Abstract

Discusses indexing methods for moving graphical images and suggests the use of the new indexing language, the Moving Picture Description Language (MPDL) which has the following 7 frames: subject, time, location, object, characteristics, actions, and sensibility. MPDL allows indexers to assign one or more indexing terms to each frame. The retrieval experiment used 110 video images obtained from television news indexed by MPDL and other indexing methods and revealed that MPDL was the superior method. Suggests that MPDL presents many opportunities for improving the indexing and retrieval of the moving graphical image

Abstract

Information retrieval functions in digital libraries have a different context from those which apply to searching commercial databases or OPACs. Different methods of browsing in this context are described, but the retrieval function should also include ordinary Boolean searching. Conversion of printed materials to electronic format using OCR can result in errors, which may cause problems for keyword searching. The n-gram method of approximate or fuzzy matching to reduce this problem is described

Abstract

Reports a survey conducted in April 1997 of 136 Japanese WWW and Telnet OPACs from the persepctive of their functions and user interfaces. These included: types of searchable files; access points; kinds of displays; login commands; search methods; Boolean operation; help functions; search history; and browsing of indexed terms. Results indicate a sharp rise in the number of WWW OPACs and problems with the provision of functions and user interfaces by Japanese WWW OPACs

Abstract

Considers classification systems from a structural point of view. Distinguishes between 2 kinds of methods of categorization of classification systems: the first categorized by structure, either hierarchical or multidimensional; and the second by style of expression, either enumerative or sythetic. Identifies 4 leading classification systems according to their structures: DDC, LCC, UDC and Colon Classification. Focuses on DDC referring to 2 interpretatives of its structure, one of which is hierarchical and the other is partially multidimensional. Also relates this to the matter of interpretation of the notation '0', interpreted in one instance as 'generalities', and in another as 'coordination sign'

Abstract

The Nippon Decimal Classification (NDC) system, extensively used in Japanese libraries, was devised in 1929. It is difficult to use NDC to classify world literature, such as fiction in English by non American, non British writers. This is not necessarily straightforward in other classification schemes but a survey of 40 Japanese university libraries, of which 24 responded, showed remarkable inconsistencies in the treatment of 22 world literature authors. NDC clearly needs updating to deal with this problem
