Abstract

The Alexandria Digital Library (ADL) was established in the late 1990s as a response to several perceived problems of traditional map libraries, notably access and organization. By 1999 it had evolved into an operational digital library, offering a well-defined set of services to a broad user community, based on an extensive collection of georeferenced information objects. The vision of ADL continues to evolve, as technology makes new services possible, as its users become more sophisticated and demanding, and as the broader field of geographic information science (GIScience) identifies new avenues for research and application.

Abstract

Special classifications have been somewhat neglected in KO compared to general classifications. The methodology of constructing special classifications is important, however, also for the methodology of constructing general classification schemes. The methodology of constructing special classifications can be regarded as one among about a dozen approaches to domain analysis. The methodology of (special) classification in LIS has been dominated by the rationalistic facet-analytic tradition, which, however, neglects the question of the empirical basis of classification. The empirical basis is much better grasped by, for example, bibliometric methods. Even the combination of rational and empirical methods is insufficient. This presentation will provide evidence for the necessity of historical and pragmatic methods for the methodology of classification and will point to the necessity of analyzing "paradigms". The presentation covers the methods of constructing classifications from Ranganathan to the design of ontologies in computer science and further to the recent "paradigm shift" in classification research. 1. Introduction Classification of a subject field is one among about eleven approaches to analyzing a domain that are specific for information science and in my opinion define the special competencies of information specialists (Hjoerland, 2002a). Classification and knowledge organization are commonly regarded as core qualifications of librarians and information specialists. Seen from this perspective one expects a firm methodological basis for the field. This paper tries to explore the state-of-the-art conceming the methodology of classification. 2. Classification: Science or non-science? As it is part of the curriculum at universities and subject in scientific journals and conferences like ISKO, orte expects classification/knowledge organization to be a scientific or scholarly activity and a scientific field. However, very often when information specialists classify or index documents and when they revise classification system, the methods seem to be rather ad hoc. Research libraries or scientific databases may employ people with adequate subject knowledge. When information scientists construct or evaluate systems, they very often elicit the knowledge from "experts" (Hjorland, 2002b, p. 260). Mostly no specific arguments are provided for the specific decisions in these processes.

Abstract

NOVAGate is a subject-based information gateway covering electronic resources in the agricultural, veterinary and related fields. The service, which opened in July 1998, is produced by the veterinary and agricultural libraries of the 5 Nordic countries - Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden - which serve the NOVA University. The gateway covers Nordic and European resources as well as the resources of international organizations, but being planned is a network of subject gateways which will give access to a wide range of international quality resources within the agricultural, veterinary and related fields. The service uses the ROADS software

Abstract

Libraries have had web presences since the introduction of the World Wide Web. Providing access to information provided by the library has been attempted through various means throughout the years but no method has been as popular or pervasive as the uses of library gateways and portals. Development of gateways and portals in libraries has been affected by many factors many of which have been outside the direct control of libraries or librarians. Both the history of library practice in this area and these external factors have had a substantial impact on the state of library portal and gateway development today.

Abstract

This chapter describes not so much what digital libraries are but what digital libraries with semantic support could and should be. It discusses the nature of Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS) and how KOS can support digital library users. It projects a vision for designers to make and for users to demand better digital libraries. What is a digital library? The term \Digital Library" (DL) is used to refer to a range of systems, from digital object and metadata repositories, reference-linking systems, archives, and content management systems to complex systems that integrate advanced digital library services and support for research and practice communities. A DL may offer many technology-enabled functions and services that support users, both as information producers and as information users. Many of these functions appear in information systems that would not normally be considered digital libraries, making boundaries even more blurry. Instead of pursuing the hopeless quest of coming up with the definition of digital library, we present a framework that allows a clear and somewhat standardized description of any information system so that users can select the system(s) that best meet their requirements. Section 2 gives a broad outline for more detail see the DELOS DL Reference Model.

Abstract

The paper gives a short overview of the history of use of UDC in Internet subject gateways (SGs) with an English interface, from 1993 to 2006. There were in total, nine quality controlled SGs that were functional for shorter or longer periods of time. Their typology and functionality is described. Quality SGs have evolved and the role of classification has changed accordingly from supporting subject organization on the interface and automatic categorization of resources, towards supporting a semantic linking, control and vocabulary mapping between different indexing systems in subject hubs and federated SGs. In this period, many SGs ceased to exist and little information remains available regarding their status. SGs currently using UDC, for some part of their resource organization, do not use a UDC subject hierarchy at the interface and its role in resource indexing has become more difficult to observe. Since 2000, UDC has become more prevalent in East European SGs, portals and hubs, which are outside the scope of this research. This paper is an attempt to provide a record on this particular application of UDC and to offer some consideration of the changes in requirements when it comes to the use of library classification in resource discovery.

Abstract

vascoda (www.vascoda.de), das Internetportal für wissenschaftliche Information bietet einen interdisziplinären Zugriff auf hochwertige Ressourcen unterschiedlicher Publikationsformen und eine komfortable Navigation zu zahlreichen hochwertigen Fachportalen.

Content

"In der zweiten Projektphase, die in diesem Jahr begonnen hat, wird vascoda bis zum Jahr 2007 mit dem Einsatz von moderner Suchmaschinentechnologie zu einer nutzerorientierten und transparenten Dienstleistung ausgebaut werden. vascoda ist ein Gemeinschaftsunternehmen zahlreicher leistungsstarker wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken und Informationseinrichtungen und wird von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) und dem Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) gefördert. vascoda ist das deutsche Internetportal für wissenschaftliche Information in allen Fächern von Anglistik über Pädagogik zu Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Es bietet die Möglichkeit einer interdisziplinären Suche und der Navigation zu zahlreichen Fachportalen. vascoda ist entstanden durch die Kooperation der zwei wesentlichen wissenschaftlichen Fördereinrichtungen in Deutschland, dem Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) und der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). Unter dem Dach von vascoda sind die durch das BMBF finanzierten Informationsverbünde (EconDoc, Getlnfo, infoconnex, MedPilot) und die von der DFG geförderten Virtuellen Fachbibliotheken sowie die von beiden Förderern unterstützte Elektronische Zeitschriften Bibliothek (EZB), die ZDB und die AG Verbundsysteme eine strategische Allianz eingegangen. Inzwischen ist es gelungen, vascoda in eine tragfähige Organisationsform zu überführen. Vertreterinnen und Vertreter aus 26 deutschen Bibliotheken und Fachinformationseinrichtungen haben im September in Hannover den Verein vascoda gegründet, seit November 2005 ist vascoda ein eingetragener Verein (e.V.). Insgesamt arbeiten mehr als 40 deutsche Bibliotheken und Informationseinrichtungen an der Weiterentwicklung von vascoda mit. Hierbei stellt gerade die Vielfalt der beteiligten Einrichtungen und deren oftmals unterschiedliche Interessenslagen eine besondere Herausforderung dar. Beteiligt sind neben Bibliotheken und anderen Einrichtungen auch so genannte Fachinformationszentren, deren Hauptaufgabe es ist, kommerzielle Datenbanken zu erstellen und zu vertreiben.
Eine der wesentlichen Aufgaben des Vereins wird es sein, ein tragfähiges Geschäftsmodell für vascoda zu entwickeln. Die Zusammenarbeit der unterschiedlichen Partner wird inhaltlich über so genannte Kompetenzzentren organisiert. Zuständig für den Betrieb und die Weiterentwicklung des vascoda Portals ist seit April 2006 das hbz in Köln. Die Verantwortung für Evaluation und Qualitätsmanagement teilen sich die ULB Münster und die ZB MED in Köln. Die Geschäftsstelle vascoda, zuständig für Koordinierung, Vereinsmanagement und zentrales Marketing ist an der TIB in Hannover angesiedelt. Diese Kompetenzzentren werden bis Ende 2007 vom BMBF gefördert. Unter der Federführung der SUB Göttingen werden gemeinsam mit der SUB Hamburg und Der Deutschen Bibliothek in Frankfurt am Main die Themenbereiche "Metadaten, Standards und Heterogenitätsbehandlung" bearbeitet. Dieser Bereich wird durch die DFG gefördert. Ebenso ein Kompetenzzentrum zur Homogenisierung der Fachangebote. Hier soll durch einen intensivierten Wissenstransfer zwischen den beteiligten Einrichtungen und durch die Entwicklung neuer einheitlicher Funktionalitäten der Auftritt der Fachportale übersichtlicher gestaltet werden. Federführend ist hier die ZBW in Kiel, die gemeinsam mit dem IZ Sozialwissenschaften in Bonn dieses Aufgabenfeld bearbeitet. Das Ziel von vascoda ist es, mit dem gemeinsamen Portal eine fachübergreifende Recherche in verteilten einschlägigen Datenbeständen mit dem Zugriff auf die gewünschten Dokumente zu verknüpfen und damit den Nutzerinnen und Nutzern Orientierung im zum Teil unüberschaubaren "Anbieterdschungel" zu bieten. vascoda bietet über die gemeinsame Suche Zugriff auf Volltexte, Internetressourcen, bibliographische und andere Fachdatenbanken sowie auf fachspezifische Suchmaschinen. Die einzelnen Fachportale wiederum bieten den Zugriff auf Internet Ressourcen, Bibliotheks-OPACs, Online Contents Datenbanken, Elektronische Zeitschriften, Dokumentlieferdienste, Online-Tutorien und vieles mehr. Die primäre Zielgruppe von vascoda sind Nutzerinnen und Nutzer aus Forschung und Lehre in Hochschulen, Bibliotheken, aber auch außeruniversitären Forschungseinrichtungen sowie in der Wirtschaft.

Abstract

The German information science community - with the support of the two main funding agencies in Germany - will develop a scientific portal, vascoda, for cross-searching distributed metadata collections. In platitudinous words, one of the services of vascoda is going to be a ldquoGooglerdquo-like search for the academic community, an easy to use, yet sophisticated search-engine to supply information on high-quality resources from different media and technical environments. Reaching this objective requires considerable standardisation activity amongst the main players to harmonise the already existing services (e.g. regarding metadata, protocols, etc.). The co-operation amongst the participants including both of the funding agencies is creating a unique team-work situation in Germany thus strengthening the information science community.

Abstract

While the Web has grown significantly in recent years, some portions of the Web remain largely underdeveloped, as shown in a lack of high-quality content and functionality. An example is the Arabic Web, in which a lack of well-structured Web directories limits users' ability to browse for Arabic resources. In this research, we proposed an approach to building Web directories for the underdeveloped Web and developed a proof-of-concept prototype called the Arabic Medical Web Directory (AMedDir) that supports browsing of over 5,000 Arabic medical Web sites and pages organized in a hierarchical structure. We conducted an experiment involving Arab participants and found that the AMedDir significantly outperformed two benchmark Arabic Web directories in terms of browsing effectiveness, efficiency, information quality, and user satisfaction. Participants expressed strong preference for the AMedDir and provided many positive comments. This research thus contributes to developing a useful Web directory for organizing the information in the Arabic medical domain and to a better understanding of how to support browsing on the underdeveloped Web.

Abstract

For most museums, online access to their collections is still a challenge. In museum databases, descriptions include descriptive metadata, along with other information that is often irrelevant to the public. Information that would help users to navigate from an object to one sharing similar characteristics is often absent. The conceptual model developed by the International Committee for Documentation, CIDOC-CRM, which provides a formal structure for linking museum objects, is still not widely adopted by institutions, due to its complexity. This project aims to provide a simpler model that could be more easily adopted. For this phase of the project, a sample of 266 Canadian museums with humanities collections (archaeology, ethnology, history, fine and decorative arts) was identified. It is composed of every museum that, during the fall of 2016, was offering to the public at least a part of its collection online. From each museum, a minimum of ten objects was selected, ensuring that the variety of the collections was represented, and extracted the metadata used in the object descriptions. This inventory, which aimed to provide a comprehensive picture of what museums already offer in terms of metadata associated to their online collections, exposed a lack of standardization and interoperability.

Abstract

Der vollständige Projektname von Renardus lautet "Academic Subject Gateway Service Europe". Renardus wird von der Europäischen Union im 5. Rahmenprogramm mit dem Schwerpunktthema "Information Society Technologies" im zweiten Thematischen Programm "Benutzerfreundliche Informationsgesellschaft" ('Promoting a User-friendly Information Society') gefördert. Die Projektlaufzeit ist von Januar 2000 bis Juni 2002. Insgesamt zwölf Partner (Principal und Assistant Contractors) aus Finnland, Dänemark, Schweden, Großbritannien, den Niederlanden, Frankreich und Deutschland beteiligen sich an diesem Projekt. Die Europäische Union unterstützt das Projekt mit 1,7 Mio. EURO, die Gesamtkosten belaufen sich inklusive der Eigenbeteiligungen der Partner auf 2,3 Mio. EURO. Das Ziel des Projektes Renardus ist es, über eine Schnittstelle Zugriff auf verteilte Sammlungen von "High Quality" Internet Ressourcen in Europa zu ermöglichen. Diese Schnittstelle wird über den Renardus Broker realisiert, der das "Cross-Searchen" und "Cross-Browsen" über verteilte "Quality-Controlled Subject Gateways" ermöglicht. Ein weiteres Ziel von Renardus ist es, Möglichkeiten von "metadata sharing" zu evaluieren und in kleinen Experimenten zwischen z. B. Subject Gateways und Nationalbibliothek zu testen bzw. zu realisieren

Abstract

The concept for the German Digital Libraries Program is imbedded in the Information Infrastructure Program of the German Federal Government for the years 1996-2000 which has been explicated in the Program Paper entitled "Information as Raw Material for Innovation".3 The Program Paper was published 1996 by the Federal Ministry for Education, Research, and Technology. The actual grants program "Global Info" was initiated by the Information and Communication Commission of the Joint Learned Societies to further technological advancement in enabling all researchers in Germany direct access to literature, research results, and other relevant information. This Commission was founded by four of the learned societies in 1995, and it has sponsored a series of workshops to increase awareness of leading edge technology and innovations in accessing electronic information sources. Now, nine of the leading research-level learned societies -- often those with umbrella responsibilities for other learned societies in their field -- are members of the Information and Communication Commission and represent the mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists, chemists, educational researchers, sociologists, psychologists, biologists and information technologists in the German Association of Engineers. (The German professional librarian societies are not members, as such, of this Commission, but are represented through delegates from libraries in the learned societies and in the future, hopefully, also by the German Association of Documentalists or through the cooperation between the documentalist and librarian professional societies.) The Federal Ministry earmarked 60 Million German Marks for projects within the framework of the German Digital Libraries Program in two phases over the next six years. The scope for the German Digital Libraries Program was announced in a press release in April 1997,4 and the first call for preliminary projects and expressions of interest in participation ended in July 1997. The Consortium members were suggested by the Information and Communication Commission of the Learned Societies (IuK Kommission), by key scientific research funding agencies in the German government, and by the publishers themselves. The first official meeting of the participants took place on December 1, 1997, at the Deutsche Bibliothek, located in the renowned center of German book trade, Frankfurt, thus documenting the active role and participation of libraries and publishers. In contrast to the Digital Libraries Project of the National Science Foundation in the United States, the German Digital Libraries project is based on furthering cooperation with universities, scientific publishing houses (including various international publishers), book dealers, and special subject information centers, as well as academic and research libraries. The goals of the German Digital Libraries Project are to achieve: 1) efficient access to world wide information; 2) directly from the scientist's desktop; 3) while providing the organization for and stimulating fundamental structural changes in the information and communication process of the scientific community.
