- Abstract
- Gives an overview of the role of ambiguity in measurement and explores analytical methods for exploring its impact. Argues that certain functional forms are more resilient than others to problems of ambiguity, and that these should be preferred when ambiguity is a serious concern

- Abstract
- Because of concerns about the privacy of its patrons, it is common for libraries to systematically destroy historic information about book circulation. I argue that this information has great potential value for improving retrieval effectiveness, and give 2 examples of how this information can be used. Further, I show how use-data can be preserved and exploited while still giving a high degree of protection for patron privacy. The methods are analyzed and formulae are derived indicating the tradeoff between retrieval effectiveness and security. A second, contrasting application, indicating how to introduce 'fingerprints' into digitized audio-visual material in a tamper-resistant manner, is described

- Abstract
- Using novel informatics techniques to process the Output of Medline searches, we have generated a list of viruses that may have the potential for development as weapons. Our findings are intended as a guide to the virus literature to support further studies that might then lead to appropriate defense and public health measures. This article stresses methods that are more generally relevant to information science. Initial Medline searches identified two kinds of virus literaturesthe first concerning the genetic aspects of virulence, and the second concerning the transmission of viral diseases. Both literatures taken together are of central importance in identifying research relevant to the development of biological weapons. Yet, the two literatures had very few articles in common. We downloaded the Medline records for each of the two literatures and used a computer to extract all virus terms common to both. The fact that the resulting virus list includes most of an earlier independently published list of viruses considered by military experts to have the highest threat as potential biological weapons served as a test of the method; the test outcome showed a high degree of statistical significance, thus supporting an inference that the new viruses an the list share certain important characteristics with viruses of known biological
