The Web contains a huge volume of unstructured data, which is difficult to manage. In digital libraries, on the other hand, information is explicitly organized, described, and managed. Community-oriented services are built to attend specific information needs and tasks. In this paper, we describe an environment, Web-DL, that allows the construction of digital libraries from the Web. The Web-DL environment will allow us to collect data from the Web, standardize it, and publish it through a digital library system. It provides support to services and organizational structure normally available in digital libraries, but benefiting from the breadth of the Web contents. We experimented with applying the Web-DL environment to the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD), thus demonstrating that the rapid construction of DLs from the Web is possible. Also, Web-DL provides an alternative as a largescale solution for interoperability between independent digital libraries.

To access the content of digital texts efficiently, it is necessary to provide more sophisticated access than keyword based searching. Genescene provides biomedical researchers with research findings and background relations automatically extracted from text and experimental data. These provide a more detailed overview of the information available. The extracted relations were evaluated by qualified researchers and are precise. A qualitative ongoing evaluation of the current online interface indicates that this method to search the literature is more useful and efficient than keyword based searching.

The Metis project is developing workflow technology designed for use in digital libraries by avoiding the assumptions made by traditional workflow systems. In particular, digital libraries have highly distributed sets of stakeholders who nevertheless must work together to perform shared activities. Hence, traditional assumptions that all members of a workflow belong to the same organization, work in the same fashion, or have access to similar computing platforms are invalid. The Metis approach makes use of event-based workflows to support the distributed nature of digital library workflow and employs techniques to make the resulting technology lightweight, flexible, and integrated with the Web. This paper describes the conceptual framework behind the Metis approach as well as a prototype which implements the framework. The prototype represents a “proof-of-concept” of the Metis framework and approach as we show how it can both model and execute a peer review workflow drawn from a “real-world” digital library. After describing related work, the paper concludes with a discussion of future research opportunities in the area of digital library workflow and outlines how Metis is being deployed to a small set of digital libraries for additional evaluation.

G-Portal is a web portal system providing a range of digital library services to access geospatial and georeferenced resources on the Web. Among them are the storage and query subsystems that provide a central repository of metadata resources organized under different projects. In GPortal, all metadata resources are represented in XML (Extensible Markup Language) and they are compliant to some resource schemas defined by their creators. The resource schemas are extended versions of a basic resource schema making it easy to accommodate all kinds of metadata resources while maintaining the portability of resource data. To support queries over the geospatial and georeferenced metadata resources, a XQuery-like query language known as RQL (Resource Query Language) has been designed. In this paper, we present the RQL language features and provide some experimental findings about the storage design and query evaluation strategies for RQL queries.

This study identifies (1) several taxonomies of questions at different levels of linguistic analysis, according to which questions received by digital reference services are classified, and (2) a simple categorization of triage recipients. The utility of these taxonomies and categorizations of triage recipients is discussed as the basis for systems for automating triage and other steps in the digital reference process.

Robust and flexible digital collections management and presentation software is essential for creating and delivering digital collections. But digital library technologies and contents are not static. Continual evolution and investment are required to maintain the digital library. Few commercial digital library products are comprehensive and extensible enough to support this evolution. Many of these systems are in early release and have not been used and tested widely. Some require an initial investment in license fees or staff time that we could not afford. None of the products covered the full range of functionality needed for our digital library. An alternative for practical, real-world digital libraries is to build the infrastructure from a variety of distinct systems, including commercial products, components constructed with specialized tool kits, open source applications, and homegrown programs. Open source applications in particular allow developers and users to modify the system and tailor it to their own particular needs. Like commercial software, open source software will not be a perfect solution. But open systems at least give developers and users the opportunity to modify functionality and create interfaces for integration with other software. With close collaboration between programmers and digital library staff, many creative features can be identified and added to the system. That is the approach taken by the Digital Collections Production Center at the Washington Research Library Consortium, where we integrated the Greenstone digital library software and DC-dot Dublin Core generator into a powerful and flexible digital collections management system. Our demonstration presents a comprehensive digital collections management and presentation system built by customizing and integrating freely available open source software. We adapted the DC-dot Dublin Core generator for metadata creation and management, and integrated it with the Greenstone digital library software to present our digital collections on the Web. Additional functions were implemented using freely available scripting tools. The result is a highly extensible system, tailored to our local environment and requirements, with easy-to-use tools for data entry and collections administration and a powerful and attractive user interface. The features of the metadata creation tool include: Digital object identification. Local authority control. Metadata editing. Template creation. Digital object access. The features of the administration tool include: Collection configuration. Importing Dublin Core records. Global changes. Nightly rebuilds. The Greenstone user interface was customized to highlight the unique features of the individual digital collections. The metadata description is presented in a standard library OPAC format with a thumbnail image. The full-size images in the digital object can be viewed with Image Viewer in another browser window.

At the NASA Langley Research Center, the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) Data Management Team and the Atmospheric Sciences Data Center are developing a digital collection for the ERBE project. The main goal is long-term preservation of a comprehensive information environment. The secondary goal is to provide a context for these data products by centralizing the 25-year research project's scattered information elements. The development approach incorporates elements of rapid prototyping and user-centered design in a standards-based implementation. A working prototype is in testing with a small number of users.
