商品描述

Digital libraries (DLs) have evolved since their launch in 1991 into an important type of information system, with widespread application. This volume advances that trend further by describing new research and development in the DL field that builds upon the 5S (Societies, Scenarios, Spaces, Structures, Streams) framework, which is discussed in three other DL volumes in this series.While the 5S framework may be used to describe many types of information systems, and is likely to have even broader utility and appeal, we focus here on digital libraries.

Drawing upon six (Akbar, Kozievitch, Leidig, Li, Murthy, Park) completed and two (Chen, Fouh) in-process dissertations, as well as the efforts of collaborating researchers, and scores of related publications, presentations, tutorials, and reports, this book demonstrates the applicability of 5S in five digital library application areas, that also have importance in the context of the WWW, Web 2.0, and innovative information systems. By integrating surveys of the state-of-the-art, newresearch, connections with formalization, case studies, and exercises/projects, this book can serve as a textbook for those interested in computing, information, and/or library science.

Chapter 1 focuses on images, explaining how they connect with information retrieval, in the context of CBIR systems. Chapter 2 gives two case studies of DLs used in education, which is one of the most common applications of digital libraries. Chapter 3 covers social networks, which are at the heart of work onWeb 2.0, explaining the construction and use of deduced graphs, that can enhance retrieval and recommendation. Chapter 4 demonstrates the value of DLs in eScience, focusing, in particular, on cyber-infrastructure for simulation. Chapter 5 surveys geospatial information in DLs, with a case study on geocoding.

Given this rich content, we trust that any interested in digital libraries, or in related systems, will find this volume to be motivating, intellectually satisfying, and useful. We hope it will help move digital libraries forward into a science as well as a practice. We hope it will help build community that will address the needs of the next generation of DLs.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

數位圖書館(DLs)自1991年推出以來,已經發展成為一種重要的資訊系統類型,並廣泛應用。本書進一步推動了這一趨勢,描述了DL領域的新研究和開發,這些研究和開發建立在5S(社會、場景、空間、結構、流)框架之上,該框架在本系列的其他三本DL書籍中有所討論。儘管5S框架可用於描述許多類型的資訊系統,並且可能具有更廣泛的實用性和吸引力,但我們在這裡專注於數位圖書館。

本書借鑒了六篇(Akbar、Kozievitch、Leidig、Li、Murthy、Park)已完成和兩篇(Chen、Fouh)正在進行的博士論文,以及合作研究人員的努力,以及大量相關的出版物、演示、教程和報告,展示了5S在五個數位圖書館應用領域的適用性,這些應用領域在WWW、Web 2.0和創新資訊系統的背景下也很重要。通過整合對最新技術的調查、新研究、與形式化的聯繫、案例研究和練習/項目,本書可以作為對計算、資訊和/或圖書館科學感興趣的人的教科書。

第1章聚焦於圖像,解釋了它們如何與資訊檢索相關聯,在CBIR系統的背景下。第2章提供了兩個教育領域中使用DL的案例研究,這是數位圖書館最常見的應用之一。第3章涵蓋了社交網絡,這是Web 2.0工作的核心,解釋了推斷圖的構建和使用,可以增強檢索和推薦。第4章展示了DL在eScience中的價值,特別聚焦於模擬的網絡基礎設施。第5章對DL中的地理空間信息進行了調查,並提供了一個地理編碼的案例研究。

鑑於這豐富的內容,我們相信任何對數位圖書館或相關系統感興趣的人都會發現本書具有激勵性、智力滿足和實用性。我們希望它能夠推動數位圖書館成為一門科學和實踐。我們希望它能夠建立一個社群,以滿足下一代DL的需求。
