    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
    Information subject gateways provide targeted discovery services for their users, giving access to Web resources selected according to quality and subject coverage criteria. Information gateways recognise that they must collaborate on a wide range of issues relating to content to ensure continued success. This report is informed by discussion of content activities at the 1999 Imesh Workshop. The author considers the implications for subject based gateways of co-operation regarding coverage policy, creation of metadata, and provision of searching and browsing across services. Other possibilities for co-operation include working more closely with information providers, and diclosure of information in joint metadata registries

    Abstract
    The BAER Web Resources Group was charged in October 1999 with defining and describing the parameters of electronic resources that do not clearly belong to the categories being defined by the BAER Digital Group or the BAER Electronic Journals Group. After some difficulty identifying precisely which resources fell under the Group's charge, we finally named the following types of resources for our consideration: web sites, electronic texts, indexes, databases and abstracts, online reference resources, and networked and non-networked CD-ROMs. Electronic resources are a vast and growing collection that touch nearly every department within the Library. It is unrealistic to think one department can effectively administer all aspects of the collection. The Group then began to focus on the concern of bibliographic access to these varied resources, and to define parameters for handling or processing them within the Library. Some key elements became evident as the work progressed. * Selection process of resources to be acquired for the collection * Duplication of effort * Use of CORC * Resource Finder design * Maintenance of Resource Finder * CD-ROMs not networked * Communications * Voyager search limitations. An unexpected collaboration with the Web Development Committee on the Resource Finder helped to steer the Group to more detailed descriptions of bibliographic access. This collaboration included development of data elements for the Resource Finder database, and some discussions on Library staff processing of the resources. The Web Resources Group invited expert testimony to help the Group broaden its view to envision public use of the resources and discuss concerns related to technical services processing. The first testimony came from members of the Resource Finder Committee. Some background information on the Web Development Resource Finder Committee was shared. The second testimony was from librarians who select electronic texts. Three main themes were addressed: accessing CD-ROMs; the issue of including non-networked CD-ROMs in the Resource Finder; and, some special concerns about electronic texts. The third testimony came from librarians who select indexes and abstracts and also provide Reference services. Appendices to this report include minutes of the meetings with the experts (Appendix A), a list of proposed data elements to be used in the Resource Finder (Appendix B), and recommendations made to the Resource Finder Committee (Appendix C). Below are summaries of the key elements.

    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.

Das soll sich jetzt ändern: Das vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) und von der Deutschen; Forschungsgemeinsehaft (DFG) geförderte Internetportal "vascoda", das nach dem Willen seiner Initiatoren auch Grundbaustein für die "Digitale Bibliothek Deutschland" sein soll, will Forschern Zugang zu wissenschaftlicher Information unterschiedlichster Fachrichtungen und unterschiedlichster Formate bieten. Das ist bundesweit in dieser Form ebenso einzigartig wie die Tatsache, dass die an vascoda angeschlossenen Datenbanken ausschließlich ;,geprüfte" Informationen liefern sollen: "Fachbibliothekare und Fachwissenschaftler der Anbieter, die sich unter dem vascoda-Dach zusammengeschlossen haben, prüfen, welche Texte vdrfügbar gemacht werden", sagt Christine Burblies von der vascoda-Geschäftsstelle in Hannover. "So können wir gewährleisten, dass die Informationen wissenschaftlichen Ansprüchen genügen." Das macht dann auch den wesentlichen Unterschied zu anderen Suchmaschinen aus: Die Suchmaske des Wissenschaftsportals ist zwar ähnlich einfach zu handhaben wie die Internet-Suchmaschine Google - vascoda verirrt sich aber nicht im World Wide Web. Und während andere Internet-Suchmaschinen nicht den Zugriff auf das so genannte "invisible web" bieten, also beispielsweise auf Bibliothekskataloge, ermöglicht vascoda auch den Zugriff auf dieses unsichtbare Netz. Das Wissenschaftsportal ist unentgeltlich nutzbar, und auch ein Großteil der Informationen ist kostenlos zu beziehen. Es sind aber auch kostenpflichtige Informationen verfügbar - zum Beispiel aus Verlagsangeboten und kommerziellen Datenbanken. Wer Informationen etwa zu soziologischen Fragen sucht, landet sicher auch auf den Internetseiten des Instituts für Soziologie in Darmstadt (www.ifs.tu-darmstadt.de/forsch.htm), das ebenso zu den vascoda-Anbietern gehört wie das Deutsche Institut für Internationale Pädagogik (DIPF) in Frankfurt (www.dipfde/index_1024.htm). In vascoda eingebunden sind zur Zeit 23 virtuelle Fachbibliotheken (ViFas), die vier großen Informationsverbünde EconDoc (Wirtschaft), GetInfo (Naturwissenschaften und Technik), infoconnex (Pädagogik, Sozialwissenschaften, Psychologie) und Medizin sowie die Elektronische Zeitschriftenbibliothek (EZB), ein kooperativer Service von 209 Bibliotheken zur Bereitstellung von elektronischen Zeitschriften, -die im Internet publiziert werden. "Wir planen überdies die Erweiterung um das Fach Germanistik, und wenn es soweit ist, wird die Stadt- und Universitätsbibliothek Frankfurt diesen Service bereitstellen", sagt Burblies."

    Abstract
    Digital Libraries currently face the challenge of integrating many different types of research information (e.g. publications, primary data, expert's profiles, institutional profiles, project information etc.) according to their scientific users' needs. To date no general, integrated model for knowledge organization and retrieval in Digital Libraries exists. This causes the problem of structural and semantic heterogeneity due to the wide range of metadata standards, indexing vocabularies and indexing approaches used for different types of information. The research presented in this paper focuses on areas in which activities are being undertaken in the field of Digital Libraries in order to treat semantic interoperability problems. We present a model for the integrated retrieval of factual and textual data which combines multiple approaches to semantic interoperability und sets them into context. Embedded in the research cycle, traditional content indexing methods for publications meet the newer, but rarely used ontology-based approaches which seem to be better suited for representing complex information like the one contained in survey data. The benefits of our model are (1) easy re-use of available knowledge organisation systems and (2) reduced efforts for domain modelling with ontologies.

    Abstract
    With the development of the World Wide Web, the "information search" has grown to be a significant business sector of a global, competitive and commercial market. Powerful players have entered this market, such as commercial internet search engines, information portals, multinational publishers and online content integrators. Will Google, Yahoo or Microsoft be the only portals to global knowledge in 2010? If libraries do not want to become marginalized in a key area of their traditional services, they need to acknowledge the challenges that come with the globalisation of scholarly information, the existence and further growth of the academic internet

    Abstract
    The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative was formed to encourage scholarly communication and the sharing of data among researchers who emphasize the relationships between place, time, and topic in the study of culture and history. In an effort to develop better tools and practices, The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative has sponsored the collaborative development of software for downloading and editing geo-temporal data to create dynamic maps, a clearinghouse of shared datasets accessible through a map-based interface, projects on format and content standards for gazetteers and time period directories, studies to improve geo-temporal aspects in online catalogs, good practice guidelines for preparing e-publications with dynamic geo-temporal displays, and numerous international conferences. The Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI) grew out of discussions among an international group of scholars interested in religious history and area studies. It was established as a unit under the Dean of International and Area Studies at the University of California, Berkeley in 1997. ECAI's mission is to promote an international collaborative effort to transform humanities scholarship through use of the digital environment to share data and by placing greater emphasis on the notions of place and time. Professor Lewis Lancaster is the Director. Professor Michael Buckland, with a library and information studies background, joined the effort as Co-Director in 2000. Assistance from the Lilly Foundation, the California Digital Library (University of California), and other sources has enabled ECAI to nurture a community; to develop a catalog ("clearinghouse") of Internet-accessible georeferenced resources; to support the development of software for obtaining, editing, manipulating, and dynamically visualizing geo-temporally encoded data; and to undertake research and development projects as needs and resources determine. Several hundred scholars worldwide, from a wide range of disciplines, are informally affiliated with ECAI, all interested in shared use of historical and cultural data. The Academia Sinica (Taiwan), The British Library, and the Arts and Humanities Data Service (UK) are among the well-known affiliates. However, ECAI mainly comprises individual scholars and small teams working on their own small projects on a very wide range of cultural, social, and historical topics. Numerous specialist committees have been fostering standardization and collaboration by area and by themes such as trade-routes, cities, religion, and sacred sites.

    Abstract
    The Europeana Data Model (EDM) is a new approach towards structuring and representing data delivered to Europeana by the various contributing cultural heritage institutions. The model aims at greater expressivity and flexibility in comparison to the current Europeana Semantic Elements (ESE), which it is destined to replace. The design principles underlying the EDM are based on the core principles and best practices of the Semantic Web and Linked Data efforts to which Europeana wants to contribute. The model itself builds upon established standards like RDF(S), OAI-ORE, SKOS, and Dublin Core. It acts as a common top-level ontology which retains original data models and information perspectives while at the same time enabling interoperability. The paper elaborates on the aforementioned aspects and the design principles which drove the development of the EDM.

    Abstract
    From 4 to 6 June 2003 the 2nd European Library Seminar / 3rd Gabriel Workshop was held at the Biblioteca Nacional in Lisbon, Portugal. 62 librarians and webmasters from 20 countries participated in the workshop, mainly Gabriel contacts but also quite a number of librarians from Portugal. Since its foundation in 1995 Gabriel, the world wide web service of the European national libraries, has established itself as the official network service of the Conference of European National Librarians (CENL) and has undergone a continuous development. The Gabriel website has been redesigned and restructured, and it was relaunched in summer 2002. At present, 41 libraries from 39 European countries are represented in Gabriel. Gabriel offers access to varied information sources and numerous online-catalogues and Services of the European national libraries. Gabriel is the only trans-European library service.

    Abstract
    Libraries have always been an inspiration for the standards and technologies developed by semantic web activities. However, except for the Dublin Core specification, semantic web and social networking technologies have not been widely adopted and further developed by major digital library initiatives and projects. Yet semantic technologies offer a new level of flexibility, interoperability, and relationships for digital repositories. Kruk and McDaniel present semantic web-related aspects of current digital library activities, and introduce their functionality; they show examples ranging from general architectural descriptions to detailed usages of specific ontologies, and thus stimulate the awareness of researchers, engineers, and potential users of those technologies. Their presentation is completed by chapters on existing prototype systems such as JeromeDL, BRICKS, and Greenstone, as well as a look into the possible future of semantic digital libraries. This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in areas like digital libraries, the semantic web, social networks, and information retrieval. This audience will benefit from detailed descriptions of both today's possibilities and also the shortcomings of applying semantic web technologies to large digital repositories of often unstructured data.

    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
    Virtuelle Quellen zur Kunst-Erschließung und Recherchewar das Thema eines Workshops, der am 16. Oktober 2003 in der Sächsischen Landesbibliothek - Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB) veranstaltet wurde. Anliegen war die Präsentation des DFG-geförderten Projektes ViFaArtVirtuelle Fachbibliothek Gegenwartskunst. Im Folgenden wird dieses Projekt näher vorgestellt. Schwerpunkt der Darstellung wird der hierbei entwickelte Katalog von Webseiten bzw. Internetquellen sein (Art-Guide). Die Auseinandersetzung mit Internetquellen und ihre Nutzung für die Informationsgewinnung ist auch für die Kunstwissenschaft zum aktuellen Thema geworden. Eine Hauptaufgabe des World Wide Web liegt neben dem schnellen und direkten Informationsaustausch in der Vermittlung von Information - einem Hauptanliegen wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken überhaupt. Somit rückt die Problematik auch immer näher an den Aufgabenkreis von Bibliotheken heran. Es stellen sich Fragen wie: Welche Art von Informationen liegen im Web bereit, sind sie vertrauenswürdig, wie kann man sie nutzen und vor allem: wie sind sie zu finden? Seit 2000 wird an der SLUB eine Virtuelle Fachbibliothek zur Gegenwartskunst projektiert: ViFaArt. Das Projekt ist Partner von Vascoda, dem interdisziplinären Internetportal für wissenschaftliche Information in Deutschland. Unter http:// www.vascoda.de/sind Online- und Print-Informationen von derzeit über 20 Virtuellen Fachbibliotheken, 4 Informationsverbünden und der Elektronischen Zeitschriftenbibliothek (EZB) abrufbar. Anfang des nächsten Jahres wird auch ViFaArt den Katalog der Internetquellen (Art-Guide, vgl. unten) als Datenbank dort einbringen. Eine Metasuche über Vascoda wird dann also immer auch alle ArtGuide-Katalogisate berücksichtigen.

    Abstract
    Clearinghouses - or subject gateways - are domain-specific collections of links to resources an the Internet. The links are described with metadata and structured according to a domain-specific subject hierarchy. Users access the information by searching in the metadata or by browsing the subject hierarchy. The standards for metadata vary across existing Clearinghouses and different technologies for storing and accessing the metadata are used. This makes it difficult to distribute the editorial or administrative work involved in maintaining a clearinghouse, or to exchange information with other systems. DBClear is a generic, platform-independent clearinghouse system, whose metadata schema can be adapted to different standards. The data is stored in a relational database. It includes a workflow component to Support distributed maintenance and automation modules for link checking and metadata extraction. The presentation of the clearinghouse an the Web can be modified to allow seamless integration into existing web sites.

    Abstract
    Results of a project focusing on six Web-based collections in education. Our analysis of homegrown classification structures considers three dimensions. "Structure" is described through quantitative data (e.g. Number of main categories, Number of hierarchical levels, etc.). "Logic" concentrates on two aspects of the subdividing process: division principle, and type of hierarchical relation. "Semantics" relates to concepts and their representation in the form of terms. In our sample, the classification structures are hierarchical, not overly complex and not very specific. The choice, arrangement and sequence of classes are logical. Conceptual and terminological inconsistencies are due to significant gaps in conceptual coverage and lack of terminological control.

    Abstract
    Im Artikel werden laufende Arbeiten und Ergebnisse der Forschergruppe Wissensmanagement beschrieben. Diese entstanden vor allem durch die am Lehrstuhl Wissensmanagement angesiedelten Projekte Europeana v2.0, Digitised Manuscripts to Europeana (DM2E) sowie von Teilprojekten des vor kurzem gestarteten DFG-Exzellenzclusters Bild Wissen Gestaltung. Die Projekte befassen sich mit Spezialisierungen des Europeana Data Model, der Umwandlung von Metadaten in RDF und der automatisierten und nutzerbasierten semantischen Anreicherung dieser Daten auf Basis eigens entwickelter oder modifizierter Anwendungen sowie der Modellierung von Forschungsaktivitäten, welche derzeit auf die digitale Geisteswissenschaft zugeschnitten ist. Allen Projekten gemeinsam ist die konzeptionelle oder technische Modellierung von Informationsentitäten oder Nutzeraktivitäten, welche am Ende im Linked Data Web repräsentiert werden.

    Content
    ""Das Ehrenamt", schreibt Wikipedia, "bezeichnet ein öffentliches unbezahltes Amt, das durch soziale Anerkennung vergolten wird." Später heißt es weiter in eigener Sache: "Wikipedia wird zum größten Teil ehrenamtlich geleistet und stellt so eine neue Form von bürgerschaftlichem Engagement dar." Neu und unerwartet klingt das zunächst in der Tat: Das erfolgreichste Onlineprojekt seiner Art lebt nicht von den Millionen eines internationalen Konzerns, sondern dank der unentgeltlichen Arbeit seiner Nutzer. Steht das Internet doch in den Augen vieler vor allem für Kommerz und windige Geschäfte. Doch Wikipedia ist kein Einzelfall. Es gibt weitere Projekte im Internet, die in ihrer Qualität rein kommerziell kaum realisierbar sein dürften. Da ist etwa das "Open Directory" - nicht weniger als der Versuch, dem Internet ein Inhaltsverzeichnis zu geben. Ähnliche Kataloge professioneller Anbieter sind oft veraltet; zunehmend nehmen sie Adressen gegen Bezahlung vorrangig auf - was die Listen-Unabhängigkeit in Frage stellt. Beim "Open Directory" fließt kein Geld. Um die Einträge kümmern sich etwa 68.000 ehrenamtliche Editoren - eine Redaktionsstärke, die sich selbst finanzstarke Unternehmen kaum werden leisten wollen. Mehr als 400 Webseiten übernehmen den Katalog - unter anderem die bekannteste aller Web-Suchmaschinen in der Rubrik "Google Verzeichnis". Gegenseitiger Austausch und Hilfe - das macht entgegen mancher Wahrnehmung schon immer den Reiz des internets aus. Denn das Medium bringt Interessierte selbst für ungewöhnliche Vorlieben zusammen. Das geschieht oft abseits des bunten World Wide Web, etwa in Mail-Verteilerlisten oder den kaum bekannten Foren des Usenet. Sie leben von Debatten, Fragen und Antworten. Und sammeln erstaunliches Fachwissen - mal auf nationaler, mal auf internationaler Ebene. Google bietet einen Einblick in diese Welt unter groups.google.de. Freiwillig zusammen an einer gemeinsamen Sache arbeiten - das ist auch das Prinzip von Open-Source-Software, als deren prominenteste Vertreterin das Betriebssystem Linux gilt. Derartige Programme stehen unter bestimmten Bedingungen frei zur Verfügung. Den Aktiven ist die soziale Anerkennung sicher, von der Wikipedia spricht. Und manchmal nicht nur die. Hier und da wird aus dem Ehrenamt ein bezahlter Job - beispielsweise wenn es darum geht, Computersysteme zu betreuen, die mit der freien Software laufen."

    Footnote
    Aber auch die Library of Congress, so zitiert Rösch, hat im Jahr 2000 dargelegt, dass heute keine einzelne Bibliothek mehr in der Lage ist, dass Wissenschaftssystem komplett mit der benötigten Information zu versorgen. Nur ein funktional differenziertes System kann dies leisten. Ansätze dazu sieht Rösch vor allem in Formen arbeitsteiliger Bibliothekskooperation wie Global Resources Network, JSTOR, Portico, CLOCKSS oder SPARC und bescheinigt den amerikanischen Verbänden, dass sie mit Energie und Erfolg den Wandel zum funktional differenzierten System befördern. Ausführlich beschreibt der Autor die Anforderungen, die seitens der Wissenschaft an ihre Informationslogistik gestellt werden. Hier behandelt er gründlich den »Atkins-Report« von 2003 und die nachfolgenden Studien zur Cyberinfrastructure wie den »Cultural Commonwealth Report«. Bemerkenswert ist, mit welcher Klarheit bei aller Knappheit der Autor diese Entwicklungen kennzeichnet und analytisch einordnet. Er hält folgende Merkmale dieses Umbruchs in der wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation fest: - Primat der Online-Quellen und Beschleunigung - Interdisziplinarität, Kollaboration, Internationalisierung - Mengenwachstum und Informationsüberflutung - wachsende Bedeutung informeller Kommunikationsformen und nachlassende Unterscheidbarkeit von institutionell formalisierten Kommunikationsformen (Strukturverlust der Kommunikation) - Nutzung von Datenbank- und Retrievaltechnologie - Data-Mining, Aufwertung und exponentielle Vermehrung wissenschaftlicher Primärdaten - Selbst-Archivierung und Open Access - Multimedialität. Wertvoll in diesem Zusammenhang ist, dass Rösch die Tatsache diskutiert, dass Open-Access-Publikationen bei Berufungen von Professoren teilweise einfach ignoriert werden und wie sie mittels informetrischer Ansätze und Web-2.0-Funktionalitäten in formalisierte Bewertungen eingehen können.

    Abstract
    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to report an investigation into the ways in which Canadian digital library collections have incorporated knowledge organization systems into their search interfaces. Design/methodology/approach - A combination of data-gathering techniques was used. These were as follows: a review of the literature related to the application of knowledge organization systems, deep scanning of Canadian governmental and academic institutions web sites on the web, identify and contact researchers in the area of knowledge organization, and identify and contact people in the governmental organizations who are involved in knowledge organization and information management. Findings - A total of 33 digital collections were identified that have made use of some type of knowledge organization system. Thesauri, subject heading lists and classification schemes were the widely used knowledge organization systems in the surveyed Canadian digital library collections. Research limitations/implications - The target population for this research was limited to governmental and academic digital library collections. Practical implications - An evaluation of the knowledge organization systems interfaces showed that searching, browsing and navigation facilities as well as bilingual features call for improvements. Originality/value - This research contributes to the following areas: digital libraries, knowledge organization systems and services and search interface design.
