It's a place for unravelling the complex intersections of humanity, technology, and imagination. Topothesia is not quite an electronic journal. It's an Information Singularity (IS) - a place for information accretion. You throw us data, and if it happens to be sympatico with the direction of the Webspace, it sticks. For the "mission statement" ("vision") of Topothesia, view the following URL using your web browser: http://www.clas.ufl.edu/anthro/Topothesia.html. IF YOU WANT TO SUBMIT TO TOPOTHESIA... When do we want stuff? ---------------------- NOW, or pretty darn soon. What are the areas of interest? ------------------------------- Here are some possible imaginary spaces... the anthropology of science, technology, and computing (what I call anthro-of-STC); examples might include ethnographies of defense installations, computer labs, video production studios, or so forth... speculations about future technologies and their potential human impacts (what I call anthrofuturism) - examples might be space colonization, virtual reality, genetic engineering, life extension, androids, etc... the anthropology of net.culture/cyberculture/virtual culture (what I call cyberanthropology) - examinations of sociocultural, linguistic, or even political (censorship, access, privacy, control, equity, etc.) dynamics of various parts of cyberspace, such as MUDs/MOOs, the Web, Internet Relay Chat, electronic newsmedia, Usenet, BBSes, online services, etc. discussions of anthropological concepts and concerns found in science fiction... discussions of ways to that technological methods are affecting the social sciences for good or ill - content analysis software, CD-ROM, video editing equipment, online databases, etc... "human factors" (or their neglect thereof) in technological design... you get the idea, run what you've got by us, if any of this even sounds remotely like what your stuff is about. Who do you have to be? ---------------------- We primarily want to publish the work of students interested in the areas that the IS covers. That means mostly graduate students - they're the only ones who really care about being published anyway - but we'll certainly take stuff from undergrads and postdocs, and maybe even members of the professoriate, if you ask nicely. You don't have to be in anthropology - but you need to be familiar with some of the concepts of the social sciences. And oh yeah, we'll even take stuff from people outside the academy. The main requirement is interest in the subjects of the journal, and an ability to present theories about them cogently and clearly. What do you have to do? ----------------------- We would ultimately like all submissions to be in plain-Ascii HTML format. You can easily do this using "vanilla" editors like Emacs or BBEdit, or one of the specialized HTML editors for Mac/DOS/Unix/etc. We ask people to follow our style guide. If your submission is of a multimediac nature, we ask all accompanying sounds, images, video, etc. to be in Mosaic-friendly file formats. All linked documents and files should then be compressed into an archive and deposited in our ftp inbox. But first... What do you have to tell us first? ---------------------------------- We want to first see a pre-HTML abstract of the work. Tell us whether you want your work to go in the "Perspectives and Offerings" section or the "Main Engine" section. If it's just for Perspectives and Offerings (we expect things for this area to be short), we'll look over the abstract and tell you whether it's going in the current IS or not... or if we don't want it at all. If it's for the Main Engine, we'll ask you (if we like the abstract) for the document, and then the whole text will be peer-reviewed (mostly by the editorial board, but perhaps some outside review as well) and then sent back to you with suggestions for revisions, corrections, etc. If you've got things you want to see "in print" fast, send 'em to P & O; if you want the benefits of the formal scholarly process (as well as the delays), tell us it's for ME... If we like your stuff, we give you the ftp address. DO NOT MAIL SUBMISSIONS TO THE JOURNAL ADDRESS. We will not take anything that way. What if you're Web-challenged? ----------------------------- We'll take non-HTML ASCII too, even without any attached files or hyperlinks or anchors. We ask people to use HTML if at all possible, because if we HTMLize your document, it won't have your own individual 'touch'... however, these submissions must still go through the same process. We look over the abstract, then you ftp the document into the IS inbox if we like it. What do we want for the Main Engine? ------------------------------------ Stuff for Perspectives and Offerings can be experimental, multimediac in nature, basically "anthing goes" - within reason. Mainly, things for P & O should be short - less than 1200 words. For the Main Engine, things are more formal. We expect you to follow the style guide closely; not to use images spuriously (but inlined charts, tables, graphs, and diagrams are always a plus); to use footnotes, citations, cross-references (to other documents on the Net), and a bibliography; to have a table of contents that links to anchors in the document; and to be prepared to deal with the commentary and response structure that will build up around your documents... also, if you're describing a certain phenomenon on the net (say, a particular MOO or BBS), we ask you to give 'directions' for other cyberanthropologists to go there and do their own "fieldwork"... Got all that? Got an abstract for us to take a look at? Send it to Topothesia@rice.edu, and give us some time to look it over. We'll get back to you shortly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seeker1 [@Nervm.Nerdc.Ufl.Edu] (real info available on request) CyberAnthropologist, TechnoCulturalist, AnthroFuturist, Topothesian Home Page URL: http://www.clas.ufl.edu/anthro/Seeker1_s_CyberAnthro_Page.html "One measures a circle, beginning anywhere." -- Charles Fort ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 5 Mar 1995 16:54:17 EST Reply-To: mwheeler@startext.demon.co.uk Sender: Electronic Journal Publishing List <vpiej-l@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu> From: Martin WHEELER <mwheeler@startext.demon.co.uk> Organization: StarTEXT Subject: Re: Electronic Telegraph In article <"95-03-02-10 AFS778@UCLA.HDI.KFK.D400.DE writes: > Does anybody know the URL for the WWW-service of the > Electronic Telegraph? > The Electronic Telegraph has been running since Nov. 15th last year, and may be found at: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ You will (initially) require a forms capable browser to access the magazine, as the registration process requires you to fill in a short questionnaire, on completion of which you will be allocated a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to allow free access thereafter.

The IPPE's World Wide Web service supplements the previous methods of access via Gopher, ftp, and automated email (see the end of this newsletter for details on all these access methods). The IPPE's WWW service is available by opening the URL http://phil-preprints.L.chiba-u.ac.jp/IPPE.html using Netscape, Mosaic, Lynx, or any other WWW browser (we recommend Netscape). ------------- Status Report ------------- The IPPE continues to enjoy a rate of access of over 100 users per day at our main site in Japan. Additional accesses to the many North American and European sites mirroring the IPPE collection probably greatly exceed this number, but are difficult to quantify. In addition, the rate of submissions to the IPPE has climbed steeply in recent weeks. We are delighted by this trend, and encourage all philosophers to submit their manuscripts to the IPPE in order to benefit from the commentary of their peers. ------------------- Call for Volunteers ------------------- The IPPE seeks motivated and enthuiastic volunteers to assist in the areas of administration, publicity, and technical support. We especially seek persons able to carry out some or all of the following tasks: - liason with the IPPE's international user population of professional philosophers, graduate students, the editorial staffs of philosophical journals, and the staffs of other on-line projects in the humanities and social sciences - editorial work on the newsletter and publicity materials - administrative activities (regarding funding, etc.) - computer support work: UNIX and CGI scripting and related activities. -------------- The IPPE Staff -------------- Coordinators: Dr. Syun Tutiya (Chiba University) and Dr. Richard Reiner (visiting in '95 at the Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh). Adminstrator: Carolyn L Burke (CMU). Board members: Dr. George Gale (University of Missouri, Kansas City), Andrew Burday (McGill University), Istvan Berkeley (University of Alberta), Stephen Rice (York University). ------------------ Accessing the IPPE ------------------ To access the IPPE, proceed as follows: By www: Open the URL http://phil-preprints.L.chiba-u.ac.jp/IPPE.html By gopher: Use Gopher to go to either apa.oxy.edu or kasey.umkc.edu By ftp: ftp to either Phil-Preprints.L.Chiba-U.ac.jp, or mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu By email: Mail to phil-preprints-service@Phil-Preprints.L.Chiba-U.ac.jp To place a paper or comment on the IPPE: see pub/submissions/README.

I cannot seem to find a tag in the serial dtd for editor nor for an editor of a special issue. Also, under the citation tag there is no element for title only for serial title. I found this a bit odd. Is this correct? Is there a dtd for indexes? Does anybody know of a source that may give me some insight? Thanks in advance.

Anderson" <wand@loc.gov> Subject: Re: Multiple versions for remote access serials From: Regina Reynolds, Head, US ISSN Center (NSDP) Les Hawkins, Senior Cataloger, US ISSN Center Melissa Beck, CONSER Cataloger, UCLA Bill Anderson, CONSER Specialist, LC To: CONSRLST, EMEDIA, SERIALST, VPIEJ-L, INTERCAT Re: Multiple versions for remote access serials Date: March 14th How Many Records for Remote Access Serials? Thanks to all who responded to our earlier posting. As promised, we have prepared some hypothetical records for serials issued in multiple *electronic document formats,* a term that seems less problematic than *versions.* We selected two different titles and cataloged each of them two different ways. First we cataloged each title with all document formats represented on one record. Then we created separate records for different formats. We chose this approach partly as an exercise in seeing how feasible each alternative was and what the resulting records might look like, and also to stimulate as open a discussion as possible. We remain aware of the possibility that the one record approach might work best in some cases and multiple records might be required in others. Please note that in creating these *hypothetical* records we have also had to create some new kinds of qualifiers and notes and use some of the computer file fields newly available in the serials format before policies and practices have been fully worked out.

After the New Year, the list moved from its first site at the American Mathematical Society to the University of Pennsylvania. The new list mechanism at the University of Pennsylvania is stable and running smoothly now (reminders below how to unsubscribe and subscribe). We are happy to announce that we now have a searchable archive of all NEWJOUR postings since the list began in 1993. The archive is available by gopher (bookmark and somewhat lengthy URL below) from the server of the Center for Computer Analysis of Texts and has been made possible by the wizardry of Michael Nenashev, sysop at CCAT. The archive itself was prepared by the tireless Lisabeth King of the Association of Research Libraries. There is a WAIS-indexed search function, via which you can ask for all the reports with a particular word (e.g., psychology, and get a quick listing of titles to view. Please feel free to add this link to your gopher and WWW pages; it will continue to grow with each new NEWJOUR posting.

Anderson" <wand@loc.gov> Subject: Re: Multiple versions for remote access serials To: CONSRLST, EMEDIA, SERIALST, VPIEJ-L, INTERCAT From: Jean Hirons, Acting CONSER Coordinator, Library of Congress Subject: Multiple versions for remote access serials Date: March 16, 1995 Thanks to Bill, Les, Regina, and Melissa for all of their hard work on this issue. In the interests of generating discussion, I would like to express my opinion that we should keep all remote versions on one record. While this may be a change from our past practice of describing differences in content as separate "editions," I feel that this medium requires a somewhat different approach. Here are my reasons for favoring one record: 1. I think one record will better serve our users. One record, with appropriate instruction as to the availability of different formats and modes of access, will serve better than multiple records. I find the examples of one record to be clear and consise and I don't think the multiple records add anything. I don't think we have to tell our users just what the differences are, and quite frankly, for serials, this is probably impossible to keep accurate. 2. Creating separate records, causes unnecessary complications for the cataloging: uniform title qualifiers, links, notes, and edition statements. There are already distinctions in these records between note and linking tags (530 vs. 580, 775 vs. 776) that I find to be needlessly confusing. If we create one record for all remote formats and link to other formats (CD, paper, etc.) it will be much clearer. 3. Creating separate records requires the cataloger to distinguish "significant" changes in content that may be difficult to determine. In addition, these differences may change over time. For example, we found one serial where the Web format did not have any appreciable difference from the other formats. In this case, all formats would be kept on one record. But is it not possible that in time, as the publisher becomes more sophisticated, that the Web version might become very different? 4. The addition of new formats with later issues can cause confusing descriptions. Note the last example of Postmodern culture (World Wide Web) which began with Vol. 4, no. 2 (Jan. 1994). By creating a separate record, we are forced to have a different beginning date. The 515 note is meant to cover this, but I don't think it is terribly clear. I still find myself looking for a 780 field! I'm sure that formats will come and go and trying to keep all of this straight on different records, linked to other records, could become a bibliographic nightmare. These are my thoughts. I urge you all to share yours so that we in CONSER can develop a working resolution to this very critical issue. ========================================================================= Date: Sun, 19 Mar 1995 16:33:24 EST Reply-To: ellen detlefsen <ellen@lis.pitt.edu> Sender: Electronic Journal Publishing List <vpiej-l@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu> From: ellen detlefsen <ellen@lis.pitt.edu> Subject: Digital Libraries Symposium - Japan --------- Call for Papers and Participation ISDL'95: International Symposium on Digital Libraries 1995 August 22 - 25, 1995 University of Library and Information Science Tsukuba Science City, Ibaraki, Japan Sponsored by: University of Library and Information Science The issue of digital libraries is key to making global information super-highways really work. Many digital libraries cannot be realized without the integration of various information technologies. Social, cultural and human aspects are also important in the implementation of digital libraries. ISDL'95 will offer a forum for researchers, engineers, librarians, information scientists, and users, all of whom have different backgrounds, but who share equally an interest in digital libraries. Symposium topics will include: * Digital library networks based on high-speed wide-area network technology, * Storage, communication and delivery of multimedia data, * Digitization and database construction, using printed materials from the social sciences, the humanities, and the natural sciences, * Creation, storage, retrieval, and usage of multimedia, * Information visualization and user interfaces, * The digital library as a collection of materials and a collection of information, * The digital library as an environment to support intellectual activities, and * Roles of, and restrictions on, digital libraries in communities. The symposium will include invited talks and contributed paper presentations.

How does this relate to you? The journal emphasizes the intercultural, inter-disciplinary and spans numerous geographical areas and historical periods. TDR addresses performance issues of every kind: theatre, music dance, entertainment, media, sports, politics, aesthetics of everyday life, games, play and ritual. TDR is for people in the performing arts, the social sciences, academics, activists and theorists -- anyone interested in thinking about the "performance" paradigm. The journal is edited by Richard Schechner of the Department of Performance Studies, New York University, and is published quarterly by The MIT Press.

This programme is part of the European Commission's Fourth Framework programme. For the purpose of this study Telepublishing is defined as: digitised information distributed over a wide area network to the consumer (books, journals, magazines, and emerging products). The objectives of the study are to - catalogue all relevant experiments, trials and programmes on a world-wide basis - note the needs of the publishing community - identify the most important characteristics of such research and pilot projects, including user requirements and results - identify those initiatives that fall within the scope of IE and the results available for integration into new projects - enumerate those results which have particular relevance to IE application pilot projects The work will include research and development work support by international, national or private funding; undertaken by national bodies, academic institutes, professional bodies, research organisations and commercial organisations where the outcomes are publicly available. We are keen to hear from any one involved in, or who knows of projects in these area.

As part of its remit, IE propose to fund a number of pilot applications with the purpose of assisting the development of a competitive European 'Superhighway' infrastructure and products to match the innovations taking place in the US and Pacific Rim. A preliminary programme, Exploratory Actions in Multimedia Publishing 1994-95, is supporting of a number of feasibility studies covering areas such as: - Multimedia technologies for electronic newspapers; - Multimedia broking; - Corporate multimedia information systems - technical documentation - Sharing cultural heritage through multimedia telematics - On-line commercial technical publishing service In order to ensure that the feasibility studies and pilot applications build on developments already underway or available, and that the proposed applications meet identified needs, 9 supporting studies have been commissioned to support and inform this stage. The following list of studies demonstrates that the concerns of the studies and feasibility studies cover technology, economic, commercial and non-commercial issues.

Brief list of features: Ghostview parses any known version of Adobe's Document Structuring Conventions. Page size is automatically determined from the Document Structuring Comments. The user is able to override the values from the comments. Window size is set to the bounding box for Encapsulated PostScript figures. Default page size is Letter and can be changed via Xresources or application defaults file to A4 (or any other valid size) for our European friends. Scrollbars appear when necessary. Page orientation is automatically determined from the Document Structuring Comments. The user is able to override the values from the comments. Ability to view at 4 orientations: Portrait, Landscape, Upside-down, and Seascape (for those who rotate landscape the other direction). Ability to restrict rendering to grayscale or monochrome. (Requires ghostscript 2.6.1.) Ability to mark pages for printing, or saving. (Good for people that printed a 100 page document and lost page 59 due to a printer jam.) Can popup zoom windows at printer resolution (1 display dot = 1 printer dot). Ghostview is available from ftp.cs.wisc.edu:/pub/ghost/gnu/ghostview* . Ghostview was written by Tim Theisen <ghostview@cs.wisc.edu>. A screen shot of Ghostview is available. The most frequently asked question about Ghostview is why Ghostscript stops with the message gs: Malformed ghostview color property. This is due to a bug in GNU Ghostscript 2.6.1. Apply the four patches available from ftp.cs.wisc.edu:/pub/ghost/gnu/ghostscipt-2.6.1.fix-0*.tar.gz See the manual page for information on how to use Ghostview. See the HTML manual page for information on how to use Ghostview. A similar program called GSview is available for use under OS/2, MS-Windows 3.1 and MS-Windows NT. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This information was assembled on 17 November 1994. ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 29 Mar 1995 07:49:25 EST Reply-To: kendall <ksimmons%ukanvm.bitnet@pucc.princeton.edu> Sender: Electronic Journal Publishing List <vpiej-l@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu> From: kendall <ksimmons%ukanvm.bitnet@pucc.princeton.edu> Subject: query Hi. I'm hoping those of you who publish electronic journals or newsletters can help me. I'm looking for examples of style sheets, submission guidelines, file format instructions, and other guides provided to people interested in writing for you as well as information on how you provide these guides (e.g. email requests, ftp, sent to new subscribers, etc.).

That is the conclusion of Screen Digest's attempt in its March 1994 issue to provide country-by- country data of the in-home, installed base for the main systems. CD-ROM-equipped personal computers have shown the fastest growth, with the European market now growing even faster than the US. Within Europe, Germany now has by far the largest installed base, followed by the UK, France and Italy. While there were over 15 million multimedia PCs (including Macintosh) in the world's homes by the end of 1994, the global total of dedicated CD-based consoles of all formats (CD-i, 3DO, Sega CD, Saturn, PlayStation) had reached just under 4.5 million. This is against a backdrop of rapidly declining markets for 8-bit cartridge video game platforms and a worldwide slowing in the growth of the 16-bit active installed base. With the high profile format battle for the next generation Digital Video Disc system now intensifying, the prospects for the existing MPEG-1-based Video CD format look more doubtful. Even so, Video CD has quickly emerged as an important cross-platform standard for publishers - with a global in-home installed base of some 780,000 Video CD- compatible machines by end-1994 (comprising CD-i with Digital Video cartridge, multimedia PCs with MPEG board, dedicated Video CD players). Amongst other specific findings of 'Interactive Entertainment: The global hardware market base' in the March 1995 issue of Screen Digest: * the worldwide active installed base of 16-bit cartridge consoles still grew by over a third in 1994 to over 57 million * the global active installed base of 8-bit machines has declined year-on-year since 1991 * the CD-i format grew much faster in Europe than the US during 1994, while the competing 3DO system achieved its main success in Japan * the new 32-bit systems from Sega and Sony have started well in Japan. The survey gives complete country-by-country in-home installed base estimates for PC, PC/CD-ROM, CD-i, 3DO, Video CD, Sega Master System, Sega MegaDrive/Genesis, Sega MegaCD/SegaCD, Sega 32X, Sega Saturn, Nintendo NES, Nintendo SNES, Sony PlayStation.

I realize Acrobat is now free, but I remember back when it was not that a group had plans to create a public domain browser for the format. Our organization uses two non-supported UNIX platforms, and it does not appear that Adobe plans to support additional environments any time soon. My most pressing concern is for Computer Science students here at VPI who will be trying to use our Electronic Reserve system with DEC workstations. Any leads would be most appreciated.

Two possible sources are the Soros Foundation, which is committed to democratising knowledge, and UNESCO, which is committed to making knowledge available to less wealthy countries electronically. It is certainly short-sighted of the Russian Foundation to decline your project as "too unusual," because it is just this sort of unusualness that could produce benefits greatly in excess of the relatively tiny cost of support. Let me know if there is anything I can do tro help.
