"BUILDING A MEANINGFUL WEB: FROM TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE ORGANIZATION SYST= EMS TO NEW SEMANTIC TOOLS"

The Networked Knowledge Organization Systems/Sources (NKOS) Ad Hoc Worki= ng Group (http://nkos.slis.kent.edu) will hold its 6th annual workshop on Ma= y 31 at the Alice Pratt Brown Hall of Rice University in Houston TX in conju= nction with the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (www.jcdl.org).

This year's workshop, "Building a Meaningful Web," will focus on the tra= nsformation of traditional controlled vocabulary approaches, such as authori= ty lists and thesauri, to new forms of knowledge representation such as onto= logies, topic maps, and semantic web components, where relationships between= concepts are richer and more extensive and the requirements of computer pro= cessing are met. =A0The session will include discussion of the contribution=20= of best practices from more traditional approaches to the design of new know= ledge organization systems.

The goal is to bring these often disparate communities together so that=20= the newer efforts of KOS development can take advantage of the best practice= s of more traditional systems and the standards for traditional KOS structur= es can benefit from the technological advances being developed to support im= proved semantic access to web content. =A0Topics include:

* Best practices of traditional KOS systems and their application to new= er semantic forms (ontologies, topic maps, etc.)
* Relevant standards and their status
* Methodologies for transforming legacy KOSs into newer semantic forms
* Development of web services to support the use of KOSs in web-based di= gital libraries
* Updates on current NKOS projects and applications and related NISO sta= ndards activities

The format will consist of invited and volunteered short presentations a= nd plenty of discussion. =A0In addition participants will be given the oppor= tunity to introduce their work and their interests briefly during the worksh= op introduction.

It is not in my nature to send these kind of messages to all and sundry and I can honestly say this was a knee-jerk reaction to an email from Tim pointing out how to unsubscribe from the forum which I over-reacted to. My annoyance stemmed from the fact that I was receiving approximately 5-10 emails a day from people wanting to unsubscribe from the OAI forum and had previously seen a rude message to a subscriber, outlining her/his inability to navigate and unsubscribe from the forum, which I found very irritating. Once again, I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to those of you who have been affected by this unfortunate situation.

Kilgour Award winner announced Dr. Herbert Van de Sompel of the Los Alamos National Laboratories is the winner of the Frederick G. Kilgour Award for Research in Library and Information Technology for 2003. OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc., and the Library and Information Technology Association (LITA), a division of the American Library Association, sponsor the award. The award was established to honor the achievements of Frederick G. Kilgour, the founder of OCLC and a seminal figure in library automation. The award is given to a person who has amassed a significant body of "real world" research in the field of library and information technology that has had an impact in the way in which information is published, stored, retrieved, disseminated or managed. It consists of $2,000, an expense-paid trip to the ALA Annual Conference, and a citation of merit. "The Kilgour Award Committee was delighted to acknowledge the significant work of Dr. Van de Sompel, whose research has contributed significantly to not one, but two major current developments in our field: linking technologies and metadata harvesting." said Larry Woods, chair of the award committee. Based on the research for his PhD, Herbert and his colleague Patrick Hochstenbach created SFX, a system that uses information passed from one information system to create locally appropriate related web links to other systems. The SFX system now is in use in hundreds of libraries worldwide. Parallel products have been or are now being developed by various companies, universities, and other players in the library information technology environment, all based on the insights and architecture developed for SFX. A key element of the SFX linking architecture is the OpenURL, a method for passing bibliographic information from one information system to another encoded in a URL. The OpenURL is now being standardized by NISO (an effort in which Herbert is heavily involved), and shows promise of becoming a key tool in the interoperation of distributed digital library systems. As a matter of fact, it has the potential to change the nature of links on the Web in general. With Carl Lagoze, Herbert led an international effort to devise a protocol by which systems holding descriptive metadata could make that metadata available for "harvesting" and re-use by other information systems. Originally developed to support the building of union catalogs of metadata derived from distributed e-print archives, the protocol has been generalized through work in the larger digital library world as the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. Dr. Van de Sompel received a Masters degree in Mathematics in 1979, and a Masters degree in Computer Science in 1981 and a Ph.D. in Communication Science in 2000 all from Ghent University, Belgium. He is now employed at the Research Library of the Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico as Team Leader, Digital Library Research and Prototyping Group. The award will be presented at the LITA President's Program on Monday, June 23, 2003 at the ALA Annual Conference in Toronto.

As such it has a central role in biomedical science. The knowledge base of peer-review has traditionally lagged far behind its acceptability and use as a quality assessment tool. In the last decade a growing body of research has been available, making synthesis and conceptual analysis possible. We reviewed the evidence of the effects of processes undertaken as part of editorial peer-review of original research studies submitted for paper or electronic publication in biomedical journals. Objectives To estimate the effects of processes in editorial peer-review. Search strategy The following electronic sources were searched: The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2000), MEDLINE 1966 to February 2000, Australasian Medical Index 1980 to 2000, Best Evidence (4, 2000), Bioethicsline 1973 to 2000, CINAHL (Combined Index of Nursing & Allied Health Literature) 1997 to 1999, Current Contents 1999 to 2000, Dissertation Abstracts 1861 to 2000, EMBASE January 1989 to January 2000, HEALTHSTAR 1975 to 1999, National Research Register, PsycLIT 1887 to 2000, PubScience 1998 to February 2000, SIGLE 1980 to 6/1999. We also searched reference lists of relevant articles, posted requests on the EASE and WAME web sites, the Locknet site and hand-searched books and JAMA theme issues and relevant bulletins. The WAME (World Association of Medical Editors), EASE (European Association of Science Editors), and CSE (Council of Science Editors) memberships were canvassed in an effort to locate further published and unpublished studies. Selection criteria We included prospective or retrospective comparative studies, with two or more comparison groups, generated by random or other methods, reporting original research regardless of publication status. We hoped to find studies identifying good submissions on the basis of: importance of the topic dealt with, relevance of the topic to the journal, usefulness of the topic, soundness of methods, soundness of ethics, completeness and accuracy of reporting. Data collection and analysis We identified 135 reports of studies, which could possibly fulfil our inclusion criteria. Twenty-one of these fulfilled our criteria and we excluded the remaining 114 studies from our review. Because of the diversity of study questions, viewpoints, methods and outcomes we carried out a descriptive review of included studies grouping them by broad study questions. Main results The well-researched practice of concealing the identities of peer-reviewers or authors, while laborious and expensive, appears to have little effect on the outcome of the quality assessment process (9 studies). Checklists and other standardisation media have little reliable evidence to support their use (2 studies). There is no evidence that referees' training has any effect on the quality of the outcome (2 studies). Electronic communication media do not appear to have an effect on quality (2 studies). On the basis of one study little can be said about the ability of the peer-review process to detect bias against unconventional drugs. Validity of peer-review was tested by only one small study in a specialist area. Editorial peer-review appears to make papers more readable and improve the general quality of reporting (2 studies), but the evidence for this may be of limited generalisability. Reviewers' conclusions At present there is little empirical evidence to support the use of editorial peer-review as a mechanism to ensure quality of biomedical research, despite its widespread use and costs. A large, well-funded programme of research on the effects of editorial peer-review is needed. This Review should be cited as: Jefferson TO, Alderson P, Davidoff F, Wager E.
