Abstract The present paper proposes the application of Semiotic Engineering theory to Content Management Systems (CMS) focusing on the analysis of how the use of different ontologies can affect the user’s efficiency when performing tasks in a CMS. The analysis is performed using the theoretical semiotic model Web-Semiotic Interface Design Evaluation (W-SIDE model). The Ontology Translation concept is proposed as a practical enhancement for the W-SIDE model. The enhanced model is validated by using a proof of concept based on test cases of a fictitious scenario. The validation process is carried out modifying an open source CMS. The testing of the modified CMS if performed by a volunteer tester that fits both the Ontology Translation concept and the fictitious scenario. Finally, the results of the experiment are critically evaluated establishing limitations, conclusions, and recommendations for future studies.

As the Roman Catholic Church grew across Europe, knowledge began to centralise. Monks labored to transcribe the Bible and other religious works while defining the page structure and layout of the written word. They created beautiful works of art through their illumination and helped to bring the written word and a new mode of knowledge sharing into the lives of those who could afford it. Unfortunately, the heavy labour of transcription meant that only a small quantity of books could be made each year. Then, in the middle of the 15th century, Johannes Gutenberg's invention of the printing press formed the defining moment in Europe's search for a better mass communication interface. An invention still important today, it made quick copying and mass dissemination of information possible. It also helped to standardise page structure and typography making it possible for more people to read and comprehend the text. The printed word remains the most trusted source in today's Information Age. The connected digital environment has again broadened access and added a new element, interactivity, into the formerly static page. However, digital media has yet to see its full potential as it remains tied to the traditions and axioms of print design that came before it. A new interface, free of the strictures of print design, could have an impact not unlike Gutenberg's invention of the printing press.

Over the past several decades, the world has seen a dramatic growth in the activities of global businesses and multinational corporations. While this expansion has led to an increase in the availability of goods and services around the world, with it has also come more occurrences of human rights violations often at the hands or behest of corporations. Yet the role of businesses in human rights also often involves corporate complicity when countries violate human rights. Many of these violations have been clearly brought to the public's attention, such as the use of sweatshops in developing countries. There is no question that as corporations play a greater role in our society, the possibility they have for both advancement and human rights abuse have the potential to increase hand-in-hand. However, there has been great debate over the accountability that corporations should have if and when they violate human rights.

The embedding of coded dates (chronograms) in religious and secular memorial inscriptions became something of an obsession in the early 1700s, especially in the Czech lands. This essay proposes a number of possible reasons for the fashion and further suggests that the appeal of the chronogram had less to do with intellectual vanity – though this played a part – and more with the acknowledged power of inscription itself, particularly when it came in the form of a public prayer.
