ObjectGraph Dictionary

ObjectGraph Dictionary

This isn’t directly related to digitization, but ObjectGraph Dictionary illustrates an implementation of Google’s predictive-input “Suggest” feature. It would be nice to see this in all sorts of library applications (as Jenny Levine suggests in her blog entry), including search systems used to deliver digitized content.

How to destroy the Earth

Sam's Archive

For the purposes of what I hope to be a technically and scientifically accurate document, I will define our goal thus: by any means necessary, to render the Earth into a form in which it may no longer be considered a planet. Such forms include, but are most definitely not limited to: two or more planets; any number of smaller asteroids; a quantum singularity; a dust cloud.

Pushlets

Pushlets

This site is dedicated to Pushlets, a server-to-client push technology. Read this whitepaper to get a first idea of the why, what and how and try out the Pushlet demos. Additionally, you may want to read my JavaWorld article on Pushlets.

Many other references can be found on the web (e.g. try a search on "pushlets" on Google). In print "Professional JSP" (Wrox Press 1th ed.) devotes text to Pushlets starting on page 610.

More and more Pushlets find their way into applications.
