NewsRight to License News Content
by Barbara Quint
Traditional news publishers have struggled throughout the Age of the Web with the conflict involved in having to use the web to reach readers while still having to maintain at least enough revenue to support operations. Now 29 major news and information companies have signed on as initial investors and participants in NewsRight, an independent digital rights and content licensing organization. It's in the early days, but NewsRight is working on two fronts to build content licensing services. On one hand, it is dealing with its publisher community to set licensing details for specific content. On the other, it is designing licenses for target businesses.

The Accidental Taxonomist, 3rd edition
The Accidental Taxonomist, 3rd edition
by Heather Hedden
Foreword by Stephanie Lemieux
The Accidental Taxonomist is the most comprehensive guide available to the art and science of building information taxonomies. Heather Hedden—a leading taxonomy expert and instructor—walks readers through the process, displaying her trademark ability to present highly technical information in straightforward, comprehensive English.

In this fully revised third edition, Hedden adds an entirely new chapter on ontologies, emphasizes the SKOS model of concepts over the traditional thesaurus model of terms, and provides new insights into taxonomy development techniques. She presents fresh survey data; new screenshots and examples; and updated information on software, career opportunities, and resources for taxonomists.
