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 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。

We describe a way to integrate fine granular structures of digital documents in an object-oriented database. A generic data model was specified to provide a simple and flexible way to manage the documents. The demonstration system includes a possibility to create and import document collections, to map document structures to the internal generic model, and finally to search for documents and to present them.

Traditional video libraries only catalog and index videos at the piece level. Digital videos need to be catalogued and indexed both on multiple levels (e.g. video, segment and frame) and through multiple modalities (e.g., textual description and visual surrogate). VIVO (Video Indexing and Visualization Organizer) is such a prototype tool we developed to help digital video librarians to input, edit and manage video metadata elements on different levels.

The scope and reach of digital libraries (DL) is truly global, spanning geographical and cultural boundaries, yet few scholars have investigated the influence of culture as it pertains to the design and use of digital libraries. We examine cross-cultural issues around the use and development of DLs, especially as they relate to supporting cross-cultural usability of DLs.

This research describes an empirical study of how the unqualified Dublin core metadata element set (DC or DCMES) is used by 100 data providers (DPs) registered with the Open Archives Initiative (OAI). The research was conducted to determine whether or not the DCMES is used to its full capabilities. Eighty-two of 100 DPs have metadata records available for analysis. DCMES usage varies by type of DP. The average number of Dublin core elements per record is eight, with an average of 91,785 Dublin core elements in each DP. Five of the 15 elements of the DCMES are used 71% of the time. The results show the unqualified DCMES is not used to its fullest extent within DPs registered with the OAI.

Early modern books written in Latin contain many abbreviations of common words that are derived from earlier manuscript practice. While these abbreviations are usually easily deciphered by a reader well-versed in Latin, they pose technical problems for full text digitization: they are difficult to OCR or have typed and - if they are not expanded correctly - they limit the effectiveness of information retrieval and reading support tools in the digital library. We describe a method for the automatic expansion and disambiguation of these abbreviations.

The Stanford MediaServer has previously been deployed to catalog, organize, and centralize management of such media collections via the World Wide Web. Educational tools have been developed on top of existing MediaServer infrastructure to address a range of pedagogical models, and to promote widespread adoption within the Stanford Medical School curriculum and departments. These tools include Slide Show, Export to PowerPoint, Teaching File, and e-Books. With the exception of e-Books, these tools use Web-based wizards to lead the user through the steps for creating each component.

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 NSDL community consists of large, discipline diverse, and decentralized user groups made up of collaborator communities who create, aggregate, and contribute digital resources to the NSDL. NSDL Core Integration provides "wholesale" services to NSDL collaborator communities who may "retail" those services through their own portals, perhaps packaged with additional content selected to meet their specialized users' needs. NSDL "wholesale" services will support rich representations of complex data relationships. NSDL will distribute access to aggregations and annotations stored in the NSDL metadata repository that have been harvested, normalized (based on the scaleable library production model in use at nsdl.org), and exposed for re-harvest. "Retailers" may use the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) for Metadata Harvesting Protocol to harvest these structured data relationships and make them available for use in other library services.
