Distributed proofreading allows many people working individually across the Internet to contribute to the proofreading of a new electronic book. We describe project Gutenberg's distributed proofreading project, along with our general procedures for creating an electronic book from a physical book. Distributed proofreading has promise for the future of project Gutenberg, and is likely to be a useful strategy for other digital library projects.

We present a technique to correct image distortion that can occur when library materials are imaged by cameras. Our approach provides a general framework to undo a variety of common distortions, including binder curl, fold distortion, and combinations of the two. Our algorithm is described and demonstrated on several examples.

A novel algorithm for speech watermarking through parametric modelling is enhanced by inclusion of a quantified fidelity criterion. Watermarking is effected through solution of a set-membership filtering (SMF) problem, subject to an l/sub /spl infin// fidelity criterion in the signal space. The SMF approach provides flexibility in obtaining watermark solutions that trade-off watermark robustness and stegosignal fidelity.

The Digital Library Service Integration project (DLSI) automatically generates links to related collections and services. Our primary contribution is providing a relatively straightforward, sustainable infrastructure for integrating information systems. The DLSI infrastructure provides a systematic approach for integrating systems with Web interfaces. DLSI generates link anchors and links automatically. If a collection or service can operate on an element, DLSI will generate a link leading directly to that system's feature.

To support effective browsing, interfaces to digital video libraries should include video surrogates (i.e., smaller objects that can stand in for the videos in the collection, analogous to abstracts standing in for documents). The current study investigated four variations (i.e., speeds) of one form of video surrogate: a fast forward created by selecting every Nth frame from the full video. In addition, it tested the validity of six measures of user performance when interacting with video surrogates. Forty-five study participants interacted with all four versions of the fast forward surrogate, and completed all six performance tasks with each. Surrogate speed affected performance on four of the measures: object recognition (graphical), action recognition, linguistic gist comprehension (full text), and visual gist comprehension. Based on these results, we recommend a fast forward default speed of 1:64 of the original video keyframes. In addition, users should control the choice of fast forward speed to adjust for content characteristics and personal preferences.

We bring together people with Open Archives Initiative (OAI) metadata harvesting experience to discuss problems, their solutions, and to identify best practices. The focus is on near- to medium-term practical issues. Participants have the opportunity to discuss problems or raise issues that they have encountered and benefit from the shared experience of the other participants. We combine and distill the OAI harvesting knowledge and experience of the participants to detail 1) best practices and existing solutions to particular harvesting problems; and 2) unresolved problems and issues with current implementations, the specification, or limitations of version 2.0 the OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) [C. Lagoze et al., 2002]. The conclusion is disseminated to the wider OAI community.

Effective information retrieval (IR) using domain knowledge and semantics is one of the major challenges in IR. We propose a framework that can facilitate image retrieval based on a sharable domain ontology and thesaurus. In particular, case-based learning (CBL) using a natural language phrase parser is proposed to convert a natural language query into resource description framework (RDF) format, a semantic-web standard of metadata description that supports machine readable semantic representation. This same parser also is extended to perform semantic annotation on the descriptive metadata of images and convert metadata automatically into the same RDF representation. The retrieval of images then can be conducted by matching the semantic and structural descriptions of the user query with those of the annotated descriptive metadata of images. We tested in our problem domain by retrieving the historical and cultural images taken from Dr. Ching-chih Chen's "First Emperor of China" CD-ROM (1991) as part of our productive international digital library collaboration. We have constructed and implemented the domain ontology, a Mandarin Chinese thesaurus, as well as the similarity match and retrieval algorithms in order to test our proposed framework. Our experiments have shown the feasibility and usability of these approaches.

To support nontrivial clients, such as data exploration and analysis environments, digital libraries must be able to describe the access modes that their contents support. We present a simple scheme that distinguishes four content accessibility classes: download (byte-stream retrieval), service (API), Web interface (interactive), and offline. These access modes may recursively nest in alternative (semantically equivalent) or multipart (component) hierarchies. This scheme is simple enough to be easily supported by DL content providers, yet rich enough to allow programmatic clients to automatically identify appropriate access point(s).

The Networked Knowledge Organization Systems/Services (NKOS) workshop is focused on the transformation of traditional knowledge organization systems (KOSs) to new forms of knowledge representation that are being developed to support a more semantic-based, meaningful Web environment. The goal was to identify principles from more traditional practices that can contribute to the design of new knowledge-organization systems and ways to exploit the extensive intellectual capital available in traditional KOSs when developing new KOS tools. We describe the development of specific Web service functionality applicable to KOSs. The benefits of this service-based approach and the possibility of universal or community-based KOS services were explored. NKOS is an ad hoc group devoted to the discussion of KOSs as networked interactive information services to support the description and retrieval of diverse information resources through the Internet.
