Conventionally, digital museum online exhibitions are constructed using handcrafted HTML pages which require tedious hypermedia composing. We propose a sophisticated modularization framework for exhibition Web site construction by integrating XML and Flash MX. A typical exhibition page is differentiated into several "layers" containing specific types of "media elements". Several categories of modularized Flash-based "media-handlers" are used to process and present the layers containing media elements. A complete set of media-handlers presenting the content are then integrated together to give the final page presentation. Based on this modularization framework, the workflow for exhibition construction and management is significant improved.

We describe the results from a pilot study that compared two different discovery systems designed and built to operate in the same educational digital library - one based on searching over metadata records and another hybrid system which combined metadata and content-based indexing.

We discuss the implications of the use of current multimedia collections and posit that it is possible to build what we term fourth-phase digital libraries (4PDLs). In 4PDLs users can take advantage of both the powerful audiovisual channels and the proven practices developed for media such as text. We demonstrate how various technologies can be integrated to produce a 4PDL.

Music information retrieval (MIR) systems tend to fall into two camps: that camp developing cataloging and providing advanced access systems for large collections of music and that camp developing specific query or access mechanisms. We have started to merge these camps by integrating Variations2, which provides access to a digitized portion of Indiana University's vast music library, with Michigan's VocalSearch, which provides a query-by-humming (QBH) search engine. The joint system, V2V, demonstrates how QBH can be used in connection with a large number of holdings in a real-world environment.

We identify (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.

The user interface and system architecture of a novel interactive shared educational environment (ISEE) are presented. Based on a lightweight infrastructure, ISEE enables relatively low bandwidth network users to share videos as well as text messages. Smartlink is a new concept introduced. Individual information presentation components, like the video player and text chat room, are "smartly" linked together through video timestamps and hyperlinks. A field study related to children book selections using ISEE was conducted. The results indicated that the combination of three information presentation components, including video player with storyboard, shared browser, and text chat room, provided an effective and more comfortable collaboration and learning environment for the given tasks than text reviews or text chat alone or in combination. The video player was the most preferred information component. Text comments in the chat room that did not synchronize with the video content distracted some participants due to limited cognitive capacity. Using smartlink to synchronize various information components or "channels" is our attempt to reduce the user's working memory load in information enriched distance learning environments made possible by digital libraries.

We discuss the preliminary use of a visualization tool called interactive timeline viewer (ItLv) in visualizing and exploring a collection of art works by Pablo Ruiz Picasso. Our data set is composed of a subset of the Online Picasso Project, a significantly sized online art repository of the renowned Spanish artist. We also include a brief discussion about how this visualization tool can help art scholars to study and analyze an artist's life and works.

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. We describe an environment, Web-DL that allows the construction of digital libraries from the Web. The Web-DL environment allows 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 large-scale solution for interoperability between independent digital libraries.

We present a domain-specific visual modelling tool, 5SGraph, aimed at modelling digital libraries. 5SGraph is based on a metamodel that describes DLs using the 5S theory [M.A. Goncalves et al., 2003]. The output from 5SGraph is a digital library model that is an instance of the metamodel, expressed in the 5S description language (5SL) [M.A. Goncalves et al., 2002]. 5SGraph presents the metamodel in a structured toolbox, and provides a top-down visual building environment for designers. The visual proximity of the metamodel and instance model facilitates requirements gathering and simplifies the modelling process. Furthermore, 5SGraph maintains semantic constraints specified by the 5S metamodel and enforces these constraints over the instance model to ensure semantic consistency and correctness. 5SGraph enables component reuse to reduce the time and efforts of designers. 5SGraph also is designed to be flexible and extensible, able to accommodate and integrate several other complementary tools (e.g., to model scenarios or complex digital objects), reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of digital libraries. The tool has been tested with real users and several modelling tasks in a usability experiment [Zhu, Q., 2002] and its usefulness and learnability have been demonstrated.
我们提出了一个领域特定的可视化建模工具,5SGraph,旨在为数字图书馆建模。5SGraph基于一个元模型,该模型使用5S理论[M.A.]描述dlGoncalves et al., 2003]。5SGraph的输出是一个数字图书馆模型,它是元模型的一个实例,用5S描述语言(5SL) [M.A.]表示Goncalves et al., 2002]。5SGraph在结构化工具箱中呈现元模型,并为设计人员提供自顶向下的可视化构建环境。元模型和实例模型的可视化接近有助于需求收集并简化建模过程。此外,5SGraph维护5S元模型指定的语义约束,并在实例模型上强制执行这些约束,以确保语义的一致性和正确性。5SGraph支持组件重用,从而减少设计人员的时间和工作。5SGraph还被设计为灵活和可扩展的,能够容纳和集成其他几个补充工具(例如,模拟场景或复杂的数字对象),反映了数字图书馆的跨学科性质。该工具已经在一个可用性实验中对真实用户和几个建模任务进行了测试[Zhu, Q., 2002],并证明了它的有用性和可学习性。

This system is being used to build structure data for the HEARTH digital collection and to manage the collection under the DLXS system. It allows student workers or unskilled employees to build structure metadata from scanned images for both monographs and serials, and manages the process of delivering the titles under DLXS once prepared. It allows supervisors to manage the work, simplifying tasks like reassigning the in-progress work of graduated students.
