Villains, Psychopaths, and Taxonomies
My unending search for unique and special taxonomies took a dark turn this week into the world of psychopaths, specifically those in movies.
Love of Many Kinds
It is Valentine's Day so you can't be too surprised that I found a taxonomy all about love. I was surprised at how many there were but this one jumped out at me if for no other reason than the archaic walk down memory lane when I opened the full paper and found uber mimeographed typewritten paper. I could smell the ink as though I was still in the junior high office turning the barrel of blue ink over and over again, knowing I wouldn't get that stain off my hands for days and not giving a flying fig.
And We’re Off!
Today is the first day of a week full of training, information sharing, and networking at Access Innovation's 10th Annual Data Harmony Users Group (DHUG) meeting. A full-day overview of the Data Harmony software suite takes place today to provide a solid foundation for deeper understanding of the core meeting sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Changing Challenges for Semantic Enrichment
Changes and trends in information technology are perhaps best discovered by examining what users of IT say about how they’re using it. One of those opportunities is happening soon. Every year, Access Innovations hosts a meeting for users of the company’s Data Harmony software products. The theme of this year’s Data Harmony Users Group meeting is “Then and Now: Addressing the Changing Needs of Semantic Enrichment.” This begs some questions: Just what are the new challenges that semantic enrichment needs to meet? And why are the needs changing? Some preliminary answers may be found in the DHUG meeting agenda.
Data Analyst Sought
As we strive to be as helpful as possible to those in the fields of taxonomy, indexing, ontology, etc., we are always excited to share career opportunities that we find with our readers. Even if you aren’t in the market for a career move, it is always good to stay on top of what is available and how the fields are evolving.
Emotions Categorized
Researchers are producing a behavioral catalog which would be emotionally helpful for patients and assist doctors in being more compassionate while dealing with them. The catalog will guide medical training and education by breaking down the discourse and analyzing the context. This interesting information came from News Tonight Africa in their article, "Researchers Hope to Create a Behavioral Taxonomy to Guide Medical Training."
