Shera remolded traditional library education by means of documentation education to make it
adapted to the trend of specialization of library education. The standpoint of Shera’s documentation
education lied in uplifting the social value of library profession relying on documentation. Shera’s
documentation education served for training librarians, which obviously met his librarianship-
based standpoint. The documentation education at School of Library Science of Western Reserve
University led by Shera was a transitional form of early Information Science education and
promoted the transformation from Library Science education to Library and Information Science
education in America in the 20th century. Shera’s thoughts concerning documentation education
has been comprehensively discussed in the study based on original materials, which is of
significance for further research of Jesse H. Shera, the history of Information Science education
and other related fields.

Data

CHEN Tao〇, LIU Wei & ZHU Qinghua
With the development of “Web of data”, the content of the World Wide Web is no longer purely
text but a collection of entities that can express and simulate events and their interrelationships.
It is very important to specify entity names, attributes, and vocabularies on the World Wide Web.
Europe and the United States have formed extensive Linked Open Data (LOD) services. However,
the lack of Chinese conceptual terms has severely hindered the standardization and promotion of
ontology in Chinese Knowledge Maps and Chinese domains. The SinoPedia platform proposed
in this paper uses RDF triples to assign unique URIs with respect to the current public domain
encyclopedia terminology and persist resources. It follows the Linked Data of W3C that will
publish the resources by four publishing principles. Moreover, the SinoPedia, acts as a publishing
center of resources and can provide Linked data-related services to access external Linked Data
sets (SPARQL Endpoint). The SinoPedia is composed of SOOOPA retrieval module, LODVIEW
publish module and LODLIVE discovery module. It has been associated with DBPedia, WikiData
and the Shanghai Librarian Name Authority File using the SOOOPA module to provide search
services, and self-built resource entries. SinoPedia can store RDF data using OpenLink Virtuoso
