Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a generic computing language that provides an outstanding case study of commodification of service standards. The development of this language in the late 1990s marked a shift in computer science as its extensibility let store and share any kind of data. Many office suites software rely on it. The chapter highlights how the largest multinational firms pay special attention to gain a recognised international standard for such a major technological innovation. It argues that standardisation processes affects market structures and can lead to market capture. By examining how a strategic use of standardisation arenas can generate profits, it shows that Microsoft succeeded in making its own technical solution a recognised ISO standard in 2008, while the same arena already adopted two years earlier the open source standard set by IBM and Sun Microsystems. Yet XML standardisation also helped to establish a distinct model of information technology services at the expense of Microsoft monopoly on proprietary software

Descripción y características del Directorio EXIT (Expertos en el tratamiento de la información), puesto en marcha oficialmente en junio de 2005. A los dos años (julio de 2007) se ha evaluado y analizado su funcionamiento, implantación, visibilidad y aceptación por parte de la comunidad profesional de bibliotecarios, documentalistas, archiveros y especialistas en información a la que sirve, y en especial su uso. Técnicamente, EXIT está considerado un directorio estado-del-arte a nivel mundial, siendo además un genuino producto de la web 2.0 ya que son los propios interesados los que rellenan y mantienen al día sus fichas, bajo la supervisión de sus creadores-gestores y de un Comité Evaluador internacional.

As a consequence of the lack of adequate support, many people with physical or sensorial difficulties frequently encounter obstacles to using information technologies. Today equipment and programmes exist for overcoming these barriers, but frequently they are too expensive for the economic limitations of our smaller libraries, document centres, archives, museums, etc. An inexpensive alternative can be found in the accessibility options incorporated into Windows. While these probably do not offer the best or the most adequate solutions, it can be argued that, they are an acceptable alternative, considering existing budget restrictions. This text describes the functionalities of Windows XP, grouping them according to the type of difficulty addressed (visual, motor or auditory) in order to facilitate access to the application.

The article describes blogs and content syndication as tools for disseminating information in libraries and other information centres, as well as in educational and research environments. The authors begin by defining each of these tools, followed by a review of their history and a discussion of how they have been used. Finally, possible applications are suggested for library environments and research spaces, while offering considerations about what activities the library community might carry out in order to convert these tools into an effective means of communication

Since the second half of the 1990s, knowledge management has taken shape and has been firmly consolidated as a new discipline within the realm of organisations. The principal objective of this work is to determine whether content management systems (CMS) can become the most appropriate technological standard for consolidating this field. The article describes and analyses the major functions (publishing and exploitation) of these new systems. It then examines the field of knowledge management ¿what are the different types of knowledge that we can find within an organisational context¿ and then identifies and analyses the operations critical to managing it appropriately. The article concludes by evaluating the extent to which technological solutions provided by CMS can assist in properly implementing these critical operations.

Estat de la qüestió sobre l'ús de les tecnologies de la informació als hospitals pediàtrics per tal d'educar en el lleure i pal·liar l'aïllament d'infants i adolescents i les seves famílies durant l'estada a l'hospital. A partir del grau d'implantació de les tecnologies, s'ha fet una anàlisi de diverses experiències d'arreu del món. S'han identificat dos models diferents pel que fa als objectius: els que centren la seva atenció en aspectes curriculars i els que potencien aspectes lúdics. Ambdós compten amb la implicació del personal sanitari vinculat als pacients i amb la figura del voluntari per a gestionar aquests serveis. Les principals diferències entre els projectes estudiats són les fonts de finançament, la tipologia de serveis que ofereixen i la naturalesa de les entitas que els promociona.

Esta comunicación presenta un estado de la cuestión sobre experiencias virtuales relacionadas con el derecho de los niños hospitalizados a recibir una información adecuada sobre su enfermedad y el tratamiento a seguir. Se parte de un marco legal y normativo (Patient¿s Bill of Rights, Declaración sobre la promoción de los derechos para los pacientes en Europa, Carta europea de los derechos del niño hospitalizado, Manifiesto de la Unesco para bibliotecas públicas, Pautas para bibliotecas al servicio de pacientes de hospital, ancianos y discapacitados en centros de atención de larga duración) que reconoce que hay que garantizar el derecho de los enfermos a disfrutar de una vida plena porque un paciente no es sólo un enfermo sino una persona con derechos. La metodología seguida se basa en una búsqueda exhaustiva en Internet condicionada por factores geográficos, idiomáticos, terminológicos y de silencio informativo. Se ha obviado intencionadamente la descripción del contexto español. Los casos presentados, fruto de una selección, se han analizado teniendo en cuenta cuatro aspectos: descripción, objetivos, ámbito de aplicación y puntos fuertes. Así mismo, los resultados se estructuran en función de las características de los productos o servicios y de su dependencia institucional: elaborados por hospitales, por organizaciones externas que crean productos o servicios y portales de información. Del análisis se deduce que existen numerosos recursos virtuales pero pocos son los que informan al paciente infantil, siendo más frecuentes los dirigidos a adolescentes. La mayoría de las veces la información proporcionada no va más allá de los tópicos o no es adecuada. Predominan las comunidades virtuales frente a la información directa sobre la enfermedad. Se trata de productos o proyectos normalmente desvinculados de las bibliotecas hospitalarias o de las bibliotecas para pacientes y de sus profesionales. Se concluye que el canal más adecuado para facilitar el acceso no sólo a la información sino a una información de calidad, es a través de la biblioteca del hospital, en la que el ¿bibliotecario de cabecera¿ se constituye en un referente constante para el personal sanitario, los pacientes y sus familiares.

Through the strategic initiatives outlined in this plan, and incorporation of those initiatives into the department’s business plans, DAS believes other departments will be able to concentrate their resources on core missions and rely on DAS for the administrative expertise for their operations. This realignment of effort will result in both an increase in efficiency and a reduction in overall cost to State government. Areas of human resources, information technology, financial services, and general services will be provided statewide in a comprehensive, cohesive, and manageable form with opportunity to make those services available to other public entities outside of state government where efficiency and economics support that cooperation.
