CS 685 @ Cornell: The Structure of Information Networks
The past decade has seen a convergence of social and technological networks, with systems such as the World Wide Web characterized by the interplay between rich information content, the millions of individuals and organizations who create it, and the technology that supports it. This course covers recent research on the structure and analysis of such networks, and on models that abstract their basic properties. Topics include combinatorial and probabilistic techniques for link analysis, centralized and decentralized search algorithms, network models based on random graphs, and connections with work in the social sciences.
The Structure of Information Networks (Jon Kleinberg)
Just following along with the reading for this course would be interesting. Most of the stuff is on the net, but you could certainly get your hands on the rest through any university library.

Creative Commons is Looking for Open Education Resources
Open Education Search – The Hewlett Foundation is working with ccLearn to develop a web search portal of open education resources. And they are looking for material. I wonder how 4,000 hours of law school class lectures and summaries would work? I think we’re going to find out.
From the Open Education Search FAQ
What data are you gathering to enable web-scale open education search?
Most important: Site URLs
We are collecting top level URLs for sites hosting OERs. A well-known example would be http://ocw.mit.edu. A web-scale open education search should minimally index all pages under such a site URL.Resource URLs
We are also collecting individual resource URLs, for example http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-01TFall-2004/CourseHome/.We are interested in individual resource URLs even where we have a siteURL for the resource’s host, as the resource URL may be annotated morespecifically.Keyword annotations (also known as tags, labels, and subjects, among others)
Both types of URLs may be tagged (or whatever verb you prefer) with keywords. This is optional but desired. How can I ensure that my OERs are included?
If you have lists of OERs or OER sites in any textualformat (that includes XML and XML dialects, such as OAI), we can importfrom these formats. Send the file(s) or URL(s) to Creative Commons CTONathan Yergler: nathan@creativecommons.org. An example would be a URL pointing to an OAI file. It is very likely in this example that we can use
dc:subjectvalues as tags.Contacts
For purely technical questions, see Nathan Yergler above. For allother questions, contact ccLearn Executive Director Ahrash Bissell: ahrash@creativecommons.org.
