The Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America (AILLA) is a Web accessible repository of multimedia resources in and about the indigenous languages of Latin America. We describe the graded access system developed at AILLA to protect sensitive materials by allowing resource producers-academics and indigenous people-finely grained control over the resources they house in the archive.

Digital libraries in the news domain may contain frequently updated data. Providing personalized access to such dynamic resources is an important goal. We investigate the area of filtering online dynamic news sources based on personal profiles. We experimented with an intelligent news-sifting system that tracks topic development in a dynamic online news source. Vocabulary discovery and clustering are used to expose current news topics. User interest profiles, generated from explicit and implicit feedback are used to customize the news retrieval system's interface.

We describe an interactive system, built within the context of CLiMB project, which permits a user to locate the occurrences of named entities within a given text. The named entity tool was developed to identify references to a single art object (e.g. a particular building) with high precision in text related to images of that object in a digital collection. We start with an authoritative list of art objects, and seek to match variants of these named entities in related text. Our approach is to "decay" entities into progressively more general variants while retaining high precision. As variants become more general, and thus more ambiguous, we propose methods to disambiguate intermediate results. Our results are used to select records into which automatically generated metadata are loaded.

We describe a collaboration project between the Palau Community College (PCC) Library and the Belau National Museum (BNM). The project, funded by a two-year U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Leadership Grant, enhances access to the BNM Media Collection. The Media Collection is in great demand, and the pressures of human use exacerbate an already tenuous situation for the long-term preservation of the images. While digitization is not viewed as the preservation solution, it assists the Museum to lessen the impact of human handling. By making the Media Collection more accessible through integration of the PCC Library's online catalog, a much wider audience is reached, and mishandling of the original image is significantly reduced. The PCC Website links the Library WebCollection Plus, which contains digitized images selected from the extensive photo archives, as well as digitized images of the ethnographic and other objects in the Museum's collection, including contemporary art.

A musical piece typically has a repetitive structure. Analysis of this structure will be useful for music segmentation, indexing and thumbnailing. We present an algorithm that can automatically analyze the repetitive structure of musical signals. First, the algorithm detects the repetitions of each segment affixed length in a piece using dynamic programming. Second, the algorithm summarizes this repetition information and infers the structure based on heuristic rules. The performance of the approach is demonstrated visually using figures for qualitative evaluation, and by two structural similarity measures for quantitative evaluation. Based on the structural analysis result, a method for music thumbnailing is proposed. The preliminary results obtained using a corpus of Beatles' songs show that automatic structural analysis and thumbnailing of music are possible.

The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) began as an alternative to distributed searching of scholarly e-print repositories. The model embraced by the OAI-PMH is that of metadata harvesting, where value-added services (by a "service provider") are constructed on cached copies of the metadata extracted from the repositories of the harvester's choosing. While this model dispenses with the well-known problems of distributed searching, it introduces the problem of synchronization. Stated simply, this problem arises when the service provider's copy of the metadata does not match the metadata currently at the constituent repositories. We define some metrics for describing the synchronization problem in the OAI-PMH. Based on these metrics, we study the synchronization problem of the OAI-PMH framework and propose several approaches for harvesters to implement better synchronization. In particular, if a repository knows its update frequency, it can publish it in an OAI-PMH identify response using an optional about container that borrows from RDF Site Syndication (RSS) Format.

Institutional repositories are being constructed today to address the needs of scholarly communication in a digital environment [R. Crow, 2002; C.A. Lynch, 2003]. The success of such institutional infrastructures as knowledge collections depends in part on offering low barriers for participation and on supporting heterogeneous knowledge inputs and outputs. The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) in partnership with CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research), the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) Science & Engineering Library, has modified CERN's CDSware software to initiate the process of creating a local low barrier repository.

The Legacy Tobacco Documents Library (LTDL) was launched on January 31, 2002. The launch was the successful completion of an intense one-year project to build a public digital library of approximately 4 million tobacco industry documents released under terms of the master settlement agreement between US tobacco companies and the National Association of Attorneys General. After being open for a year and expanding the size of the collection by another million documents, the LTDL team is faced with several challenges. We built the LTDL using the University of Michigan's DLXS middleware and the XPAT search engine. The LTDL is based on searchable metadata and document images.

Ibiblio is a digital library whose materials are submitted and maintained by volunteer contributors. We analyze the emergence of hyperlinked structures within the ibiblio collection. In the context of ibiblio, we analyze the suitability of Barabasi's model of preferential attachment to describe the distribution of incoming links. We find that the degree of maintainer activity for a given site (as measured by the voluntary development of descriptive metadata) is a stronger link count predictor for ibiblio than is a site's age, as the standard model predicts. Thus we argue that the efforts of ibiblio's contributors positively affect the popularity of their materials.
