    Abstract
    Das "Internet der Dinge" ist eine der "Perspektiven für Zukunftsmärkte" der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Die Vision vom "Internet der Dinge" wurde erstmals 2004 formuliert, als RFID als eine der Technologien, die die Fantasie der Forscher und Ingenieure beflügelt, in die Welt der Warenströme versuchweise integriert wurde. Klar ist, die Technik lässt sich überall einsetzen, wo man Gegenstände identifizieren, registrieren und ihren Weg verfolgen will. Aber es scheint erst der Anfang einer Revolution zu sein. Das Internet der Dinge entwickelt sich rasant. Realistische Szenarien sollen die Warenströme vereinfachen, zuverlässig machen und Problemlösungen nachvollziehbar gestalten lassen. Keine Orwellschen Horrorszenarien, Transparenz der Warenherkunft, des Warenzustands und der Lieferzuverlässigkeit dienen dem Verbraucher und helfen dabei, unsere ständig komplexer werdende Welt gestaltbar zu erhalten. Bei der Idee hat denn auch, wie der Name "Internet der Dinge" andeutet, das existierende World Wide Web Pate gestanden. Jedes Paket, jeder Container, jeder Transportbehälter, so die Vision, findet selbst den richtigen Weg zum Empfänger. Ort und Zustand der Dinge werden transparent und nachvollziehbar, der Schutz der Intimsphären individuell steuerbar. "Die RFID-Technik macht es möglich", prophezeit der Logistikexperte Prof. Michael ten Hompel, Leiter des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Materialfluss und Logistik IML in Dortmund. "Das Ziel wird einfach in die intelligenten Etiketten geschrieben. So weiß das Paket, wo es hin muss, steuert sich selbst auf seinem Weg durch die Anlagen und bucht seinen Platz in einem Transportfahrzeug", beschreibt ten Hompel die Aufgabe, die die Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in die Realität umsetzen wird.

    Abstract
    The W3C OWL Web Ontology Language has been a W3C recommendation since 2004, and specification of its successor OWL 2 is being finalised. OWL plays an important role in an increasing number and range of applications and as experience using the language grows, new ideas for further extending its reach continue to be proposed. The OWL: Experiences and Direction (OWLED) workshop series is a forum for practitioners in industry and academia, tool developers, and others interested in OWL to describe real and potential applications, to share experience, and to discuss requirements for language extensions and modifications. The workshop will bring users, implementors and researchers together to measure the state of need against the state of the art, and to set an agenda for research and deployment in order to incorporate OWL-based technologies into new applications. This year's 2009 OWLED workshop will be co-located with the Eighth International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC), and the Third International Conference on Web Reasoning and Rule Systems (RR2009). It will be held in Chantilly, VA, USA on October 23 - 24, 2009. The workshop will concentrate on issues related to the development and W3C standardization of OWL 2, and beyond, but other issues related to OWL are also of interest, particularly those related to the task forces set up at OWLED 2007. As usual, the workshop will try to encourage participants to work together and will give space for discussions on various topics, to be decided and published at some point in the future. We ask participants to have a look at these topics and the accepted submissions before the workshop, and to prepare single "slides" that can be presented during these discussions. There will also be formal presentation of submissions to the workshop.

    Rez. in: JASIST 57(2006) no.8, S.1130-1132 (S.R. Tompson): "The editors of This text in MIT Press' Digital Libraries and Electronic Publishing series deliberately view digital libraries (DLs) as "sociotechnical systems" - "networks of technology. information. documents, people and practices''. They allow an additional definition of "sociotechnical" as "an analytical stance that privileges neither the social nor the technological and in which neither is reducible to the other". This is an important definition, as it is the foundation of the contributors' sociological approach to digital libraries, an approach not typical of the DL literature which still focuses "largely on the technology itself". Bishop et al. have two stated goals for this volume: 1. "... to inform police and professional practice in DLs with socially grounded understanding of DLs as part of a web of social relations and practices. 2. "... to perform technically informed social analysis of phenomena of interest to social scientists that are highlighted by digital libraries. specifically issues of work, groups, and knowledge"."

    Rez. in: JASIST 55(2004) no.1, S.90-91 (N. Rhodes): "The recent near-exponential increase in XML-based technologies has exposed a gap between these technologies and those that are concerned with more fundamental data management issues. This very comprehensive and well-organized book has quite neatly filled the gap, thus achieving most of its stated intentions. The target audiences are database and XML professionals wishing to combine XML with modern database technologies and such is the breadth of scope of this book (hat few would not find it useful in some way. The editors have assembled a collection of chapters from a wide selection of industry heavyweights and as with most books of this type, it exhibits many disparate styles but thanks to careful editing it reads well as a cohesive whole. Certain sections have already appeared in print elsewhere and there is a deal of corporate flag-waving but nowhere does it become over-intrusive. The preface provides only the very brietest of introductions to XML but instead sets the tone for the remainder of the book. The twin terms of data- and document-centric XML (Bourret, 2003) that have achieved so much recent currency are re-iterated before XML data management issues are considered. lt is here that the book's aims are stated, mostly concerned with the approaches and features of the various available XML data management solutions. Not surprisingly, in a specialized book such as this one an introduction to XML consists of a single chapter. For issues such as syntax, DTDs and XML Schemas the reader is referred elsewhere, here, Chris Brandin provides a practical guide to achieving good grammar and style and argues convincingly for the use of XML as an information-modeling tool. Using a well-chosen and simple example, a practical guide to modeling information is developed, replete with examples of the pitfalls. This brief but illuminating chapter (incidentally available as a "taster" from the publisher's web site) notes that one of the most promising aspects of XML is that applications can be built to use a single mutable information model, obviating the need to change the application code but that good XML design is the basis of such mutability.
