A New Semantic Similarity Based Measure For Assessing Research Publication’s Contribution
Added value as semantic distance across citations
Our hypothesis states that the added value of publication p can be estimated based on the semantic distance from the publications cited by p to the publications citing p.

Il crollo di Lehman Brothers
Mentre scrivevo questo libro, Lehman Brothers chiudeva. Per caso ero a New York proprio quel giorno. Ho assistito alla drammatica scena dei dipendenti che lasciavano l’edificio in lacrime con gli scatoloni in mano. È stato deprimente, anche se da un lato ho esultato, lo…
Credete ancora in quello che fate?
Quanto siete soddisfatti di quello che fate? Il meglio che potevate dare non l’avete già dato? Credete ancora in quello che fate? Tanto come agli inizi? Quello che sapete della società per cui lavorate o del prodotto che vendete, si accompagna bene ai vostri valori? Avete…
Considero valore
Ecco, io sono così. A me i soldi servono per vivere come voglio io, ma sono altre le cose che mi eccitano. Mi piace anche il passo di quella bellissima poesia di Erri de Luca, che trasuda essenzialità e significato ad ogni verso: «Considero valore risparmiare acqua, riparare un…

The domain and range of a property
The domain is the class for which a property is formally defined. This means that instances of the property are applicable to instances of its domain class. The range is the class that comprises all potential values of a property. That means that instances of the property can…

Citation metrics for semantic assertions
The current culture of measuring citation of entire articles alone tends to favor the articles describing techniques and resources or long-standing hypotheses with lasting predictive value. It may even contribute to the fixation of initially tentative hypotheses by repetition…

Lessons From My Career Change: Five Ways To Make Your Move Sustainable | Guardian Careers | Guardian Professional
Career change: align your goals with your true values
This takes some time and real work. We often act to fulfil a personal value. Choosing a late night at the office over the gym may signal a high value of commitment to work over health. When you are conscious of the true values driving your decisions, it's easier consciously to…
Rdf Primer
The typed node abbreviation in RDF/XML
It is fairly common in RDF for resources to have rdf:type properties that describe the resources as instances of specific types or classes. Such resources are called typed nodes in the graph, or typed node elements in the RDF/XML. RDF/XML provides a special abbreviation for…
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Stephen R. Covey)
Maps of realities and maps of values
Each of us has many, many maps in our head, which can be divided into two main categories: maps of the way things are, or realities, and maps of the way things should be, or values. We interpret everything we experience through these mental maps.
Integrity, dignity, service and potential
Other examples would include integrity and honesty. They create the foundation of trust which is essential to cooperation and long-term personal and interpersonal growth. Another principle is human dignity. The basic concept in the United States Declaration of Independence…
Principles are not values
Principles are not values. A gang of thieves can share values, but they are in violation of the fundamental principles we’re talking about. Principles are the territory. Values are maps. When we value correct…
What we obtain too easily we esteem lightly
In the words of Thomas Paine, “That which we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly. It is dearness only which gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price on its goods.”
Proactivity means responsibility for our lives
While the word proactivity is now fairly common in management literature, it is a word you won’t find in most dictionaries. It means more than merely taking initiative. It means that as human beings, we are responsible for our own lives. Our behavior is a function of our…
Proactive people carry their own weather
Because we are, by nature, proactive, if our lives are a function of conditioning and conditions, it is because we have, by conscious decision or by default, chosen to empower those things to control us. In making such a choice, we become reactive. Reactive people are often…
Subordinating an impulse to a value
The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person. Reactive people are driven by feelings, by circumstances, by conditions, by their environment. Proactive people are driven by values—carefully thought about, selected and internalized values.
Frankl's three central values
Viktor Frankl suggests that there are three central values in life—the experiential, or that which happens to us; the creative, or that which we bring into existence; and the attitudinal, or our response in difficult circumstances such as terminal illness.
What matters most is how we respond
My own experience with people confirms the point Frankl makes—that the highest of the three values is attitudinal, in the paradigm or reframing sense. In other words, what matters most is how we respond to what we experience in life.
Love as a value actualized through actions
Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions. Proactive people subordinate feelings to values. Love, the feeling, can be recaptured.
Proactive people aren't pushy
There are some people who interpret “proactive” to mean pushy, aggressive, or insensitive; but that isn’t the case at all. Proactive people aren’t pushy. They’re smart, they’re value driven, they read reality, and they know what’s needed.
Victories that turn out empty
People often find themselves achieving victories that are empty, successes that have come at the expense of things
Realizing too late what mattered
they suddenly realize were far
What we lost was worth more
more valuable to them.
Parents trapped in the management paradigm
I’m convinced that too often parents are also trapped in the management paradigm, thinking of control, efficiency, and rules instead of direction, purpose, and family feeling. And leadership is even more lacking in our personal lives. We’re into managing with efficiency…
Ineffective scripts unworthy of us
In developing our own self-awareness many of us discover ineffective scripts, deeply embedded habits that are totally unworthy of us, totally incongruent with the things we really value in life. Habit 2 says we don’t have to live with those scripts. We are response-able to use…
Principles give our values meaning
correct principles that give our values meaning.
The thick of thin things
But I don’t always see those values. I get caught up in the “thick of thin things.” What matters most gets buried under layers of
Live out of imagination, not memory
Because I am self-aware, because I have imagination and conscience, I can examine my deepest values. I can realize that the script I’m living is not in harmony with those values, that my life is not the product of my own proactive design, but the result of the first creation I…
Beginning each day with our values in mind
begin each day with those values firmly in mind. Then as the vicissitudes, as the challenges come, I can make my decisions based on those values. I can act with integrity. I don’t have to react to the emotion, the circumstance. I can be truly proactive, value driven, because my…
A personal mission statement as a constitution
You could call a personal mission statement a personal constitution. Like the United States Constitution, it’s fundamentally changeless. In over two hundred years, there have been only twenty-six amendments, ten of which were in the original Bill of Rights. The United States…
The standard by which all else is judged
else is evaluated and directed.
A changeless core lets us live with change
People can’t live with change if there’s not a changeless core inside them. The key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value. With a mission statement, we can flow with changes. We don’t need prejudgments or…
Everyone has a center
Each of us has a center, though we usually don’t recognize it as such. Neither do we recognize the all-encompassing effects of that center on every aspect of our lives.
Identifying your center
IDENTIFYING YOUR CENTER But where do you stand? What is at the center of your own life? Sometimes that isn’t easy to see. Perhaps the best way to identify your own center is to look closely at your life-support factors. If you can identify with one or more of the descriptions…
A mission statement takes months to write
A mission statement is not something you write overnight. It takes deep introspection, careful analysis, thoughtful expression, and often many rewrites to produce it in final form. It may take you several weeks or even months before you feel really comfortable with it, before…
Living from a self-selected script
And if I do this, day after day my behavior will change. Instead of living out of the scripts given to me by my own parents or by society or by genetics or my environment, I will be living out of the script I have written from my own self-selected value system.
Goals that grow out of our roles
After you identify your various roles, then you can think about the long-term goals you want to accomplish in each of those roles. We’re into the right brain again, using imagination, creativity, conscience, and inspiration. If these goals are the extension of a mission…
A family mission statement
Many families are managed on the basis of crises, moods, quick fixes, and instant gratification—not on sound principles. Symptoms surface whenever stress and pressure mount: people become cynical, critical, or silent or they start yelling and overreacting. Children who observe…
IBM's three changeless values
I am always intrigued whenever I go to IBM and watch the training process there. Time and time again, I see the leadership of the organization come into a group and say that IBM stands for three things: the dignity of the individual, excellence, and service. These things…
Goethe on what matters most
Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least. Goethe
Integrity is the value we place on ourselves
The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal integrity. Integrity is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. It’s our ability to make and keep commitments to ourselves, to “walk our talk.” It’s honor with…
A burning yes that lets us say no
Habit 2 clear sense of direction and value, a burning “yes!” inside that makes it possible to say “no” to other things. It also requires independent will, the power to do something when you don’t want to do it, to be a function of your values rather than a function of the…
Tuning Sparql Queries For Performance | Yarcdata
Term equality versus value equality in SPARQL
Now a lot of users of SPARQL probably don’t even know what I mean by the above, but I would give you good odds that most people are using the former without realizing it or knowing that the latter could actually be more performant in many scenarios. So to illustrate this, let’s…
