Abstract

The objective of the European Library (TEL) project [TEL] was to set up a co-operative framework and specify a system for integrated access to the major collections of the European national libraries. This has been achieved by successfully applying a new approach for search and retrieval via URLs (SRU) [ZiNG] combined with a new metadata paradigm. One aim of the TEL approach is to have a low barrier of entry into TEL, and this has driven our choice for the technical solution described here. The solution comprises portal and client functionality running completely in the browser, resulting in a low implementation barrier and maximum scalability, as well as giving users control over the search interface and what collections to search. In this article we will describe, step by step, the development of both the search and retrieval architecture and the metadata infrastructure in the European Library project. We will show that SRU is a good alternative to the Z39.50 protocol and can be implemented without losing investments in current Z39.50 implementations. The metadata model being used by TEL is a Dublin Core Application Profile, and we have taken into account that functional requirements will change over time and therefore the metadata model will need to be able to evolve in a controlled way. We make this possible by means of a central metadata registry containing all characteristics of the metadata in TEL. Finally, we provide two scenarios to show how the TEL concept can be developed and extended, with applications capable of increasing their functionality by "learning" new metadata or protocol options.

Abstract

Purpose - Biodiversity resources are inevitably digital and stored in a wide variety of formats by researchers or stakeholders. In Malaysia, although digitizing biodiversity data has long been stressed, the interoperability of the biodiversity data is still an issue that requires attention. This is because, when data are shared, the question of copyright occurs, creating a setback among researchers wanting to promote or share data through online presentations. To solve this, the aim is to present an approach to integrate data through wrapping of datasets stored in relational databases located on networked platforms. Design/methodology/approach - The approach uses tools such as XML, PHP, ASP and HTML to integrate distributed databases in heterogeneous formats. Five current database integration systems were reviewed and all of them have common attributes such as query-oriented, using a mediator-based approach and integrating a structured data model. These common attributes were also adopted in the proposed solution. Distributed Generic Information Retrieval (DiGIR) was used as a model in designing the proposed solution. Findings - A new database integration system was developed, which is user-friendly and simple with common attributes found in current integration systems.

Abstract

Effective retrieval in a distributed environment is an important but difficult problem. Lack of effectiveness appears to have two major causes. First, existing collection selection algorithms do not work well on heterogeneous collections. Second, relevant documents are scattered over many collections and searching a few collections misses many relevant documents. We propose a topic-oriented approach to distributed retrieval. With this approach, we structure the document set of a distributed retrieval environment around a set of topics. Retrieval for a query involves first selecting the right topics for the query and then dispatching the search process to collections that contain such topics. The content of a topic is characterized by a language model. In environments where the labeling of documents by topics is unavailable, document clustering is employed for topic identification. Based on these ideas, three methods are proposed to suit different environments. We show that all three methods improve effectiveness of distributed retrieval

Abstract

A multi-database model of distributed information retrieval is presented, in which people are assumed to have access to many searchable text databases. In such an environment, full-text information retrieval consists of discovering database contents, ranking databases by their expected ability to satisfy the query, searching a small number of databases, and merging results returned by different databases. This paper presents algorithms for each task. It also discusses how to reorganize conventional test collections into multi-database testbeds, and evaluation methodologies for multi-database experiments. A broad and diverse group of experimental results is presented to demonstrate that the algorithms are effective, efficient, robust, and scalable

Abstract

The combination of different text representations and search strategies has become a standard technique for improving the effectiveness of information retrieval. Combination, for example, has been studied extensively in the TREC evaluations and is the basis of the "meta-search" engines used on the Web. This paper examines the development of this technique, including both experimental results and the retrieval models that have been proposed as formal frameworks for combination. We show that combining approaches for information retrieval can be modeled as combining the outputs of multiple classifiers based on one or more representations, and that this simple model can provide explanations for many of the experimental results. We also show that this view of combination is very similar to the inference net model, and that a new approach to retrieval based on language models supports combination and can be integrated with the inference net model

Abstract

How to merge and organise query results retrieved from different resources is one of the key issues in distributed information retrieval. Some previous research and experiments suggest that cluster-based document browsing is more effective than a single merged list. Cluster-based retrieval results presentation is based on the cluster hypothesis, which states that documents that cluster together have a similar relevance to a given query. However, while this hypothesis has been demonstrated to hold in classical information retrieval environments, it has never been fully tested in heterogeneous distributed information retrieval environments. Heterogeneous document representations, the presence of document duplicates, and disparate qualities of retrieval results, are major features of an heterogeneous distributed information retrieval environment that might disrupt the effectiveness of the cluster hypothesis. In this paper we report on an experimental investigation into the validity and effectiveness of the cluster hypothesis in highly heterogeneous distributed information retrieval environments. The results show that although clustering is affected by different retrieval results representations and quality, the cluster hypothesis still holds and that generating hierarchical clusters in highly heterogeneous distributed information retrieval environments is still a very effective way of presenting retrieval results to users.

Abstract

Specifically designed for core units in library automation and information systems, this long awaited new text gives students a comprehensive overview of one of the most critical areas of library operations. Produced by two internationally known scholars, Thomas Kochtanek and Joseph Matthews, this book will enable students to take the lead in managing an immense diversity of information resources and at the same time handle the complexities that information technology brings to the library. Giving important insight into library information systems-from the historical background to the latest technological trends and developments-the book is organized into 14 chapters, each presenting helpful information on such topics as systems design, types of systems, coverage of standards and standards organizations, technology axioms, system selection and implementation, usability of systems, library information systems management, technology trends, digital libraries, and more. New to the acclaimed Library and Information Science Text Series, this book will prove an indispensable resource to students preparing for a career in today's ever-evolving library environment. Complete with charts and illustrations, chapter summaries, suggested print and electronic resources, a glossary of terms, and an index, this text will be of central importance to libraries and library schools everywhere.

Footnote

Though the book definitely meets a need for an up-to-date introduction to library information systems and associated management issues, and the emphasis an management issues means that it will not date too quickly, there is room for improvement. Some topics are described too briefly to be useful, such as customization/personalization, which is covered in a single paragraph, and does not mention recent developments such as the MyLibrary concept. Other topics seem to have only a peripheral connection to the main chapter theme-for example, it is surprising to find a discussion of information literacy at the end of the chapter an system selection and implementation, and the material an personalization/customization is at the end of the discussion of intranets. Despite these comments, 1 would consider using this as a textbook in an introductory course an library automation or information technology, and practitioners who want to upgrade their knowledge of current practices and issues will also find it useful. People who are primarily interested in a specific topic, such as information systems planning or system selection and implementation are likely to find more specialized books such as Planning for Integrated Systems and Technologies: A How-to-Do-It Manual for Librarians by John M. Cohn, Anne L. Kelsey, and Keith Michael Fiels (New York: Neal-Schuman, 2001) more useful."

Abstract

Reports on the work of the ABDUX project to investigate the use of the standardized protocol for the X.500 directory service for searching distributed bibliographic databases. It is a joint project between the Computer Science Department of the University College London, and the Library and Computer Service of Brunel University, UK. Gives a design overview and discusses the implementation phase of the project which involved: enhancements to an X.500 system; implementing user interfaces; and gathering test data for the system. Examines experiences with the system, and assesses why interest in the system has been less than hoped for. Puts forward a model for bibliographic querying which recognises the role of other protocols. Summarizes the main lessons to be drawn from the project

Abstract

Subject-based retrieval in distributed resources is a current problem in online searches for bibliographic references. Building portals to similar resources is only the ferst step, the subsequent navigation via different search interfaces presents certain difficulties. To make retrieval easier it is necessary to adapt these different resources. Potential approaches (standardisation as opposed to "cross-walks") and methods (automated as opposed to intellectual effort) will be discussed. This includes a Brief appraisal of the future of work with multilingual terminology: - The "classical" approach (Multilingual Thesauri), - The "Internet" approach (linking) Recent developments in mono- and multilingual environments will be presented (MACS, CARMEN, Economics Crosswalk).

Abstract

During the 1990s statewide cooperative use of networks in the USA has moved towards providing mainly access to bibliographic and full-text resources not held locally and usually provided by commercial vendors for use by libraries. Describes 3 academic library networks: the University System of Maryland's Library Information Management System serving the information needs of users throughout the state; Georgia's GALILEO (Georgia Library Learning On-Line) which provides a set of electronic resources and services for the 34 colleges and universities of the University System of Georgia; and TexShare in which all 52 libraries from the public educational institutions in Texas participate. Although the development of funding sources, the technical implementations and support, and the management organization differ from state to state, all three reflect an incremental shift towards the electronic library

Abstract

In this position paper we propose a document-centric middleware component called Living Documents to support context-aware information retrieval in distributed communities. A Living Document acts as a micro server for a document which contains computational services, a semi-structured knowledge repository to uniformly store and access context-related information, and finally the document's digital content. Our initial prototype of Living Documents is based an the concept of mobile agents and implemented in Java and XML.

Abstract

Eine wichtige Aufgabe der Informationsverarbeitung als fachbezogene Informatik besteht darin, die neue Entwicklung der Informationstechnologie zu verfolgen, sich damit auseinanderzusetzen, inwieweit diese Entwicklung die Forschung sowie die Anwendung in der Geisteswissenschaft unterstützen kann, und die daraus entstandenen Konzepte zu realisieren. Das im Jahre 1999 veröffentlichte Nachrichtenaustauschprotokoll SOAP (Abkürzung für Simple Object Access Protocol) entstand vor dem Hintergrund der schnellen Entwicklung der Vernetzung besonders des Internets. In den letzten Jahren hat SOAP große Aufmerksamkeit auf sich gezogen, weil man mit SOAP einige Beschränkungen der vorhandenen Techniken überwinden kann und damit die Leistungsfähigkeit der Software sowie Anwendung wesentlich verbessern kann. Ziel der Magisterarbeit liegt darin, einerseits theoretisch über die Möglichkeit des Einsetzens von SOAP in der Bibliotheksanwendung zu untersuchen, andererseits das Ergebnis der theoretischen Untersuchung in die Praxis umzusetzen, d.h. das Konzept eines Bibliotheksanwendungssystems mit dem Einsatz von SOAP zusammenzustellen und es zu realisieren. SOAP ist ein Nachrichtenprotokoll, das die Kommunikationen zwischen entfernten Systemen unterstützt. In der Arbeit wird durch eine theoretische Untersuchung gezeigt, dass SOAP sich besonders gut für die in der stark heterogenen Umgebung wie Internet verteilte Anwendung eignet. Eine der häufig von dem Bibliotheksystem über das Internet angebotenen verteilten Anwendungen ist der verteilte OPAC. Ein verteilter OPAC bietet eine verteilte Suche in mehreren Bibliothekssystemen an. Die meisten bisherigen Bibliothekssysteme realisieren die verteilte Suche vorwiegend mit der Unterstützung des Protokolls Z39.50. Durch die theoretische Untersuchung ist es zu sehen, dass mit dem Einsatz von SOAP einerseits der Arbeitsaufwand in der Realisierung bzw. die Verwaltung des Systems verglichen mit dem Z39.50 reduziert, andererseits die Funktionalität des Systems stark erweitert wird, dass eine Zusammenarbeit des Bibliothekssystems mit den Systemen anderer Bereiche leicht realisiert werden kann. Als praktisches Projekt der Magisterarbeit wird ein System der verteilten OPACs mit SOAP als Nachrichtenaustauschprotokoll entwickelt.

Überblick über die Kapitel In Kapitel l. Simple Object Acces Protocol (SOAP) wird zuerst der Hintergrund der Entwicklung von SOAP untersucht. Mit einer kurzen Vorstellung der Entwicklung von verteilter Anwendung bis Web Service wird die Situation dargestellt, dass die vorhandenen Standards wie CORBA, DCOM sowie RMI die Ansprüche der stark heterogenen Umgebung wie Internet nicht erfüllen können. Um diesen Mangel der vorhandenen Lösungen zu überwinden, wurde SOAP mit dem Ziel der Unterstützung des plattformenunabhängigen Nachrichtenaustausches entwickelt. Anschließend wird der Begriff Web Service eingeführt, mit dem SOAP stark verbunden ist. Dabei wird über die Möglichkeit des Einsatzes von SOAP in den Bibliothekssystemen diskutiert. Schließlich wird SOAP durch unterschiedliche Aspekte wie SOAP und XML, SOAP Nachricht, Fehler Behandlung usw. untersucht. In Kapitel 3. Die durch Internet erweiterte Bibliothek wird die Beziehung zwischen dem Internet und der Bibliothek aus zwei Sichten, die verteilte Suche und Metadaten, beschrieben. In dem Teil über die verteilte Suche wird vorwiegend das Protokoll Z39.50, womit die bisherigen verteilten Bibliothekssysteme realisiert werden, dargestellt. In dem Teil der Metadaten wird sich zuerst mit der Bedeutung der Metadaten für die Bibliothek sowie für das Internet auseinandergesetzt. Anschließend wird über die existierenden Probleme der Metadaten und die Lösungsmöglichkeiten diskutiert. Schließlich wird eine Untersuchung einiger Metadatenstandards mit Dublin Core als Schwerpunkt durchgeführt, weil Dublin Core zur Zeit der Standard für das Internet und aus diesem Grund auch fir die Internet bezogene Bibliotheksanwendung wichtig ist. In Kapitel 4. Die Entwicklung eines verteilten Bibliothekssystems mit dem SOAP-Einsatz wird die Entwicklung des praktischen Projektes beschrieben. Zuerst wird das Ziel und die Funktionalität des Projektes festgelegt, dass ein verteiltes Bibliothekssystem mit dem Einsatz von SOAP entwickelt wird und das System eine verteilte Suche auf mehreren entfernten Bibliotheksdatenbanken ermöglichen soll. Anschließend wird beschrieben, in welchen Schritten das System entworfen und implementiert wird. Mit dem ersten System kann man nur in einer Datenbank suchen, während man mit dem zweiten System parallel in zwei Datenbanken suchen kann. Dublin Core wird als der Metadatenstandard im gesamten System eingesetzt. Die im System verwendeten Softwarepakete und die Softwarestandardtechnologien werden vorgestellt. Es wird untersucht, wie einzelne technische Komponenten zusammenarbeiten. Schließlich wird die Entwicklung der einzelnen Programmmodule und die Kommunikation zwischen ihnen beschrieben.
