Using existing metadata standards and tools for a digital language archive: a balancing act

Article discusses how building a digital language archive requires a number of steps to ensure collecting, describing, preserving and providing access to language data in effective and efficient ways. This paper introduces the reader to the background of this project and discusses some of the areas important for representing language materials where both University of North Texas Libraries (UNTL) metadata and CoRSAL metadata practices were adapted to better fit the needs of intended audiences.

Knowledge Management (KM) in Radioactive Waste Management (RWM) (open access)

Knowledge Management (KM) in Radioactive Waste Management (RWM)

By writing this paper we tried to illustrate the practical difference between KM initiatives in R&D and industry. However, the overlapping of the approaches at some certain stages are visible. The information management has been considered as an essential part of the knowledge management in both of organizations. The capture of the critical knowledge in both organizations remains a main issue even if the selected methods are different. The coaching & mentoring program which are well implemented at the IRE (HZDR), are may be difficult to realize/accomplish at the BGE. However, the pilot coaching program is planned at the BGE, but currently not available due to the “young” founding date in 2017. One of the main concerns of the BGE as an implementer, is the motivation and encouragement of all employees to share and distribute their knowledge and benefit from each other.

Learning to Support Computable  Biomedical Knowledge (CBK) (open access)

Learning to Support Computable Biomedical Knowledge (CBK)

Using technology and e-publication formats, Mobilizing Computable Biomedical Knowledge (MCBK) aims to promote learning health services and reduce time to get healthcare products to patients. This paper summarizes developing a community of practice (CoP) experts, providing educational activities, and plans for sustainable Open Educational Resource (OER) materials online as funded by an IMLS grant.* Activities were part of a pilot training for 20 knowledge managers, students and professionals in Library and Information Science (LIS) in December, 2021. The educational goal is to introduce MCBK concepts globally and and to promote KM and LIS leadership in designing healthcare repositories and accessing information. Beyond text and graphics, CBK publications provide encodable prediction models and computable information in electronic media. It is “dynamic knowledge” in open access formats. Such computable knowledge allows readers to evaluate and validate data or tools that may, for example, compute a risk score for infection. Analysis and review by e-journal readers may reduce time to implementation in healthcare systems or K2P (knowledge to performance) from years with traditional peer- reviewed publications to months using electronic, open access. The summaries and exercises in this paper are from presentations during the pilot training, which were assessed and recommended by student …

Rimsky-Korsakov’s Harmonic Theory: Practical Manual of Harmony, Its Sources, History, and Traditions

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
Rimsky-Korsakov’s Harmonic Theory is the first comprehensive study of his concept of harmony that also traces the history of tonal relationships. Larisa P. Jackson describes and examines Rimsky-Korsakov’s distinctive harmonic theory using his Practical Manual of Harmony as a basis, and places it in historical context of nineteenth-century music theory. She explores in great detail a concept of tonal relationships, fundamental to Rimsky-Korsakov’s view of harmony, and relates this to ideas by German theorists of the period and the Russian theoretical tradition. Jackson examines the concept of modulation and of the relationship of keys and presents a model of his tonal space/map extrapolated from his harmonic system. She identifies specific treatises that help to trace ties between German theoretical ideas and Rimsky-Korsakov’s work.

For the Sake of the Song: Essays on Townes Van Zandt

Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community
After he died, Townes Van Zandt found the success that he sabotaged throughout his short life despite the release of sixteen brilliant albums. Since his death, numerous albums both by and in honor of him have been released and many critical articles published, in addition to several books (including Robert Hardy’s A Deeper Blue by UNT Press). For the Sake of the Song collects ten essays on Townes Van Zandt from a variety of approaches. Contributors examine his legacy; his use of the minor key; his reception in the Austin music scene; and an exploration of his relationship with Richard Dobson, with whom he toured as part of the Hemmer Ridge Mountain Boys. An introduction by editors Ann Norton Holbrook and Dan Beller- McKenna provides an overview of Van Zandt’s literary excellence and philosophical wisdom, rare among even the best songwriters.
