Abstract

Describes Microcosm an open hypermedia system developed at the Univ. of Southampton. In Microcosm no information concerning links is held in documents; all link information is held in external linkbases which contain details about the source and destination anchors of the links. Microcosm is also composed of independent components which communicate by passing messages. As working in such an open environment reduces system response work is being carried out in to the use of Microcosm as a hypertext onto other delivery systems. As an intermediate stage HyTime based document structures which describe Microcosm hypertext, especially linkbases are currently being produced. A process which will convert a Microcosm dataset into this representation and then further translation programs to convert the representation to run on other hypermedia delivery systems is being defined

Abstract

Reviews the publishing process, including both paper and electronic publishing, authors, publishers and libraries, and the associated publications channels. Focuses on 1 particular publication channel, which incorporated all the steps involved from the acquisition of a manuscript in a generic markup language, such as SGML, to the presentation of the final electronic publication to the user in the library. The use of a markup language is seen as being an essential component for facilitating the exchange of electronic documents between different systems and applications. In addition, the use of a generic markup language allows several of the steps of the publishing process to be automated. Proposess a system which provides the acquisition and authoring tools required to generate electronic books, together with an appropriate interface and readers' services. The system incorporates 2 notable features: a model of an electronic book (hyper-book) based on the book metaphor; and an environment which supports the semiautomatic generation of electronic books (hyper-book builder) starting from a manuscript which is already available in SGML format

Abstract

The Chemistry Online Retrieval Experiment (CORE), a 5 year research and development project, was one of the earliest attempts to make a substantial volume of the text and graphics from previously published scholarly periodicals available to end users in electronic form, across a computer network. Since the CORE Project dealt with materials that had already gone through traditional print publication, its emphasis was on the process and limitations of conversion and the use of the converted contents for readers. Reports results of a survey of users of the CORE system, initially at Cornell University, Chemistry Department and later throughout the campus. User data was collected using: detailed transaction logs, online questionnaires, online comments, interviews, and anecdotes. Typically, usage was found to be top heavy, with the top 35% of users accounting for 80% of usage and the top 20% of users accounting for 64,8% of total system use. Presents further results of the study in terms of: article viewing, printing, reading habits, searching, conversion issues, and article consumption issues

Abstract

Presents some of the problems of academics accepting the credibility of electronic journals and outlines the way in which the new electronic journal 'Glacial geology and geomorphology' is set up. Some findings with respect to acceptance of electronic journals are given. The importance of peer review to provide quality is very important, the look of the material less so. Academics still need to consider the electronic journal as a delivery system as much as an alternative to reading in the library or on screen. The flexibility of approach is considered to be important so that the whole system cana adapt to changing needs and technology

Abstract

An alternative publishing system for scholarly communication and information is emerging on international computer networks such as Internet and Bitnet. This is evident as a growing number of electronic periodicals (e-journals) provide scholarly articles, columns and reviews and have advantages over print publications, such as the speed of publication and dissemination. Electronic periodicals hold great promise, but technological problems and academic acceptance could limit their effectiveness. Some examples of electronic periodicals were investigated as well as the advantages and problems currently associated with this new source of information

Abstract

In order to be effective, the scientific information chain has always needed intermediaries: author, publisher, agent, librarian and user; but these roles are changing and the scientific information chain is in crisis. The system must be modified and the electronic publishing provides a possible answer. Reports on the ICSU/UNESCO Conference of Experts on 'Electronic Publishing in Science', held in Paris in Feb 1996, which approved a series of recommendations. Identifies costs and benefits, and stresses the need for models of the use of electronically stored periodicals

Abstract

Increasingly texts are produced as electronic documents but each document production system uses its own markup reproduce documentation in different media as they are linked only to the physical structure of the document in question. To overcome these drawbacks, information processing specialists have tried to create general languages which, by taking into account the logical structure of a document, would facilitate its exchange and dissemination in different forms. This is why the ISO has sponsored the development of the SGML which become an official standard in 1986. Explains the logic of this language and its use and summarises its many benefits to librarians and information workers

Abstract

Describes the work of the Working Group 8 of ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 subcommittee 18 (JTC1/SC18/WG8) which is developing information technology standards for use in text and Office systems. In 1986 the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) was introduced as one of the key standards in developing systems for open information interchange. In Nov 92 the Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language (HyTime) detailed in ISO 10744 was introduced for the interchange of multimedia and hypermedia. They are currently working on a Standard Multimedia Scripting Language (SMSL) which will enable system developers to interchange multimedia scripts, probably using the UK developed Architecture Neutral Distribution Format (ANDF)

Abstract

Current hypertext systems have been widely and effectively used on relatively small data volumes. Explores the potential of database technology for aiding the implementation of hypertext systems holding very large amounts of complex data. Databases meet many requirements of the hypermedium: persistent data management, large volumes, data modelling, multi-level architecture with abstractions and views, metadata integrated with operational data, short-term transaction processing and high-level end-user languages for searching and updating data. Describes a system implementing the storage, retrieval and recall of trails through hypertext comprising textual complex objects (to illustrate the potential for the use of data bases). Discusses weaknesses in current database systems for handling the complex modelling required

Abstract

Examines the history of scientific communication and the complex roles traditionally played by scientific periodicals in an attempt to understand how and when these periodicals are likely to incorporate new technologies and forms of information communication. Concludes that: enabling technologies may not be sufficient to bring about major changes in communication form; new forms of information communication are slow to develop and to take full advantage of new capabilities; periodicals and books took years to develop and the same shoul be expected of electronic periodicals; authors must have confidence in the ability of electronic periodicals to serve as public knowledge; the central function of periodicals is fully embedded in the scientific process; the information content carried in the structure of the current system must not be lost (at least until technology can provide alternatives); and electronic periodicals must be able to serve the social needs of subdisciplines of scholars
