Opera Unite reinvents the Web Cloud computing and Web-based applications will never be the same
Opera Unite reinvents the Web
Cloud computing and Web-based applications will never be the same
June 16, 2009 — Oslo, Norway
http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2009/06/16/
Opera today unveiled Opera Unite, a new technology that shakes up the old client-server computing model of the Web. Opera Unite turns any computer into both a client and a server, allowing it to interact with and serve content to other computers directly across the Web, without the need for third-party servers.
Opera Unite makes serving data as simple and easy as browsing the Web. For consumers, Opera Unite services give greater control of private data and make it easy to share data with any device equipped with a modern Web browser.
For Web developers, Opera Unite services are based on the same open Web standards as Web sites today. This dramatically simplifies the complexity of authoring cutting-edge Web services. With Opera Unite, creating a full Web service is now as easy as coding a Web page.
Opera Unite is available in a special version of the Opera 10 desktop browser from Opera Labs. Opera Unite services run directly in the browser.
It is easy to use Opera Unite
1. Download the Opera Unite build from http://labs.opera.com/.
2. To start Opera Unite, click the Opera Unite logo in the lower left-hand corner of the browser and log in with your existing Opera ID — the same Opera ID used for other Opera services such as My Opera and Opera Link. Opera Unite will prompt you to register an Opera ID if you do not have one.
3. Now you are ready to use Opera Unite. Simply access your Opera Unite services from the Opera Unite panel of the browser. New services can be installed from http://unite.opera.com/.
4. Running a service will give you a direct Web address to the Opera Unite service on your device, for example: http://notebook.jondoe.operaunite.com/photo_sharing/, where “notebook” is the name of the local device serving content, “jondoe” is your username, and “photo_sharing” is the Web service being accessed. That link will also allow others to access the same Web service from your computer through their Web browser.
5. You may also see which friends are using Opera Unite services on your My Opera Unite home page.
Current Opera Unite services are as follows:
*
File Sharing
Securely share a file from your personal computer without waiting to upload it. First select the folder from which you would like to share files. Opera Unite then generates a direct URL to that folder. By giving that link to your friends, you can share files without routing through a third-party Web service.
*
Web Server
Run entire Web sites from your local computer with the Opera Unite Web Server. After selecting the folder containing your Web site, you can share and host it from the given Opera Unite URL. Opera Unite will automatically recognize index files and create the Web site as you designed it.
*
Media Player
Rock out wherever you are by accessing your MP3s and playlists from any machine. After selecting the folder containing your playlist, use the Opera Unite direct link to play your tracks directly in any modern Web browser.
*
Photo Sharing
Share your photos direct from your PC, without uploading them online. Once you select your photo folder, the photo-sharing service will create a thumbnail image gallery of your photos. Clicking the thumbnail will present the photo in its original resolution.
*
The Lounge
The Lounge is a self-contained chat service running on your computer. Your friends can access the chat room via the direct link, which will not require them to sign into any service. Depending on your privacy settings, you need only provide the generated password to your service in order for people to log in to your chatroom.
*
Fridge
Post a note on your friends’ virtual refrigerators. By sharing the direct link to your refrigerator, you and your friends, family or colleagues can exchange notes securely and privately in real time.
These six services represent the beginning of what is possible. Web developers can unleash their creativity to design unique Web services and, in doing so, unlock the full potential of Opera Unite.
What our CEO says
“Today, we are opening the full potential of the Web for everyone,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera. “Technology moves in distinct cycles. PCs decentralized computing away from large mainframes. Opera Unite now decentralizes and democratizes the cloud. With server capability in the browser, Web developers can create Web applications with profound ease. Consumers have the flexibility to choose private and efficient ways of sharing information. We believe Opera Unite is one of our most significant innovations yet, because it changes forever the fundamental fabric of the Web.”
One Web developer to another
“What interests me about Opera Unite is how current technology and the social world are now interconnected,” said Molly E. Holzschlag, Web evangelist, Opera. “Using open standards including HTML, CSS and JavaScript, developers and even enthusiasts with a little standards savvy can make their own Opera Unite service. Opera Unite allows people the ability to be imaginative with their skills and create a wide range of technical and social applications using the same open standards used today.”
Make your own Opera Unite service

* Opera Unite developer’s primer

When you have finished your new Opera Unite service, just upload it to http://unite.opera.com/ and share it with the world.

Open medicine tries 'wiki-publishing'
-----Original Message-----
From: Canadian Medical Libraries List [mailto:CANMEDLIB@CLIFFY.UCS.MUN.CA] On Behalf Of Dean Giustini

Subject: [CANMEDLIB] Open medicine tries 'wiki-publishing'
Hi all,
I wanted to draw your attention to an exciting new project started today by Open Medicine, the open-access, peer-reviewed creative commons medical journal. The editors want to push the boundaries of medical publishing in a new direction and this project aims to explore the use of a wiki to improve and update articles such as narrative and peer-reviewed reviews (including systematic reviews - meta-articles that collate many other articles' data and information).
At the heart of this project is a peer-reviewed published article on the effectiveness of asynchronous telehealth, a form of health care that uses common digital devices to transmit data from clinician to clinician in order to serve remote and underserved communities.
In addition to the usual posted formats of PDF
( http://www.openmedicine.ca/article/view/262/239 )
and HTML
( http://www.openmedicine.ca/article/view/262/238 ),
the article has been posted to a wiki ( http://wikisr.openmedicine.ca ),
where readers are invited to edit the article by adding, deleting or modifying its contents. For example, relevant new studies could be added to this "living" article and the results reinterpreted as they become available.
As an open access journal, the editorial team at Open Medicine is committed to pushing the boundaries of making medical information available to anyone who needs it.

ticTOCs makes it easy to keep up with STM journal content
ticTOCs makes it easy to keep up with STM journal content
www.tictocs.ac.uk
What service allows you to select from thousands of STM journal titles and tick the ones you’re interested in, so you can receive from one source freely available tables of contents from your favorite journals? The answer is ticTOCs — Journal Tables of Contents Service, which provides TOCs from about half the currently published STM journals.
By providing access to the most recent TOCs of over 11,000 scholarly journals from more than 400 publishers, including Elsevier, ticTOCs helps users stay current with the most recent issues of journals covering a wide range of subjects.
Using ticTOCs, you can:
* Find journals of interest by title, subject or publisher,
* View the latest TOCs,
* Link through (where institutional or personal subscriptions, or open access, allow) to the fulltext of over 250,000 articles, and
* Save selected journals to MyTOCs so you can view future TOCs.
The ticTOCs service aggregates TOC RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds produced by journal publishers. The content of the TOCs displayed within ticTOCs depends on the information contained in the publishers’ RSS feeds. RSS feeds exported via ticTOCs are the publishers’ own feeds. Using ticTOCs, you can export selected TOC RSS feeds to popular readers such as Google Reader and Bloglines, and import article citations into RefWorks (where institutional or personal subscriptions allow).
ticTOCs' links to articles are to the fulltext or landing pages on publishers’ websites. Besides Elsevier journals, ticTOCs' content covers journals from Cambridge University Press, Emerald, IEEE, John Wiley and Sons, Inderscience Publishers, Informa (Taylor and Francis), Institute of Physics, Nature Publishing Group, Oxford University Press, Sage Publications, Springer-Verlag, Wolters Kluwer and over 400 other publishers.
The JISC Users & Innovations Programme has funded ticTOCs. The service has been developed by an international consortium, headed by the University of Liverpool Library and also including CrossRef, Cranfield University, DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), Emerald, Heriot-Watt University, Inderscience Publishers, Institute of Physics, Intute, MIMAS, Open J-Gate, ProQuest, RefWorks and SAGE Publishers. end of article

The content of the TOCs displayed within ticTOCs depends on the information contained in the publishers’ RSS feeds. RSS feeds exported via ticTOCs are the publishers’ own feeds. Using ticTOCs, you can export selected TOC RSS feeds to popular readers such as Google Reader and Bloglines, and import article citations into RefWorks (where institutional or personal subscriptions allow).
ticTOCs' links to articles are to the fulltext or landing pages on publishers’ websites. Besides Elsevier journals, ticTOCs' content covers journals from Cambridge University Press, Emerald, IEEE, John Wiley and Sons, Inderscience Publishers, Informa (Taylor and Francis), Institute of Physics, Nature Publishing Group, Oxford University Press, Sage Publications, Springer-Verlag, Wolters Kluwer and over 400 other publishers.
The JISC Users & Innovations Programme has funded ticTOCs. The service has been developed by an international consortium, headed by the University of Liverpool Library and also including CrossRef, Cranfield University, DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals), Emerald, Heriot-Watt University, Inderscience Publishers, Institute of Physics, Intute, MIMAS, Open J-Gate, ProQuest, RefWorks and SAGE Publishers. end of article

Scopus completes extensive archive project
Scopus completes extensive archive project - backfilling 2,450 journals to Volume 1, Issue 1
In January 2007 Scopus announced an agreement with major publishers and societies to add their archives. Scopus has now loaded complete archives for over 2,450 Journals from several publishers back to 1823, Volume 1, Issue 1. With the addition of the archives the pre-1996 material has grown from 15 million records to 18 million records.
In 2007 and 2008, abstracts from complete archives have been added from: Springer/Kluwer, American Physical Society (APS), American Institute of Physics (AIP), Institute of Physics (IoP), Royal Chemical Society (RCS). In addition: The full archive of the journals Nature and Science have now been completed and includes first record of "The Lancet" in 1823.
By adding the archives a wide variety of users will be able to retrieve more results when searching in Scopus. One example is the famous paper of Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen, who in 1935 introduced a thought experiment challenging long-held ideas about the relation between the observed values of physical quantities and the values that can be accounted for by a physical theory. What became known as the EPR paradox (after the last names of the authors), is still being cited in Scopus - so far over 2,600 times.

Project MUSE launches new web interface; enhanced features aid discovery and navigation
Project MUSE launches new web interface; enhanced features aid discovery and navigation
Project MUSE is pleased to announce the release of a new web interface, enhanced with many features to aid ease of navigation, expand discovery, and encourage deeper interaction with the wealth of scholarly content offered by MUSE.
Online now at http://muse.jhu.edu, the new site design offers several new tools and resources for scholars, librarians, and publishers. MUSE offers full text access to current content from nearly 400 high quality journals in the humanities and social sciences, from some 100 not-for-profit publishers, and the web site’s improved features will help users find, utilize and share this content more readily and efficiently.
A highlight of MUSE’s new web site is wider range of functionality at the individual journal article level, including the ability to email a link, find more articles from the same author(s), and share the article via popular social bookmarking services. Color indicators allow users to easily determine to which content they have full text access, at both the journal and article level.
Improved navigation in the site’s informational pages makes it easier for researchers, librarians, and publishers to access tools such as training guides, usage statistics, journal holdings information, and technical documentation. A new search feature also offers the ability to search only the informational pages, to quickly locate key details such as pricing, upcoming journal additions, or supported technologies. An entirely new section is dedicated to information for current and prospective publishers of journals in MUSE.
Additional features are planned to further enhance the new web interface. During the fall and winter, users will begin to see reference linking and a “Related Articles”list at the journal article level, and a new cover sheet with functionality comparable to the HTML articles will be added to the PDF versions.
Titles of specific interest for the UCONN Health Center community include :
American Annals of the Deaf
(Vol. 148 (2003) through current issue)
American Journal of Bioethics
(Vol. 1 (2001) - vol. 4, no. 2 (2004); archive only)
