(2009)In order to perform long-term digital preservation it is necessary to be (i) understand the technology of the material being stored, (ii) be able to decide whether this technology is obsolete (and, if so, what to do about ... -
Adding Quality-Awareness to Evaluate Migration Web-Services and Remote Emulation for Digital Preservation
(2009)Digital libraries are increasingly relying on distributed services to support increasingly complex tasks such as retrieval or preservation. While there is a growing body of services for migrating digital objects into safer ... -
Analysis of Sophisticated Visualization Techniques for Visualizing and Navigating Information Retrieval Result Lists - A Pre Design Evaluation
(2009)Especially for complex search strategies interactive information visualization (IVIZ) techniques can improve information retrieval (IR) system user interfaces. Based on comparative quantitative and qualitative assessments ... -
Annotation Search: the FAST Way
(2009)This paper discusses how annotations can be exploited to develop information access and retrieval algorithms that take them into account. The paper proposes a general framework for developing such algorithms that specifically ... -
Building Standardized Digital Collections: resCarta Tools, a Demo
(2009)ResCarta Tools are a suite of open source software applications which can assist in the creation of standardized digital objects. ResCarta Tools are open and modular in their design. Modules for creating digital objects ... -
Chance Encounters in the Digital Library
(2009)While many digital libraries focus on supporting defined tasks that require targeted searching, there is potential for enabling serendipitous discovery that can serve multiple purposes from aiding with the targeted search ... -
Collaborative Ownership in Cross-Cultural Educational Digital Library Design

A Compressed Self-indexed Representation of XML Documents
(2009)This paper presents a structure we call XML Wavelet Tree (XWT) to represent any XML document in a compressed and self-indexed form. Therefore, any query or procedure that could be performed over the original document can ... -
A Concept for Using Combined Multimodal Queries in Digital Music Libraries
(2009)In this paper, we propose a concept for using combined multimodal queries in the context of digital music libraries. Whereas usual mechanisms for content-based music retrieval only consider a single query mode, such as ... -
Conceptual Discovery of Educational Resources through Learning Objectives
(2009)This poster reports on current work with the NSF-funded Achievement Standards Network (ASN) to support discovery of educational resources in digital libraries using conceptual graphs of officially promulgated achievement standards ... -
