- Abstract
- Reports on the findings of the major study, carried out by the Royal Society, etc. and prompted by the concern felt about the increasing signs of strain in the scientific, technical and medical information systems (STM) and the consequences for technical research. The report is a follow up to the earlier study (BLRDD report 5626) with the aim of covering the trends which have developed since the earlier report was published (online information retrieval, electronic networks, CD-ROM etc.). The study covers: the nature of the UK scientific, technical and medical information system; users of the STM information system; the changing role of libraries and librarians with regard to periodicals, books and other services; economic aspects of the STM information system (research libraries, primary publishing, secondary publishing, and value of scientific research); economic aspects of the STM information system, and perceived problems and potential changes with regard to primary periodicals, electronic periodicals, user interaction, and funding of the services. The data derived from the user survey and the library survey are published in full with analysis. Presents the conclusions and recommendations arising from the study

- Abstract
- RDA provides a set of guidelines and instructions on formulating data to support resource discovery. The data created using RDA to describe a resource are designed to assist users performing the following tasks: find-i.e., to find resources that correspond to the user's stated search criteria: identify-i.e., to confirm that the resource described corresponds to the resource sought, or to distinguish between two or more resources with similar characteristics select-i.e., to select a resource that is appropriate to the user's needs obtain-i.e., to acquire or access the resource described. The data created using RDA to describe an entity associated with a resource (a person, family, corporate body, concept, etc.) are designed to assist users performing the following tasks: find-i.e., to find information on that entity and on resources associated with the entity identify-i.e., to confirm that the entity described corresponds to the entity sought, or to distinguish between two or more entities with similar names, etc. clarify-i.e., to clarify the relationship between two or more such entities, or to clarify the relationship between the entity described and a name by which that entity is known understand-i.e., to understand why a particular name or title, or form of name or title, has been chosen as the preferred name or title for the entity.

- Abstract
- Der Arbeitsbericht befasst sich mit den zwei unterschiedlichen Usability Methoden, dem Usability Test und den Usability Inspektionsmethoden. Bei den Usability Inspektionsmethoden wird die Benutzungsschnittstelle durch Ergonomieexperten evaluiert. Diese Methoden umfassen die Heuristische Evaluation, standard inspection und cognitive walkthrough, etc. Der Vorteil dieser Inspektionsmethoden liegt darin, dass sie weniger zeitintensiv und kostengünstiger als ein Usability Test sind. Der Usability Test wird im Gegensatz zu den Usability Inspektionsmethoden mit repräsentativen Versuchspersonen durchgeführt. Er ist ein effizientes Mittel um Benutzungsschnittstellen zu evaluieren oder auf deren Benutzungsfreundlichkeit zu überprüfen. Des weiteren erläutert der Arbeitsbericht die verschiedenen Usability Testmethoden sowie die Basiselemente zur Durchführung eines Usability Tests. Abschließend wird noch auf die Varianzanalyse (Analysis of Variance, ANOVA) als ein statistisches Verfahren zur Überprüfung von Mittelwertsunterschieden näher eingegangen.

- Abstract
- Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a well founded mathematical framework used for conceptual classication and knowledge management. Given a binary table describing a relation between objects and attributes, FCA consists in building a set of concepts organized by a subsumption relation within a concept lattice. Accordingly, FCA requires to transform complex data, e.g. numbers, intervals, graphs, into binary data leading to loss of information and poor interpretability of object classes. In this paper, we propose a pre-processing method producing binary data from complex data taking advantage of similarity between objects. As a result, the concept lattice is composed of classes being maximal sets of pairwise similar objects. This method is based on FCA and on a formalization of similarity as a tolerance relation (reexive and symmetric). It applies to complex object descriptions and especially here to interval data. Moreover, it can be applied to any kind of structured data for which a similarity can be dened (sequences, graphs, etc.). Finally, an application highlights that the resulting concept lattice plays an important role in information fusion problem, as illustrated with a real-world example in agronomy.

- Abstract
- Jede Organisation, sei es in der freien Wirtschaft oder der öffentlichen Verwaltung, nutzt heute Informationssysteme zur effizienten Abwicklung der Geschäftsprozesse. Um Kooperationen zwischen den Organisationen zu ermöglichen, steigt dabei in zunehmendem Maße die Bedeutung organisationsübergreifender und medienbruchfreier Geschäftsprozesse. Grundlage für einen solchen Datenaustausch ist ein Vorgehen, das Fehlinterpretationen und inhaltliche Missverständnisse bei der Verwendung von Begriffen, Datenstrukturen, Schreibkonventionen etc. zu vermeiden hilft und semantische Interoperabilität ermöglicht. Erst die Semantische Interoperabilität gewährleistet einen effizienten organisationsinternen Datenaustausch und eine effiziente Datenintegration mit externen Kooperationsteilnehmern. Die Arbeit an praktikablen Konzepten und Lösungen steht im Zentrum des Arbeitsgebietes »Semantic Interoperability Engineering« (SIE). In diesem Whitepaper werden dafür zentrale Begriffe und Konzepte eingeführt. Sie dienen als Basis für eine weitere Beschäftigung mit dem Thema.

- Abstract
- Reports results of a study of the needs of management researchers in relation to their consumption and use of information. A profile of the management researcher was drawn up based on a questionnaire survey of the views of 404 researchers, mostly at PhD level, studying at 53 different institutions in the UK. Results highlighted the importance of periodicals and the English language orientation of researchers, who appear to place little significance on continental European literature as a contribution to the resolution of their research problems

- Abstract
- Reviews the basic techniques involving genetic algorithms and their application to 2 problems in information retrieval: the generation of equifrequent groups of index terms; and the identification of optimal query and term weights. The algorithm developed for the generation of equifrequent groupings proved to be effective in operation, achieving results comparable with those obtained using a good deterministic algorithm. The algorithm developed for the identification of optimal query and term weighting involves fitness function that is based on full relevance information

- Abstract
- This report constitutes Phase I of a two-part study; a Phase II report will discuss subject cataloging. Phase I is concerned with the materials of a library as individual records (or documents) and as representations of certain works by certain authors--that is, with descriptive, or bibliographic, cataloging. Discussed in the report are (1) the history, role, function, and oblectives .of the author-and-title catalog; (2) problems and principles of descriptive catalogng, including the use and function of "main entry, the principle of authorship, and the process and problems of cataloging print and nonprint materials; (3) organization of the catalog; and (4) potentialities of automation. The considerations inherent in bibliographic cataloging, such as the distinction between the "book" and the "work," are said to be so elemental that they are essential not only to the effective control of library's materials but also to that of the information contained in the materials. Because of the special concern with information, the author includes a discussion of the "Bibliographic Dimensions of Information Control," 'prepared in collaboration with Robert M. Hayes, which also appears in "American Documentation," VOl.201 July 1969, p. 247-252.
