    Abstract
    The success of the World Wide Web Shows that we can access, search, and retrieve information from globally distributed databases. lf a database, such as a library catalog, has some sort of Web-based front end, we can type its URL into a Web browser and use its HTML-based forms to search for items in that database. Depending an how well the query conforms to the database content, how the search engine interprets the query, and how the server formats the results into HTML, we might actually find something usable. While the first two issues depend an ourselves and the server, an the Web the latter falls to the mercy of HTML, which we all know as a great destroyer of information because it codes for display but not for content description. When looking at an HTML-formatted display, we must depend an our own interpretation to recognize such entities as author names, titles, and subject identifiers. The Web browser can do nothing but display the information. lf we want some other view of the result, such as sorting the records by date (provided it offers such an option to begin with), the server must do it. This makes poor use of the computing power we have at the desktop (or even laptop), which, unless it involves retrieving more records, could easily do the result Set manipulation that we currently send back to the server. Despite having personal computers wich immense computational power, as far as information retrieval goes, we still essentially use them as dumb terminals.

    Abstract
    Information subject gateways provide targeted discovery services for their users, giving access to Web resources selected according to quality and subject coverage criteria. Information gateways recognise that they must collaborate on a wide range of issues relating to content to ensure continued success. This report is informed by discussion of content activities at the 1999 Imesh Workshop. The author considers the implications for subject based gateways of co-operation regarding coverage policy, creation of metadata, and provision of searching and browsing across services. Other possibilities for co-operation include working more closely with information providers, and diclosure of information in joint metadata registries

    "... unter diesem Motto hat die Deutsche Bücherei Leipzig am 23. März 2004 auf dem Leipziger Kongress für Bibliothek und Information eine Vortragsreihe initiiert. Vorgestellt wurden Projekte, die sich im Spannungsfeld von Standardisierung und Heterogenität der Sacherschließung bewegen. Die Benutzer unserer Bibliotheken und Informationseinrichtungen stehen heute einer Fülle von Informationen gegenüber, die sie aus zahlreichen Katalogen und Fachdatenbanken abfragen können. Diese Recherche kann schnell zeitraubend werden, wenn der Benutzer mit verschiedenen Suchbegriffen und -logiken arbeiten muss, um zur gewünschten Ressource zu gelangen. Ein Schlagwort A kann in jedem der durchsuchten Systeme eine andere Bedeutung annehmen. Homogenität erreicht man klassisch zunächst durch Normierung und Standardisierung. Für die zwei traditionellen Verfahren der inhaltlichen Erschließung - der klassifikatorischen und der verbalen - haben sich in Deutschland verschiedene Standards durchgesetzt. Klassifikatorische Erschließung wird mit ganz unterschiedlichen Systemen betrieben. Verbreitet sind etwa die Regensburger Verbundklassifikation (RVK) oder die Basisklassifikation (BK). Von Spezial- und Facheinrichtungen werden entsprechende Fachklassifikationen eingesetzt. Weltweit am häufigsten angewandt ist die Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), die seit 2003 ins Deutsche übertragen wird. Im Bereich der verbalen Sacherschließung haben sich, vor allem bei den wissenschaftlichen Universalbibliotheken, die Regeln für den Schlagwortkatalog (RSWK) durchgesetzt, durch die zugleich die Schlagwortnormdatei (SWD) kooperativ aufgebaut wurde. Daneben erschließen wiederum viele Spezial- und Facheinrichtungen mit selbst entwickelten Fachthesauri.
    Neben die Pflege der Standards tritt als Herausforderung die Vernetzung der Systeme, um heterogene Dokumentenbestände zu verbinden. »Standardisierung muss von der verbleibenden Heterogenität her gedacht werden«." Diese Aufgaben können nur in Kooperation von Bibliotheken und Informationseinrichtungen gelöst werden. Die vorgestellten Projekte zeigen, wie dies gelingen kann. Sie verfolgen alle das Ziel, Informationen über Inhalte schneller und besser für die Nutzer zur Verfügung zu stellen. Fachliche Recherchen über mehrere Informationsanbieter werden durch die Heterogenität überwindende Suchdienste ermöglicht. Die Einführung der DDC im deutschen Sprachraum steht genau im Kern des Spannungsfeldes. Die DDC stellt durch ihren universalen Charakter nicht nur einen übergreifenden Standard her. Ihre Anwendung ist nur nutzbringend, wenn zugleich die Vernetzung mit den in Deutschland bewährten Klassifikationen und Thesauri erfolgt. Ziel des Projektes DDC Deutsch ist nicht nur eine Übersetzung ins Deutsche, die DDC soll auch in Form elektronischer Dienste zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Dr. Lars Svensson, Deutsche Bibliothek Frankfurt am Main, präsentierte anschaulichdie Möglichkeiten einer intelligenten Navigation über die DDC. Für die Dokumentenbestände Der Deutschen Bibliothek, des Gemeinsamen Bibliotheksverbundes (GBV) und der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen wurde prototypisch ein Webservice realisiert.
    Dieses DDC-Tool ermöglicht den Zugriff auf lokale, mit DDC-erschlossene Titeldaten. Für einige bereits übersetzte DDC-Klassen kann mithilfe eines Browsers gearbeitet werden. Auch die gezielte verbale Suche nach DDC-Elementen ist möglich. Die Frage nach Aspekten, wie z. B. geografischen, soll durch getrennte Ablage der Notationselemente in den Titeldatensätzen ermöglicht werden. Schließlich lassen sich künftig auch integrierte Suchen über DDC und SWD oder andere Erschließungssysteme denken, um Literatur zu einem Thema zu finden. Das von Lars Svensson vorgestellte Retrieval-Interface bietet eine zentrale Lösung: nicht für jeden lokalen OPAC müssen eigene Suchstrukturen entwickelt werden, um auf DDC-Daten zugreifen zu können. Wie Datenbestände mit verschiedenen Erschließungen unter einer Oberfläche zusammengeführt werden und dabei die DDC als Meta-Ebene genutzt wird, das ist heute schon im Subject Gateway Renardus sichtbar." Der Renardus-Broker ermöglicht das Cross-Browsen und Cross-Searchen über verteilte Internetquellen in Europa. Für die Navigation über die DDC mussten zunächst Crosswalks zwischen den lokalen Klassifikationsklassen und der DDC erstellt werden. Das an der Universitätsbibliothek Regensburg entwickelte Tool CarmenX wurde dazu von der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen weiterentwickelt und ermöglicht den Zugriff auf die ver schiedenen Klassifikationssysteme. Über diese Entwicklungen berichtete Dr. Friedrich Geißelmann, Universitäsbibliothek Regensburg. Er leitete das CARMEN-Teilprojekt »Grosskonkordanzen zwischen Thesauri und Klassifikationen«, in dem das Werkzeug CarmenX entstand. In diesem CARMEN-Arbeitspaket erfolgten sowohl grundlegende methodische Untersuchungen zu Crosskonkordanzen als auch prototypische Umsetzungen in den Fachgebieten Mathematik, Physik und Sozialwissenschaften. Ziel war es, bei Recherchen in verteilten Datenbanken mit unterschiedlichen Klassifikationen und Thesauri von einem vertrauten System auszugehen und in weitere wechseln zu können, ohne genaue Kenntnis von den Systemen haben zu müssen. So wurden z. B. im Bereich Crosskonkordanzen zwischen Allgemein- und Fachklassifikationen die RVK und die Mathematical Subject Classification (MSC) und Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme (PACS) ausgewählt.
    Katja Heyke, Universitäts- und Stadtbibliothek Köln, und Manfred Faden, Bibliothek des HWWA-Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung Hamburg, stellten ähnliche Entwicklungen für den Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften vor. Hier wird eine Crosskonkordanz zwischen dem Standard Thesaurus Wirtschaft (STW) und dem Bereich Wirtschaft der SWD aufgebaut." Diese Datenbank soll den Zugriff auf die mit STW und SWD erschlossenen Bestände ermöglichen. Sie wird dazu weitergegeben an die virtuelle Fachbibliothek EconBiz und an den Gemeinsamen Bibliotheksverbund. Die Crosskonkordanz Wirtschaft bietet aber auch die Chance zur kooperativen Sacherschließung, denn sie eröffnet die Möglichkeit der gegenseitigen Übernahme von Sacherschließungsdaten zwischen den Partnern Die Deutsche Bibliothek, Universitäts- und Stadtbibliothek Köln, HWWA und Bibliothek des Instituts für Weltwirtschaft Kiel. Am Beispiel der Wirtschaftswissenschaften zeigt sich der Gewinn solcher KonkordanzProjekte für Indexierer und Benutzer. Der Austausch über die Erschließungsregeln und die systematische Analyse der Normdaten führen zur Bereinigung von fachlichen Schwachstellen und Inkonsistenzen in den Systemen. Die Thesauri werden insgesamt verbessert und sogar angenähert. Die Vortragsreihe schloss mit einem Projekt, das die Heterogenität der Daten aus dem Blickwinkel der Mehrsprachigkeit betrachtet. Martin Kunz, Deutsche Bibliothek Frankfurt am Main, informierte über das Projekt MACS (Multilingual Access to Subject Headings). MACS bietet einen mehrsprachigen Zugriff auf Bibliothekskataloge. Dazu wurde eine Verbindung zwischen den Schlagwortnormdateien LCSH, RAMEAU und SWD erarbeitet. Äquivalente Vorzugsbezeichnungen der Normdateien werden intellektuell nachgewiesen und als Link abgelegt. Das Projekt beschränkte sich zunächst auf die Bereiche Sport und Theater und widmet sich in einer nächsten Stufe den am häufigsten verwendeten Schlagwörtern. MACS geht davon aus, dass ein Benutzer in der Sprache seiner Wahl (Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch) eine Schlagwortsuche startet, und ermöglicht ihm, seine Suche auf die affilierten Datenbanken im Ausland auszudehnen. Martin Kunz plädierte für einen Integrationsansatz, der auf dem gegenseitigen Respekt vor der Terminologie der kooperierenden Partner beruht. Er sprach sich dafür aus, in solchen Vorhaben den Begriff der Thesaurus föderation anzuwenden, der die Autonomie der Thesauri unterstreicht.

    Abstract
    The combination of different text representations and search strategies has become a standard technique for improving the effectiveness of information retrieval. Combination, for example, has been studied extensively in the TREC evaluations and is the basis of the "meta-search" engines used on the Web. This paper examines the development of this technique, including both experimental results and the retrieval models that have been proposed as formal frameworks for combination. We show that combining approaches for information retrieval can be modeled as combining the outputs of multiple classifiers based on one or more representations, and that this simple model can provide explanations for many of the experimental results. We also show that this view of combination is very similar to the inference net model, and that a new approach to retrieval based on language models supports combination and can be integrated with the inference net model

    Abstract
    User demands to have access to complete and actual information about research may require integration of data from different CRISs. CRISs are rarely homogenous systems and problems of CRISs integration must be addressed from technological point of view. Implementation of CRIS providing access to heterogeneous data distributed among a number of CRISs is described. A few technologies - distributed databases, web services, semantic web are used for distributed CRIS to address different user requirements. Distributed databases serve to implement very efficient integration of homogenous systems, web services - to provide open access to research information, semantic web - to solve problems of integration semantically and structurally heterogeneous data sources and provide intelligent data retrieval interfaces. The problems of data completeness in distributed systems are addressed and CRIS-adequate solution for data completeness is suggested.

    Abstract
    Federated search and distributed information retrieval systems provide a single user interface for searching multiple full-text search engines. They have been an active area of research for more than a decade, but in spite of their success as a research topic, they are still rare in operational environments. This article discusses a prototype federated search system developed for the U.S. government's FedStats Web portal, and the issues addressed in adapting research solutions to this operational environment. A series of experiments explore how well prior research results, parameter settings, and heuristics apply in the FedStats environment. The article concludes with a set of lessons learned from this technology transfer effort, including observations about search engine quality in the real world.

    Abstract
    From 4 to 6 June 2003 the 2nd European Library Seminar / 3rd Gabriel Workshop was held at the Biblioteca Nacional in Lisbon, Portugal. 62 librarians and webmasters from 20 countries participated in the workshop, mainly Gabriel contacts but also quite a number of librarians from Portugal. Since its foundation in 1995 Gabriel, the world wide web service of the European national libraries, has established itself as the official network service of the Conference of European National Librarians (CENL) and has undergone a continuous development. The Gabriel website has been redesigned and restructured, and it was relaunched in summer 2002. At present, 41 libraries from 39 European countries are represented in Gabriel. Gabriel offers access to varied information sources and numerous online-catalogues and Services of the European national libraries. Gabriel is the only trans-European library service.

    Abstract
    A multi-database model of distributed information retrieval is presented, in which people are assumed to have access to many searchable text databases. In such an environment, full-text information retrieval consists of discovering database contents, ranking databases by their expected ability to satisfy the query, searching a small number of databases, and merging results returned by different databases. This paper presents algorithms for each task. It also discusses how to reorganize conventional test collections into multi-database testbeds, and evaluation methodologies for multi-database experiments. A broad and diverse group of experimental results is presented to demonstrate that the algorithms are effective, efficient, robust, and scalable

    Abstract
    Effective retrieval in a distributed environment is an important but difficult problem. Lack of effectiveness appears to have two major causes. First, existing collection selection algorithms do not work well on heterogeneous collections. Second, relevant documents are scattered over many collections and searching a few collections misses many relevant documents. We propose a topic-oriented approach to distributed retrieval. With this approach, we structure the document set of a distributed retrieval environment around a set of topics. Retrieval for a query involves first selecting the right topics for the query and then dispatching the search process to collections that contain such topics. The content of a topic is characterized by a language model. In environments where the labeling of documents by topics is unavailable, document clustering is employed for topic identification. Based on these ideas, three methods are proposed to suit different environments. We show that all three methods improve effectiveness of distributed retrieval

    Abstract
    How to merge and organise query results retrieved from different resources is one of the key issues in distributed information retrieval. Some previous research and experiments suggest that cluster-based document browsing is more effective than a single merged list. Cluster-based retrieval results presentation is based on the cluster hypothesis, which states that documents that cluster together have a similar relevance to a given query. However, while this hypothesis has been demonstrated to hold in classical information retrieval environments, it has never been fully tested in heterogeneous distributed information retrieval environments. Heterogeneous document representations, the presence of document duplicates, and disparate qualities of retrieval results, are major features of an heterogeneous distributed information retrieval environment that might disrupt the effectiveness of the cluster hypothesis. In this paper we report on an experimental investigation into the validity and effectiveness of the cluster hypothesis in highly heterogeneous distributed information retrieval environments. The results show that although clustering is affected by different retrieval results representations and quality, the cluster hypothesis still holds and that generating hierarchical clusters in highly heterogeneous distributed information retrieval environments is still a very effective way of presenting retrieval results to users.

    "Die Nationalbibliotheken von Dänemark, Estland und Lettland haben mit Jahresbeginn den Teilnehmerkreis von »The European Library« (www.europeanlibrary.com) erweitert. Mit der Weiterentwicklung der Portalsoftware ist das Angebot schneller und zuverlässiger geworden. Die unter dem Namen "The Europcan Library," (TEL) im Spätherbst vergangenen Jahres gestartete Europäische Digitale Bibliothek wächst weiter. Bis Ende 2006 werden die Onlinekataloge und mehr als 200 Sammlungen von 2,3 europäischen Nationalbibliotheken über dieses Internetportal recherchierbar sein. Das Angebot wird sich damit innerhalb eines Jahres nahezu verdoppeln. The European library ermöglicht integrierte Suchanfragen über institutionelle und geografische Grenzen hinweg. Das in den umfangreichen Datenbeständen der Bibliotheken repräntierte kuIturelle Erbe Europas wird damit vom Schreibtisch aus zugänglich. Urheberrechtsfreie digitale Dokumente können direkt abgerufen werden. Teilnehmende Bibliotheken passen ihre Kataloge an die Metadaten- und Suchstandards der Europäischen Digitalen Bibliothek an und ermöglichen damit die katalog- und sammlurngsübergreifende Recherche. Für The European Library wurde eine neue Webtechnologie verwendet, mit der Portalfunktionen einfach und preiswert realisiert werden können. Die Software "Portal-in-the-Browser" (www.dlib.org/dlib/february04/vanveen/02vanveen.html) steht Interessenten frei zur Verfügung. Die Entwickler erhoffen eine Anwendung in weiteren kulturellen Bereichen und damit die mögliche Verknüpfung der verschiedenen Sektoren. Für das kommende Frühjahr ist eine Benutzerbefragung zur weiteren Verbesserung von The European library geplant."

    Abstract
    In this position paper we propose a document-centric middleware component called Living Documents to support context-aware information retrieval in distributed communities. A Living Document acts as a micro server for a document which contains computational services, a semi-structured knowledge repository to uniformly store and access context-related information, and finally the document's digital content. Our initial prototype of Living Documents is based an the concept of mobile agents and implemented in Java and XML.

    Abstract
    This article describes two approaches for searching heterogeneous resources, which are explained as they are used in two corresponding existing systems-RIRS (Resource Integration Retrieval System) and HRUSP (Heterogeneous Resource Union Search Platform). On analyzing the existing systems, a possible framework-the MUSP (Multimetadata-Based Union Search Platform) is presented. Libraries now face a dilemma. On one hand, libraries subscribe to many types of database retrieval systems that are produced by various providers. The libraries build their data and information systems independently. This results in highly heterogeneous and distributed systems at the technical level (e.g., different operating systems and user interfaces) and at the conceptual level (e.g., the same objects are named using different terms). On the other hand, end users want to access all these heterogeneous data via a union interface, without having to know the structure of each information system or the different retrieval methods used by the systems. Libraries must achieve a harmony between information providers and users. In order to bridge the gap between the service providers and the users, it would seem that all source databases would need to be rebuilt according to a uniform data structure and query language, but this seems impossible. Fortunately, however, libraries and information and technology providers are now making an effort to find a middle course that meets the requirements of both data providers and users. They are doing this through resource integration.

    Abstract
    This paper proposes the integration of tools to provide unified access to remote and heterogeneous archives, the contents of which can be grouped under the same subject, and which have been integrated to allow the user to navigate and conduct thematic searches. The information sources are locally frequently modified, added to, and removed, therefore attention has been paid to the permanence of their references. Source interoperability is supported at language, protocol and schema levels. The architecture is based on a new common schema of the archives which is defined in new representation and query languages on the basis of an ontology to avoid misunderstanding and ambiguity.

    Abstract
    The objective of the European Library (TEL) project [TEL] was to set up a co-operative framework and specify a system for integrated access to the major collections of the European national libraries. This has been achieved by successfully applying a new approach for search and retrieval via URLs (SRU) [ZiNG] combined with a new metadata paradigm. One aim of the TEL approach is to have a low barrier of entry into TEL, and this has driven our choice for the technical solution described here. The solution comprises portal and client functionality running completely in the browser, resulting in a low implementation barrier and maximum scalability, as well as giving users control over the search interface and what collections to search. In this article we will describe, step by step, the development of both the search and retrieval architecture and the metadata infrastructure in the European Library project. We will show that SRU is a good alternative to the Z39.50 protocol and can be implemented without losing investments in current Z39.50 implementations. The metadata model being used by TEL is a Dublin Core Application Profile, and we have taken into account that functional requirements will change over time and therefore the metadata model will need to be able to evolve in a controlled way. We make this possible by means of a central metadata registry containing all characteristics of the metadata in TEL. Finally, we provide two scenarios to show how the TEL concept can be developed and extended, with applications capable of increasing their functionality by "learning" new metadata or protocol options.

    Abstract
    The National Science Foundation's (NSF) National Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL) program seeks to create, develop, and sustain a national digital library supporting science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) education at all levels -- preK-12, undergraduate, graduate, and life-long learning. The resulting virtual institution is expected to catalyze and support continual improvements in the quality of science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) education in both formal and informal settings. The vision for this program has been explored through a series of workshops over the past several years and documented in accompanying reports and monographs. (See [1-7, 10, 12, and 13].) These efforts have led to a characterization of the digital library as a learning environments and resources network for science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education, that is: * designed to meet the needs of learners, in both individual and collaborative settings; * constructed to enable dynamic use of a broad array of materials for learning primarily in digital format; and * managed actively to promote reliable anytime, anywhere access to quality collections and services, available both within and without the network. Underlying the NSDL program are several working assumptions. First, while there is currently no lack of "great piles of content" on the Web, there is an urgent need for "piles of great content". The difficulties in discovering and verifying the authority of appropriate Web-based material are certainly well known, yet there are many examples of learning resources of great promise available (particularly those exploiting the power of multiple media), with more added every day. The breadth and interconnectedness of the Web are simultaneously a great strength and shortcoming. Second, the "unit" or granularity of educational content can and will shrink, affording the opportunity for users to become creators and vice versa, as learning objects are reused, repackaged, and repurposed. To be sure, this scenario cannot take place without serious attention to intellectual property and digital rights management concerns. But new models and technologies are being explored (see a number of recent articles in the January issue of D-Lib Magazine). Third, there is a need for an "organizational infrastructure" that facilitates connections between distributed users and distributed content, as alluded to in the third bullet above. Finally, while much of the ongoing use of the library is envisioned to be "free" in the sense of the public good, there is an opportunity and a need to consider multiple alternative models of sustainability, particularly in the area of services offered by the digital library. More details about the NSDL program including information about proposal deadlines and current awards may be found at <http://www.ehr.nsf.gov/ehr/due/programs/nsdl>.

    Abstract
    PhysNet offers online services that enable a physicist to keep in touch with the worldwide physics community and to receive all information he or she may need. In addition to being of great value to physicists, these services are practical examples of the use of modern methods of digital libraries, in particular the use of metadata harvesting. One service is PhysDoc. This consists of a Harvest-based online information broker- and gatherer-network, which harvests information from the local web-servers of professional physics institutions worldwide (mostly in Europe and USA so far). PhysDoc focuses on scientific information posted by the individual scientist at his local server, such as documents, publications, reports, publication lists, and lists of links to documents. All rights are reserved for the authors who are responsible for the content and quality of their documents. PhysDis is an analogous service but specifically for university theses, with their dual requirements of examination work and publication. The strategy is to select high quality sites containing metadata. We report here on the present status of PhysNet, our experience in operating it, and the development of its usage. To continuously involve authors, research groups, and national societies is considered crucial for a future stable service.

    Abstract
    This article addresses a crucial issue in the digital library environment: how to support effective interaction of users with heterogeneous and distributed information resources. In particular, this study compared usability, user preference, effectiveness, and searching behaviors in systems that implement interaction with multiple databases as if they were one (integrated interaction) in a experiment in the TREC environment. 28 volunteers were recruited from the graduate students of the School of Communication, Information & Library Studies at Rutgers University. Significantly more subjects preferred the common interface to the integrated interface, mainly because they could have more control over database selection. Subjects were also more satisfied with the results from the common interface, and performed better with the common interface than with the integrated interface. Overall, it appears that for this population, interacting with databases through a common interface is preferable on all grounds to interacting with databases through an integrated interface. These results suggest that: (1) the general assumption of the information retrieval (IR) literature that an integrated interaction is best needs to be revisited; (2) it is important to allow for more user control in the distributed environment; (3) for digital library purposes, it is important to characterize different databases to support user choice for integration; and (4) certain users prefer control over database selection while still opting for results to be merged

    Abstract
    Subject-based retrieval in distributed resources is a current problem in online searches for bibliographic references. Building portals to similar resources is only the ferst step, the subsequent navigation via different search interfaces presents certain difficulties. To make retrieval easier it is necessary to adapt these different resources. Potential approaches (standardisation as opposed to "cross-walks") and methods (automated as opposed to intellectual effort) will be discussed. This includes a Brief appraisal of the future of work with multilingual terminology: - The "classical" approach (Multilingual Thesauri), - The "Internet" approach (linking) Recent developments in mono- and multilingual environments will be presented (MACS, CARMEN, Economics Crosswalk).
