Institutional Identifiers in Repositories: A Survey Report

"The NISO I2 Working Group surveyed repository managers and developers to determine the current practices and needs of the repository community regarding institutional identifiers. Results from the survey will inform a set of use cases that will be shared with the community, and that are expected to drive the development of a new standard for institutional identifiers."

L'homme est un document comme les autres : du World Wide Web au World Life Web

"Les réseaux sociaux posent aujourd'hui, au sens propre, la question documentaire appliquée au facteur humain. La gestion des identités numériques laisse entrevoir la constitution d'un pan-catalogue des individualités humaines, ouvert à l'indexation par les moteurs de recherche, et pose ainsi la question de la pertinence des profils humains. Ceux qui aujourd'hui indexent indistinctement des informations de nature publique, privée ou intime ont une connaissance très fine de « ce que dit de nous » la somme des documents dont nous sommes entièrement ou partiellement responsables. Il devient nécessaire de questionner le processus qui après avoir ouvert l'indexation à la marchandisation, après l'avoir parée de vertus « sociales », place aujourd'hui l'homme au centre même du cycle documentaire, non plus comme sujet-acteur, mais comme un objet-documentaire ... parmi d'autres. La question qui se pose est donc clairement celle du caractère indexable de l'être humain. Celle de savoir si l'Homme est, ou non, un document comme les autres."

myOneLogin: Single Sign-On for the Cloud

"Single sign-on may seem like a service whose time has past. Meant to provide access to multiple resources through one set of credentials, it initially seemed like a godsend for enterprise I.T. At least, until reality set in. Soon people realized that single sign-on was difficult to set up, risky if not paired with other strong authentication mechanisms, and darned near impossible in real life use cases - so much so, in fact, that some people now prefer the term "reduced sign-on" instead. For the end user - the very person the whole system was supposed to help - SSO was never really that convenient either. But that may be about to change, and all thanks to the cloud and a service called myOneLogin."
