    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

    Abstract
    Z39.50 is an information retrieval protocol. It has generated much interest but is so far little deployed in UK systems and services. Gives a functional overview of the protocol itself and the standards background, describes some European initiatives which make use of it, and outlines various issues to do with its future use and acceptance. Z39.50 is a crucial building block of future distributed information systems but it needs to be considered alongside other protocols and services to provide useful applications

    Abstract
    During the 1990s statewide cooperative use of networks in the USA has moved towards providing mainly access to bibliographic and full-text resources not held locally and usually provided by commercial vendors for use by libraries. Describes 3 academic library networks: the University System of Maryland's Library Information Management System serving the information needs of users throughout the state; Georgia's GALILEO (Georgia Library Learning On-Line) which provides a set of electronic resources and services for the 34 colleges and universities of the University System of Georgia; and TexShare in which all 52 libraries from the public educational institutions in Texas participate. Although the development of funding sources, the technical implementations and support, and the management organization differ from state to state, all three reflect an incremental shift towards the electronic library

    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.

    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
    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
    Metasearch - also called parallel search, federated search, broadcast search, and cross-database search - has become commonplace in the information community's vocabulary. All speak to a common theme of searching and retrieving from multiple databases, sources, platforms, protocols, and vendors at the point of the user's request. Metasearch services rely on a variety of approaches including open standards (such as NISO's Z39.50 and SRU/SRW), proprietary programming interfaces, and "screen scraping." However, the absence of widely supported standards, best practices, and tools makes the metasearch environment less efficient for the metasearch provider, the content provider, and ultimately the end-user. To spur the development of widely supported standards and best practices, the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) sponsored a Metasearch Initiative in 2003 to enable: * metasearch service providers to offer more effective and responsive services, * content providers to deliver enhanced content and protect their intellectual property, and * libraries to deliver a simple search (a.k.a. "Google") that covers the breadth of their vetted commercial and free resources. The Access Management Task Group was one of three groups chartered by NISO as part of the Metasearch Initiative. The focus of the group was on gathering requirements for Metasearch authentication and access needs, inventorying existing processes, developing a series of formal use cases describing the access needs, recommending best practices given today's processes, and recommending and pursing changes to current solutions to better support metasearch applications. In September 2005, the group issued their final report and recommendation. This article summarizes the group's work and final recommendation.

    Abstract
    The aims of CATRIONA were: (1) to investigate the requirements for developing procedures and applications for cataloguing and retrieval of networked resources, and (2) to explore the feasibility of a collaborative project to develop such applications and procedures and integrate them with existing library systems. The project established that a distributed catalogue of networked resources integrated with standard Z39.50 library system OPAC interfaces with information on hard-copy resources is already a practical proposition at a basic level. At least one Z39.50 OPAC client can search remote Z39.50 OPACs, retrieve USMARC records with URLs in 856$u, load a viewer like Netscape, and use it to retrieve and display the remotely held electronic resource on the local workstation. A follow-up project on related issues is being finalised.

    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
    Im Januar 2004 wurde das EU-Projekt »The European Library (TEL)« erfolgreich beendet: Die Errichtung einer virtuellen europäischen Nationalbibliothek hat sich als machbar erwiesen. Die Arbeit im TEL-Projekt wurde im Februar 2001 aufgenommen und konzentrierte sich auf folgende Schwerpunkte: - Untersuchung der Möglichkeiten, Vereinbarungen mit Verlegern über die europaweite Bereitstellung elektronischer Publikationen über die Nationalbibliotheken zu erzielen, - Herstellen eines Konsenses unter den beteiligten Partnern über das angestrebte gemeinsame Serviceangebot sowie die Erstellung eines für alle akzeptablen Geschäftsmodells für die Entwicklung, das Management und die Finanzierung dieses Serviceangebots, - Erstellung eines abgestimmten, für weitere Entwicklungen offenen Metadaten-Modells für das geplante Serviceangebot, - Entwicklung und Test einer technischen Umgebung, welche den integrierten Zugang zu den Daten der Partner sowohl über Z39.50 als auch über einen zentralen, XML-basierten Index ermöglicht. Die Ergebnisse des TEL-Projektes sind ein Geschäftsmodell, ein Metadatenmodell sowie eine technische Lösung für die Integration von Daten, auf welche über Z39.50 oder über einen zentralen, XML-basierten Index zugegriffen werden kann. Aufgrund dieser Ergebnisse beschlossen die TEL-Partner (die Nationalbibliotheken von Deutschland, Finnland, Großbritannien, Italien, der Niederlande, Portugal, Slowenien und der Schweiz sowie das Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo Unico delle Biblioteche Italia ne e per le Informazioni Bibliografiche ICCU), nach Beendigung der Projektphase TEL als kostenloses Webangebot der europäischen Nationalbibliotheken aufzubauen. Alle Projektpartner erklärten sich bereit, sich an der Umsetzung und Startfinanzierung zu beteiligen. Langfristig ist die Beteiligung aller in der Konferenz der Europäischen Nationalbibliothekare (CENL) vertretenen Nationalbibliotheken geplant. Das TEL-Projekt ist aus der Idee der Weiterentwicklung von Gabriel entstanden, dem Webservice der CENL-Bibliotheken. Im Jahre 1994 beschlossen die Direktorinnen und Direktoren der europäischen Nationalbibliotheken die Einrichtung eines gemeinsamen Online-Forums, um einen schnelleren und einfacheren Austausch über neue Entwicklungen und Aktivitäten in europäischen Bibliotheken zu ermöglichen. Die Idee wurde bald ausgeweitet, sodass nicht nur ein Forum für alle CENL-Mitglieder, sondern auch ein Informationsangebot über CENL, ihre Mitgliedsbibliotheken und deren OnlineDienste als »single point of access« geplant wurde. Die Nationalbibliotheken von Deutschland, Finnland, Frankreich, Großbritannien und den Niederlanden übernahmen die Entwicklung eines prototypischen Webangebots, das sie »Gabriel - Gateway and Bridge to Europe's National Libraries« nannten. Gabriel bietet Informationen auf drei Ebenen: auf der europäischen Ebene über Kooperationsprojekte und internationale Veranstaltungen, auf nationaler Ebene Beschreibungen der Bibliotheken, ihrer Funktionen und ihrer Sammlungen und schließlich auf individueller Ebene die Dienstleistungsangebote der einzelnen Bibliotheken.

    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
    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
    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.
