Experiments with semantic web markup and linked data for libraries. Loading and utilizing URI's on library MARC catalog records. Leveraging id.loc.gov name authorities links to connect patrons to WorldCat Identities.
This document discusses approaches to make linked data more resilient to dependencies on external data sources. It presents four main approaches: 1) coalescing the graph by storing referenced data locally, 2) using link sets and local identifiers linked to external sources, 3) employing a stable URI architecture, and 4) establishing governance and registries for reference data. Registries can help manage lists of identifiers, store reference descriptions, and delegate namespace management to scale linked data efforts and improve stability.
The document discusses several projects related to open metadata and linked data including:
1. The AIM25 project which aggregates archive descriptions from 123 partners and aims to test the value of linked data.
2. The COMET project which is releasing a large subset of bibliographic records under an open license and working to convert them to linked open data.
3. The Jerome project which harvests and unifies data from several library systems, supplements it with open data, and provides fast search APIs.
The document discusses recent developments in standards for displaying mathematical equations online and in ebooks, including MathML, HTML5, and EPUB 3. While support for MathML is growing among browsers and e-readers, there are still gaps that can be filled through MathJax, an open-source JavaScript library. MathML offers benefits like searchability, localization, accessibility, and interoperability for math content on the web and in ebooks.
Automated Equation Processing and Rendering Workflows for PublishersSanders Kleinfeld
Typesetting mathematical equations for print/digital outputs is currently a serious pain point for many publishers. Two common workflow solutions are to either:
1. Use a specialized typesetting tool with rich mathematical rendering support (e.g., LaTeX)
2. Convert all equations to images for use in traditional desktop publishing tools (e.g., InDesign)
However, there are key downsides to both these approaches. For publishers that don’t focus exclusively on math and science titles, spinning up a LaTeX-based production program may require too much overhead in time/resources to justify the investment. And converting equations to images is not ideal either, as it decreases ease of maintainability and poses challenges for digital outputs in terms of both scalability for different form factors and accessibility for visually impaired readers.
As a tech publisher that produces many titles a year with mathematical content, O’Reilly Media was unsatisfied with the compromises entailed by the above workflow choices, and developed an alternative solution: a mathematics API called “STIX” that slots into its XML/
HTML-based single-source workflow.
Automated Equation Breaking: Making Equations ResponsiveAhmed Hindawi
MathML provides a standard way to markup mathematical equations using XML and is currently widely used in the scholarly publishing industry. MathML 3.0 provides some basic automatic line breaking functionality and allows the insertion of different breaking and alignment points to break up a long mathematical formula into several lines to suit a particular text or screen width. However, this is not only tedious, time consuming, and subject to human error, but it essentially provides only a single way to break a particular formula to suit a predetermined text or screen width. In order to address the limitations of manually inserted breaking and alignment points in MathML equations, we developed an automatic equation breaker that breaks the same mathematical formula in different ways to suit a range of text or screen widths. We have also developed a tool that uses this automatic equation breaker to make mathematical equations as responsive as other native HTML elements on a truly responsive website.

CBSE - Grade 8 - Science - Chemistry - Metals and Non Metals - WorksheetSritoma Majumder
Introduction
All the materials around us are made up of elements. These elements can be broadly divided into two major groups:
Metals
Non-Metals
Each group has its own unique physical and chemical properties. Let's understand them one by one.
Physical Properties
1. Appearance
Metals: Shiny (lustrous). Example: gold, silver, copper.
Non-metals: Dull appearance (except iodine, which is shiny).
2. Hardness
Metals: Generally hard. Example: iron.
Non-metals: Usually soft (except diamond, a form of carbon, which is very hard).
3. State
Metals: Mostly solids at room temperature (except mercury, which is a liquid).
Non-metals: Can be solids, liquids, or gases. Example: oxygen (gas), bromine (liquid), sulphur (solid).
4. Malleability
Metals: Can be hammered into thin sheets (malleable).
Non-metals: Not malleable. They break when hammered (brittle).
5. Ductility
Metals: Can be drawn into wires (ductile).
Non-metals: Not ductile.
6. Conductivity
Metals: Good conductors of heat and electricity.
Non-metals: Poor conductors (except graphite, which is a good conductor).
7. Sonorous Nature
Metals: Produce a ringing sound when struck.
Non-metals: Do not produce sound.
Chemical Properties
1. Reaction with Oxygen
Metals react with oxygen to form metal oxides.
These metal oxides are usually basic.
Non-metals react with oxygen to form non-metallic oxides.
These oxides are usually acidic.
2. Reaction with Water
Metals:
Some react vigorously (e.g., sodium).
Some react slowly (e.g., iron).
Some do not react at all (e.g., gold, silver).
Non-metals: Generally do not react with water.
3. Reaction with Acids
Metals react with acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas.
Non-metals: Do not react with acids.
4. Reaction with Bases
Some non-metals react with bases to form salts, but this is rare.
Metals generally do not react with bases directly (except amphoteric metals like aluminum and zinc).
Displacement Reaction
More reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their salt solutions.
Uses of Metals
Iron: Making machines, tools, and buildings.
Aluminum: Used in aircraft, utensils.
Copper: Electrical wires.
Gold and Silver: Jewelry.
Zinc: Coating iron to prevent rusting (galvanization).
Uses of Non-Metals
Oxygen: Breathing.
Nitrogen: Fertilizers.
Chlorine: Water purification.
Carbon: Fuel (coal), steel-making (coke).
Iodine: Medicines.
Alloys
An alloy is a mixture of metals or a metal with a non-metal.
Alloys have improved properties like strength, resistance to rusting.

The Pala kings were people-protectors. In fact, Gopal was elected to the throne only to end Matsya Nyaya. Bhagalpur Abhiledh states that Dharmapala imposed only fair taxes on the people. Rampala abolished the unjust taxes imposed by Bhima. The Pala rulers were lovers of learning. Vikramshila University was established by Dharmapala. He opened 50 other learning centers. A famous Buddhist scholar named Haribhadra was to be present in his court. Devpala appointed another Buddhist scholar named Veerdeva as the vice president of Nalanda Vihar. Among other scholars of this period, Sandhyakar Nandi, Chakrapani Dutta and Vajradatta are especially famous. Sandhyakar Nandi wrote the famous poem of this period 'Ramcharit'.

Acidic, Basic, and
Neutral
Welcome to the fascinating world of acids and bases! Join siblings Ashwin and
Keerthi as they explore the colorful world of substances at their school's
National Science Day fair. Their adventure begins with a mysterious white paper
that reveals hidden messages when sprayed with a special liquid.
In this presentation, we'll discover how different substances can be classified as
acidic, basic, or neutral. We'll explore natural indicators like litmus, red rose
extract, and turmeric that help us identify these substances through color
changes. We'll also learn about neutralization reactions and their applications in
our daily lives.

Editor's Notes
#4: In photo image editing software (we use MS Paint) we need to manually remove any of the formatting as this will cause problems for InftyReader, the specialized math OCR software.
#6: InftyReader chugs through the cleaned up files and using OCR makes the letterforms, numbers and math symbols readable.
#8: We use this free open source Word add-on from our colleagues at Central Washington University to highlight all the math content to make it easier for humans to manually check and edit.
#13: Changes: PRINT PAGE tag
Before: halfway down software recognized GCF and (18,30)=6 as two different equations, this needed to be manually edited.
Needed to manually type in “Example 2” as we cropped this out before using InftyReader.
#14: This is another tool made by Central Washington University. It is another free open source tool that can be used to highlight and read. It also reads math correctly and can be used as a production tool to output an HTML file that will work correctly with one of the 3 main screenreaders: JAWS, Voiceover or NVDA.
#16: Like MS Paint, I never thought I’d be using Internet Explorer ever again. This is what this file looks like in Internet Explorer.
#17: To produce accessible math content from a PDF of a textbook we go through these file formats. It’s a bit complicated but it’s possible.
