下面是本人曾经在“博客介绍”栏目中用过的"名人名言"，汇总在此。

Facilities to put machine-understandable data on the Web are quickly becoming a high priority for many organizations, individuals and communities. The Web can reach its full potential only if it becomes a place where data can be shared and processed by automated tools as well as by people. For the Web to scale, tomorrow’s programs must be able to share and process data even when these programs have been designed totally independently.

SemanticWeb Activity Statement, 2004. W3C,WorldwideWeb Consortium.

“In short, the future belongs not to those that merely navigate us through cyberspace, nor those who populate it with data. Rather it belongs to those who help us make sense of all that is available to us.” From John J. Regazzi Miles Conrad Lecture NFAIS Conference 2004

“. . . the future of the library is that there is no library -- at least not as we know it today. ... the always-on Millennial generation is knocking on the workforce door in ever-increasing numbers with expectations that are further rocking the floorboards of the enterprise.” Outsell, Inc., “TrendAlert: Google’s Impact on Libraries,” InfoAboutInfo Briefing, vol. 8 (April 15, 2005)

“[Science is] a series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions . . .[in which] . . . one conceptual world view is replaced by another.” --Thomas Kuhn From The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

Human Knowledge is a process of approximation. In the focus of experience, there is comparative clarity. But the discrimination of this clarity leads into the penumbral background. There are always questions left over. The problem is to discriminate exactly what we know vaguely.

Alfred North Whitehead Essays in Science and Philosophy

Cyberinfrastructure is the coordinated aggregate of software, hardware and other technologies, as well as human expertise, required to support current and future discoveries in science and engineering. The challenge of Cyberinfrastructure is to integrate relevant and often disparate resources to provide a useful, usable, and enabling framework for research and discovery characterized by broad access and “end-to-end” coordination.

NSF CI for Social Science Report

The opportunity is here to create cyberinfrastructure that enables more ubiquitous, comprehensive knowledge environments that become functionally complete .. in terms of people, data, information, tools, and instruments and that include unprecedented capacity for computational, storage, and communication. --Atkins Report

The emergence of ‘cyberspace’ and the World Wide Web is like the discovery of a new continent.– Jim Gray, 1998 Turing Award address (But we have no map yet.)

“The next generation of research breakthroughs will rely upon new ways of handling the immense amounts of data that are being produced by modern research methods and equipment, such as telescopes, particle accelerators, genome sequencers and biological imagers….Similar developments are having an impact in the arts and humanities, and in the social sciences.”

The problem is not how one person can access knowledge but how we can collectively access and manage humanity’s knowledge & expertise and utilize it to solve the diverse challenges.

“Library is not to be constructed of stone and located on a street in Bloomsbury, but of pixels on thousands of screens scattered throughout the world.” William J. Mitchell

“Where is the wisdom/

We have lost in knowledge/

Where is the knowledge/

We have lost in information”

by T. S. Eliot

…否则，国会图书馆将会沦为图书博物馆，它那堪称无价之宝的馆藏，由于使用率越来越低，将越来越远离公众的关注。……图书馆的价值寓于它的重要性之中，存在于不断发展的馆藏中，存在于不断为公众的使用中… ——博格曼《从古登堡到全球信息基础设施》

“Blogging, RSS and tagging are defining a new way of information consumption.” –Thomas Gieselmann

The others see the coincidences, I offer you the consequences.

“The beginning of all understanding is classification”- Hayden White

“the Web is old, the Web is new, the Web is all, the Web is you”

“The multi-agent systems paradigm and the web both emerged around 1990. One has succeeded beyond imagination and the other has not yet made it out of the lab.”(Anonymous 2001)

“XML is Lisp's bastard nephew, with uglier syntax and no semantics. Yet XML is poised to enable the creation of a Web of data that dwarfs anything since the Library at Alexandria.”(Philip Wadler, Et tu XML? The fall of the relational empire, VLDB, Rome, September 2001)

“The Semantic Web will globalize KR, just as the WWW globalize hypertext” (Tim Berners-Lee)

"Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it." Albert Einstein

Information architecture (or synonymously information design) is “the design of organization, labeling, navigation and searching systems to help people find and manage information.” (Richard Wurman in his book “Information Anxiety.”)

“An Ontology is a formal and explicit specification of a shared conceptualisation of a domain of interest” (Studer 1998)？Tom Gruber 1993)

The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers. ----Richard Hamming
