    Abstract
    Library OPACs have long been the gateways between users and information. They present to users the achievements of library automation, and are the most widely available automated retrieval systems and the first that many user encounter. Current trends in OPAC design are toward a user oriented, individual information service which can meet the different needs of users with a variety of background and interests. Compared with the rather inactive, short term and general information service of conventional systems, this type of system focuses on active, long term and personalized service. Proposes a framework for the design of such an OPAC and discusses some recent developments in personalized information service

    Abstract
    Since most popular commercialized systems for full text retrieval are designed with full text scaning and Boolean logic query mode, these systems use an oversimplified relationship between the indexing form and the content of document. Reports the use of Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to develop a Cluster Indexing Model (CIM) based on a Vector Space Model (VSM) in orer to explore the index theory of cluster indexing for chinese full text documents. From a series of experiments, it was found that the indexing performance of CIM is better than traditional VSM, and has almost equivalent effectiveness of the authority control of index terms

    Abstract
    Describes a study aimed at exploring possible applications for PRECIS for indexing Chinese documents, generating Chinses subject indexes, and for facilitating online information retrieval. A random sample of 498 Chinese subject indexing strings was taken from the Index to Chinese Periodical Literature and a comprehensive test of the PRECIS role operators was carried out. 18 problem areas were isolated and grouped into 8 categories. These problems stemmed mainly from syntactic differences between English and Chinese. Suggests modifications of and additions to the existing role operators and the accompanying software to overcome these problems

    Abstract
    Defines information seeking as using information to satisfy one's needs. Traditionally, quantitative research has focused on objective information and the external behaviour of users, while the alternative paradigm in user studies focused on subjective information and the internal cognition of users. In the context of the paradigm shift, scholars are calling for supplementing quantitative approaches with qualitative approaches. Reviews the literature and presents theories and empirical studies on information needs and information seeking behaviour

    Abstract
    Metadata is a resource which can assist the information retrieval of digital documents on the Internet. In designing a metadata system, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of digital documents, such as the variety of file formats, frequent format transformation and the difficulty of distinguishing between the different versions. Provides a brief analysis of some existing metadata formats, and introduces several pronciples for the future development of cataloguing on the Internet. Briefly describes the Metadata Experimental System (MES) currently under development, and located at the author's homepage

    Abstract
    In a prototype model of a computer aided Chinese classification system, 4 different modules were included: the keyword searching type, user's predomination type, expert wizard type and versatile type. These 4 modules work in different ways whilst sharing the same concept. The keyword searching type finds the most suitable category by scanning the keywords of all categories in a database; it is useful for entrance level staff. The user's predomination type allows the user to key in the proper category to size down the number of returning data; the user then picks the best category by browsing the built in keywords. This module is suitable for professional librarians. The expert wizard type actively leads the user to choose the best category one by one. The versatile type is a mixture of the other 3 types

    Abstract
    Automatic keyword extraction is an important and fundamental technology in an advanced information retrieval systems. Briefly compares several major keyword extraction methods, lists their advantages and disadvantages, and reports recent research progress in Taiwan. Also describes the application of a keyword extraction algorithm in an information retrieval system for relevance feedback. Preliminary analysis shows that the error rate of extracting relevant keywords is 18%, and that the precision rate is over 50%. The main disadvantage of this approach is that the extraction results depend on the retrieval results, which in turn depend on the data held by the database. Apart from collecting more data, this problem can be alleviated by the application of a thesaurus constructed by the same keyword extraction algorithm

    Abstract
    In order to test the power of metadata on information retrieval, an experiment was designed and conducted on a group of 7 graduate students using the Dublin Core as the cataloguing metadata. Results show that, on average, the retrieval error rate is only 2.9 per cent for the MES system (http://140.136.85.194), which utilizes the Dublin Core to describe the documents on the World Wide Web, in contrast to 20.7 per cent for the 7 famous search engines including HOTBOT, GAIS, LYCOS, EXCITE, INFOSEEK, YAHOO, and OCTOPUS. The very low error rate indicates that the users can use the information of the Dublin Core to decide whether to retrieve the documents or not

    Abstract
    Attempts to circumscribe 'information' by means of etymology and the semantics of Chinese characters rather than the traditional way, and also to define several other terms related to information. Discusses the characteristics of information and its movement, and reviews some issues about information science. Information science recognizes information and uses it for making decisions and solving problems. Yi-Jeng (the Book of Changes), the oldest book about the world system, not only explains the relationship between human beings and the universe, but also focuses on how to recognize and use information to improve quality of life and avoid calamity. Derives some conclusions useful for the development of information science from Yi-Jeng. Also discusses the chaotic state caused by rapidly developing networks without a precise concept. Considers some desirable characteristics for the design of information service systems

    Abstract
    Capability and capacity in handling the topology of a special subject information field has made infomapping techniques and systems instrumental in information searching, monitoring and navigation. Applying the technique to communication networks can reveal the intellectual relationships among junior and senior researchers in the field, and can also show the continuing popularity of a particular researcher's citation record over time. Reports the use of Java in making a cartoon series of chronological maps based on citation analysis on a special subject field (nutrition and dietetics). The map making methods, Java programming, and statistical analysis of the map data are presented, and the advantage and significance of constructing Java maps in enhancing information retrieval discussed. Further technical developments in applying VRML to link together a 3-D spatial indexing system and a 2-D HTML Web site are suggested

    Abstract
    In remembrance of Magda Heiner-Freiling who dedicated her professional efforts in promoting the sharing of subject access among world libraries, we sincerely wish to add our contribution to the endeavor she started and dreamed of finishing by writing this paper in Chinese, introducing SKOS and discussing its applications in transferring the largest controlled vocabulary in China, the Chinese Classified Thesaurus (CCT), into a SKOS-based knowledge organization system (KOS). The paper discusses the conceptual models of concept-based and term-based systems, the converting solutions of CCT, and the potential usage of a KOS registry built on SKOS and other Web-based protocols and technologies.
