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. We describe 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. We conclude with a discussion of future research opportunities in the area of digital library workflow and outline how Metis is being deployed to a small set of digital libraries for additional evaluation.

We explore the digital collections of ten National Libraries and the applied access policies, when the digital material is free or restricted or the reproduction requires written permission or fees. We classify the implemented access policies according to their characteristics. We examine the differences among the implemented access policies and we generalize the solution approaches combining the varying parameters and other relevant emerging ones. The selection of the access policies is crucial for the acceptance and maintenance of the digital libraries. The success of any conventional or digital library depends on the usage of its material from the users. The usage of the material depends on the selection of the access policy.

Niche search engines offer an efficient alternative to traditional search engines when the results returned by general-purpose search engines do not provide a sufficient degree of relevance and when nontraditional search features are required. Niche search engines can take advantage of their domain of concentration to achieve higher relevance and offer enhanced features. We discuss a new digital library niche search engine, eBizSearch, dedicated to e-business and e-business documents. The ground technology for eBizSearch is CiteSeer, a special-purpose automatic indexing document digital library and search engine developed at NEC Research Institute. We present the integration of CiteSeer in the framework of eBizSearch and the process necessary to tune the whole system towards the specific area of e-business. We show how using machine learning algorithms we generate metadata to make eBizSearch Open Archives compliant.
当通用搜索引擎返回的结果不能提供足够的相关性以及需要非传统搜索特性时，利基搜索引擎提供了传统搜索引擎的有效替代方案。小众搜索引擎可以利用其集中的领域来实现更高的相关性，并提供增强的功能。我们讨论了一个新的数字图书馆搜索引擎，eBizSearch，致力于电子商务和电子商务文档。eBizSearch的基础技术是CiteSeer，一个由NEC研究所开发的专用自动索引文档数字图书馆和搜索引擎。我们介绍了CiteSeer在eBizSearch框架中的集成，以及将整个系统调整到电子商务特定领域所必需的过程。我们将展示如何使用机器学习算法生成元数据，使eBizSearch Open Archives兼容。

Conceptual browsing interfaces can help educators and learners to locate and use learning resources in educational digital libraries; in particular, resources that are aligned with nationally-recognized learning goals. Towards this end, we are developing a strand map library service, based on the maps published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). This service includes two public interfaces: (1) a graphical user interface for use by teachers and learners and (2) a programmatic interface that enables developers to construct conceptual browsing interfaces using dynamically generated components. We describe our iterative, rapid prototyping design methodology, and the initial round of language type components that have been implemented and evaluated.

We are studying metadata from its initial generation to its use in accessing desired educational resources. With a testbed of lesson plans and activities, we are comparing the manually and automatically generated metadata for their retrieval effectiveness (i.e. ability to retrieve the most relevant resources); conducting a subjective evaluation of manually and automatically generated metadata as representations of the resource as judged by subject matter experts, and; conducting studies of users' search and navigation behavior when accessing the digital library. These evaluations successfully combine what we believe are necessary foci on how and whether metadata affects the user and system performance.

Despite the large amount of online medical literature, it can be difficult for clinicians to find relevant information at the point of patient care. We present techniques to personalize the results of search, making use of the online patient record as a sophisticated, preexisting user model. Our work in PERSIVAL, a medical digital library, includes methods for reranking the results of search to prioritize those that better match the patient record. It also generates summaries of the reranked results, which highlight information that is relevant to the patient under the physician's care. We focus on the use of a common representation for the articles returned by search and the patient record, which facilitates both the reranking and the summarization tasks. This common approach to both tasks has a strong positive effect on the ability to personalize information.

Expandability is one of the main requirements of future digital libraries. We introduce a digital library service system, OpenDLib, that has been designed to be highly expandable in terms of content, services and usage. We illustrate the mechanisms that enable expandability and discuss their impact on the development of the system architecture.
