1) Open 2) Semantic 3) Social 4) Mobile

Colleagues/

 

I have been invited to give an invited keynote at the University of
Limerick, Ireland, in early June 2009 at a symposium focused on 'New
Paradigms in Scholarly Research'.

 

I have chosen to address this theme with a presentation titled

 

Research and Scholarship In The 21st Century: 

The Paradigms They Are A'Changin > Open / Semantic / Social / Mobile

 

I plan to focus on the four broad themes of 1) Open, 2) Semantic, 3)
Social, and 4) Mobile.

 

Under each I plan to profile significant developments that relate to
each, namely

 

__Open__

Open Access / Open Science / Open Source / Open standards / Etc.

 

__Semantic__

Valued Added Content and Functionality Within Journals / Monographs /
Other Publications

I would be most grateful to learn of particular/specific examples within
each subtopic (within a research/scholarly environment) that you believe
is specifically/particularly noteworthy to profile in my presentation.
