Re: recording meetings
A few quick follow up thoughts about this recording thing (the transcripts are v useful to catch up and document what was said, but a bit difficult and long to read. Recordings do have an important place for ppl who cannot attend the meetings) a few other possibilities to explore: - is there anyone really who would not consent to their voice being recorded in this group? aren't most people here to share and make their voice heard? - if not, or if they are a tiny minority, then permission to record could be a condition to participating in the call in the first place. - was thinking about the parallel with taking minutes, isnt a recording the same as minutes? has anyone every objected to what they say in a call be struck of the proceedings? would this be a legitimate/sane request (unless these had been recorded incorrectly of course). How can the law be different between recording an intervention in writing and/or using appropriate technology (voice) - a solution that does not require a muffle functionality to be in place yet, could be having two parallel calls going on one where the participants give consent to record their voice, where they can also speak and intervene, then a 'listen only' call, where participants are not allowed to intervene (but can do so on IRC and email for example) Somehow it feels fair that if someone dont want their voice recorded, by so doing, also waive their right to make their voice heard. They can always post a note :-) Just thoughts for the record Til next PDM On Thu, Dec 22, 2011 at 8:39 PM, Paola Di Maio paola.dim...@gmail.comwrote: Take this opportunity to apologise for missing the last meeting (belated) I was travelling Sounds like there may be a new requirement for recording software feature: when the caller dials the call, should be asked to give consent to record, if this is not given, they should be able to participate in the call, however the recording should be 'muted' or substituted with some music or other drill.

Re: The status of Semantic Web community- perspective from Scopus and Web Of Science (WOS)
Jeremy I also agree with Dan's post and it adds a lot of insights however I dont think the paper necessarily 'misrepresents' rather, it provides a partial view , IMHO statistical analyses tend to present skewed views of the world in all fields nobody in their right mind would take at face value the results of statistical analyses without checking if they correspond to reality (apart obviously from some academics) people have lots of citations to their credit when they have scores of students who are obliged to cite their professors, or lots of friends who reciprocate, it does not mean that the paper cited are necessarily good ones thats a fact about citation life *** so, if we were to tell the story of the SW only from that paper, i agree it would be misleading as long as nobody believes that the truth about something can be contained in any single analysis I am interested in reality as a view, because thats all we get, anyway, no matter what (it can be a better view) i am going through a similar dilemma in my research, ca I really provide the state of the art in any given subject simply by looking at academic literature of it? that would be foolish (thats what they like to believe in universities) no - to begin to have a state of the art, I have to talk to people, and take a good look around various sources and repositories there are methodological validity considerations of course in such a paper the research question for me is: how valid are all partial views of the world? it says 'accepted for pubilcation', does it mean there is still time to make some corrections? some statement about the limitations of the approach, plus additional considerations and context provided by this community and Dans post, could help make the paper an interesting contribution in itself both as a statistical analysis /account and in contrast to reality as observed outside from literature a proof that once again some facts can all be true, but unless the picture is 'complete' can be misleading my inclination would be to try to add a couple of layers of context at the intro and conclusions I dont like to see efforts go to waste, however partial best PDM On Sat, Feb 13, 2010 at 7:12 PM, Jeremy Carroll jer...@topquadrant.comwrote: Dan Brickley wrote: However it did not leave any footprint in the academic literature.
