Introduction

摘要

Our December issue of New Review of Information Networking (NRIN) represents a time of transition to a new Editor (I'm happy to join NRIN) and a space for refocus on networks of information across the many contexts of library information science, social media, and higher education. The first article, Siimeyye Akca's Access beyond borders: Linked Open Data applications on cultural heritage, explores the role linked open data (LOD) applications play in the work of cultural memory institutions. With the goal of making collections more discoverable and searchable collections more visible and primed for web-based discovery, Akca draws attention to the many considerations of successfully deploying LOD technologies. Qixiang Wu and Lin He extend the theme of discovery to their work with topic clustering in microblogging, Research on Multi-tag Propagation Clustering Method for Microblog Hot Topic Discovery. With a multi-label-propagation approach to recommendation algorithms, the team shares ideas for improving the process for connecting users with relevant topics in public opinion.
