: a Summary of Activities

Como contribución a esta tarea, se ofrece en este trabajo un resumen de la labor de análisis realizada por el Grupo SONEX (Scholarly Output Notification and Exchange, o Notificación e Intercambio de la Producción Académica), un pequeño grupo de trabajo internacional, finaciado por el Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) en el Reino Unido. El Grupo SONEX se puso en marcha en 2009 con el objetivo de describir, analizar y hacer recomendaciones sobre las oportunidades y casos de uso de depósito y/o transferencia de artículos y otros materiales académicos a los repositorios, proporcionando un marco teórico para la puesta en marcha de proyectos enfocados a aumentar los contenidos almacenados en los mismos.

[EN] Sharing of academic output through an Open Access repository network is becoming commonplace, but a systematic analysis is still required of the available procedures for increasing the work ingest rate into the repository ecosystem, either through content deposit or transfer. As a contribution to this task, a summary is offered in this paper of the analysis performed on the issue by the SONEX Workgroup (Scholarly Output Notification and Exchange, http://sonexworkgroup.blogspot.com/). SONEX is a small international think tank funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) in the UK. The SONEX Workgroup started working in 2009 with the aim of describing, analyzing and providing recommendations on the deposit opportunities and use cases for ingesting research papers into repossitories, thus providing a theoretical framework for JISC-funded projects focused on increasing contents filed into such repositories.

Metadata Mapper: a web service for mapping data between independent visual analysis components, guided by perceptual rules (Proceedings Paper)

There has also been enormous growth in the introduction of tools that provide interactive interfaces for exploring these data dynamically. Most systems, however, do not support the real- time exploration of patterns and relationships across tools and do not provide guidance on which colors, colormaps or visual metaphors will be most effective. In this paper, we introduce a general architecture for sharing metadata between applications and a “Metadata Mapper” component that allows the analyst to decide how metadata from one component should be represented in another, guided by perceptual rules. This system is designed to support “brushing,” in which highlighting a region of interest in one application automatically highlights corresponding values in another, allowing the scientist to develop insights from multiple sources. Our work builds on the component-based iPlant Cyberinfrastructure and provides a general approach to supporting interactive, exploration across independent visualization and visual analysis components.

(Please note that with other references found pertaining to this article, the authors are switched around. This was a mistake on the part of URISA as the Met Council would not cover my expenses to present the paper at the URISA conference, which Rick Gelbmann kindly did on my behalf, so URISA assumed him to be first author).

It has been suggested that this may be partly explained by differences in the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme system responsible for metabolizing the drugs. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses to consider whether testing for CYP450 single nucleotide polymorphisms in adults starting antipsychotic treatment for schizophrenia predicts and leads to improvements in clinical outcomes. High analytic validity in terms of sensitivity and specificity was seen in studies reporting P450 testing. However, there was limited evidence of the role of CYP2D6 polymorphisms in antipsychotic efficacy, although there was an association between CYP2D6 genotype and extrapyramidal adverse effects. No studies reported on the prospective use of CYP2D6 genotyping tests in clinical practice. In conclusion, evidence of clinical validity and utility of CYP2D6 testing in patients being prescribed antipsychotics is lacking, and thus, routine pharmacogenetic testing prior to antipsychotic prescription cannot be supported at present. Further research is required to improve the evidence base and to generate data on clinical validity and clinical utility.The Pharmacogenomics Journal advance online publication, 28 September 2010; doi:10.1038/tpj.2010.73.

Standardization efforts have also been conducted, especially related to the establishment of learning object metadata, describing the relevant characteristics that a learning object should present. This work aims at exploring learning objects according to the conceptual, instructional and didactic perspectives, which have been investigated in the context of domain modeling for the development of learning materials. Our goal is to investigate the impact of these perspectives into the set of characteristics specified by the standards for Learning Objects Metadata under development.

Both are key standards within their respective communities (the former in research information management, the latter in digital library metadata), but each employs a different approach to information architecture, which renders their combination problematic, The article examines three possible ways to use CERIF and METS in conjunction and suggests possible changes of approach to the METS standard to resolve some of the problems that arise.
