Roučka, Jakub ; Mikeš, Jiří (advisor) ; Postler, Milan (referee)
Web 2.0 is loosely defined as a set of interactive and social online tools. This thesis distinguishes between the terms Internet and Web, explains the evolution of the Web towards the Web 2.0 and describes the fundamental parts of this platform. The following chapter examines the network effects, virtual communities and the reason to participate in the online environment. It also investigates the user typology and identifies some serious concerns associated with the current Web. The paper analyses the changes to the consumer environment and identifies the key areas of change. The findings are supported with online research.

Grey literature: from hidden to visible
Pejšová, Petra
Grey literature is information produced on all levels of government, academics, business and industry in electronic and print formats not controlled by commercial publishing i.e. where publishing is not the primary activity of the producing body. (Luxembourg, 1997 - Expanded in New York, 2004, on WWW: http://www.greynet.org/index.html) The role of grey literature in today society was well expressed by Vaska: “It is therefore remarkable how efforts over the past two decades have altered originally preconceived notions of grey literature, resulting in a deeper understanding of how the formation, retrieval, and use of non-traditional material becomes a fundamental companion in one’s research endeavors. The advent and use of new technologies, a prevalent trend in 21st century society, has created increasing awareness of the need to incorporate the grey alongside the white, a boundary that is becoming less distinct and which may become translucent in the not-too-distant future.” (Vaska, 2010) Centralized collecting grey literature started more than thirty years ago. During period 1980 - 2005 non-profit network EAGLE (European Association for Grey Literature Exploitation) created for the acquisition, identification and dissemination of grey literature SIGLE (System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe) database. Nowadays the GreyNet International is a leading organization in dialog, research, and communication between persons and organizations in the field of grey literature. Central access to grey literature is provided by OpenGrey database. OpenGrey is a unique repository providing open access to European grey literature references. OpenGrey is based on the OpenSIGLE/SIGLE database which contains almost 700 thousand records of grey literature. As a multidisciplinary database it covers Science, Technology, Biomedical Science, Economics, Social Science and Humanities. National Repository of Grey Literature will be introduced during the workshop as an example of grey literature on national level.

A linked-data vocabulary of grey literature document types: Version 1.0
Pejšová, Petra ; Mynarz, Jindřich ; Simandlová, Tereza
The first version of the vocabulary of the types of grey literature in RDF (Resource Description Framework) is based on an analysis of grey literature typologies and a draft version of vocabulary presented on GL12. The draft version of the vocabulary of the types of grey literature was reviewed by 14-member international working group appointed to this purpose. From January until July 6, 2011 42 comments and suggestions were accepted. Subsequently, they were incorporated by the NTK (National Technical Library) team. Changes mainly redefined some collections, some document types were merged and others excluded. The major changes concerned the following collections: monographs, informative materials, datasets and research plans. By our poster we would like to introduce the first version and discuss the possibility of using it by grey literature community. The vocabulary of the types of grey literature is publicly available on http://code.google.com/p/grey-literature-typology/ . The record includes also a poster, which was a part of presentation.

Investigation of dependence of the housing characteristics and the amenities in the dwelling on the household type
Čapková, Kateřina ; Řezanková, Hana (advisor) ; Löster, Tomáš (referee)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to provide a comprehensive overview regarding survey of income and living conditions of households in the Czech Republic and propose a feasible approach to the exploitation of the collected data. The diploma thesis describes the framework of the EU-SILC survey and presents its practical implementation in the Czech Republic. A technique utilizing contingency table analysis is proposed for studying asymmetric relationships between selected housing characteristics and amenities in the dwelling with respect to different household types. The analysis is based on the relative frequencies of housing characteristics observed for particular types of households. The frequencies stem from the sample survey of income and living conditions of households carried out in the Czech Republic under the official title of Living Conditions 2008. Asymmetric measures of association for nominal and ordinal variables were used for the description of the relationships as the examined housing characteristics and household types have the character of alternative, nominal or ordinal variables. The analyses show significant relationship of the selected housing characteristics and the amenities in the dwelling on the monitored types of households.

Four models of Christ event representation on background Romans 5,12-21
KRÁL, Tomáš František
The work connects in discussion of problems of Christ event representation in Romans 5,12-21 four theological models: mythical {--} inspired by Mircea Eliade, demythological of Rudolf Bultmann, Cullmann{\crq}s model of salvation history and model of literary science presented by scholars of University in Yale. Mythical model deals problem with rituals and by narration try to represent Christ event in life of each individual. Rudolf Bultmann reacts to this model by demythologizing, when he try to find sense and kernel of Gospels. Oscar Cullmann describes salvation of humankind in process of salvation history. Life of people participated on Christ event in salvation history in eclesial-sacramental principles. Possibilities of formulating story about reality and possibility of its subjective evaluation investigates model of literary science. This model terminates this discussion by structure of biblical passage and by specifying of individual roles in story, which can be typological identified in life of readers.

An Analysis of Current Grey Literature Document Typology
Pejšová, Petra ; Vaska, Marcus
This analysis is based on the classification of the international systems GreyNet, (the Grey Literature Network Service), OpenSIGLE, (the System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe), and the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR), as well as focusing on national schemata in the Czech Republic, namely ASEP (Register of Publication Activity of the AS CR), NRGL (National Repository of Grey Literature), and RIV (Information Register of R & D Results). During the analysis of the lists of document types, we have discovered that these typologies contain, besides “real” document types (reports, theses, etc.) other aspects, such as events (arrangement, organization), types of events (conferences, speeches), producers (universities, institutes), processes (translations, output), content (political documents, legal texts), location (domestic, foreign), and format (e-texts, numeric data). However, this approach is not systematic. Therefore, we have decided to create a classification scheme for document types only, and classify other aspects into various groups in order to define them more precisely. The scheme will be processed in a text version as well as schematically in mind maps.

Publishing the vocabulary of the types of grey literature as linked data
Mynarz, Jindřich ; Pejšová, Petra ; Simandlová, Tereza ; Labuda, Radim
The formulation of the vocabulary of the types of grey literature in RDF (Resource Description Framework) provides an explicit conceptualization of the domain of grey literature. This type of modelling harnesses the expressive power of ontology languages for RDF data format and its flexible and extensible nature. Formalized in this way, the vocabulary serves as a means to describe grey literature resources in a structured, machine-readable manner. Adopting linked data publishing model affords the re-use and light-weight integration of the vocabulary with other vocabularies via links. The vocabulary built in this way can re-purpose existing vocabularies and re-purpose their concepts by putting them in a new context. This may lead to tighter integration of grey literature within the Web and make it easier to be discovered.
