Journal of Interactive Media in Education
JIME was launched in 1996 as a freely accessible, archived, peer reviewed electronic journal for the dissemination and debate of research in educational, interactive multimedia. Founded by Diana Laurillard, and co-edited from the start by Simon Buckingham Shum and Tamara Sumner (now at U. Colorado Boulder), JIME has established itself as a small scale, experimental e-journal which is widely cited for its innovative web-based, conversational peer-review process, its practice of co-publishing web review discussions with articles, its use of embedded multimedia demonstrations of systems. Published and supported solely by the Open University, JIME uses state of the art technologies to demonstrate the potential of 'internet native' scholarly publishing and discourse.
The JIME website has the full text of all articles, review debates and background research articles on our experiences as researchers and publishers: http://www-jime.open.ac.uk/

Semantic Web and Knowledge Services is...
Our research in the Semantic Web area looks at the potentials of fusing together advances in a range of disciplines, and applying them in a systemic way to simplify the development of intelligent, knowledge-based web services and to facilitate human access and use of knowledge available on the web. For instance, we are exploring ways in which tnatural language interfaces can be used to facilitate access to data distributed over different repositories. We are also developing infrastructures to support rapid development and deployment of semantic web services, which can be used to create web applications on-the-fly. We are also investigating ways in which semantic technology can support learning on the web, through a combination of knowledge representation support, pedagogical theories and intelligent content aggregation mechanisms. Finally, we are also investigating the Semantic Web itself as a domain of analysis and performing large scale empirical studies to uncover data about the concrete epistemologies which can be found on the Semantic Web. This exciting new area of research gives us concrete insights on the different conceptualizations that are present on the Semantic Web by giving us the possibility to discover which are the most common viewpoints, which viewpoints are mutually inconsistent, to what extent different models agree or disagree, etc...
Our aim is to be at the forefront of both theoretical and practical developments on the Semantic Web not only by developing theories and models, but also by building concrete applications, for a variety of domains and user communities, including KMi and the Open University itself.
