Gathering accurate client information from World Wide Web sites

This paper discusses the design and use of a number of simple measurement methods that are available to the developers of small World Wide Web (Web)systems. The focus is on how the resulting data can be used to assist with re-designing the initial system. The author argues that the analysis of viewer usage patterns, together with the need for ever more sophisticated collection should form an essential part of the development life cycle of a Web-based system. The conclusion outlines some desirable features of such tools, based on development and maintenance experience on a University site.     

The World Wide Web

Abstract

The World Wide Web is increasingly being used by libraries as a way to extend traditional services to patrons. The Web can also be used as a tool to facilitate communications between library professionals and to deliver presentations, organize exhibits, and develop demonstration projects. The allocation of personal Web work space on a library server provides librarians with a means to experiment with using the medium and a place to publish information of interest to the library profession. This paper explores the uses of the Web to enhance communications between library professionals and addresses some of the issues associated with such uses.

Enhancing a Newspaper Collection Using the World Wide Web

Abstract

Serial cancellations have reduced the print newspaper collection at the University of Toledo (UT) Library by about one third since 1990. In the meantime, the number of newspapers publishing on the World Wide Web has skyrocketed, prompting UT to investigate accessing newspapers online. The immediate goal of this project is to provide library users with access to online versions of cancelled print newspapers, and eventually to enhance the collection even further with additional electronic newspapers. This article examines the trends in online newspaper publishing, researches the availability of Web sites in relation to the UT newspaper collection, critically reviews the sites found, and discusses the issues surrounding access to an online collection.     

Technical Report Literature on the World Wide Web

Abstract

This article reviews and analyzes the current state of Web access to technical report literature. Besides locating sites for bibliographically identifying technical reports, it also looks at the ways the full-text of technical reports are being distributed. Where appropriate, it compares the electronic bibliographic control products with their print or formerly print equivalents. Most widely available at this point are federal government reports and computer science technical reports. Information on coping with the various file formats found at the sites is also provided. URLs to the various technical report sites and to sites dealing with the software applications needed to access the reports are included.     

Automatically Determining Semantics for World Wide Web Multimedia Information Retrieval

Search engines are useful because they allow the user to find information of interest from the World Wide Web (WWW). However, most of the popular search engines today are textual; they do not allow the user to find images from the web. For effective retrieval, determining the semantics of the images is essential. In this paper, we describe the problems in determining the semantics of images on the WWW and the approach of AMORE, a WWW search engine that we have developed. AMORE's techniques can be extended to other media like audio and video. We explain how we assign keywords to the images based on HTML pages and the method to determine similar images based on the assigned text. We also discuss some statistics showing the effectiveness of our technique. Finally, we present the visual interface of AMORE with the help of several retrieval scenarios.     

Searching the World Wide Web with Lycos and Infoseek

This paper evaluates the use of the Lycos and InfoSeek search tools for information discovery of the World Wide Web (WWW). It concentrates on a close comparison between the services offered by each of these tools; focusing on search interfaces and languages, collection size and content, quality and indexing issues and the increasing move towards commercialisation of tools on the WWW which are used for organising and cataloguing resources. The paper concludes that both of these search tools are able to produce results of some value when WWW searching and each has strengths and weaknesses in certain areas. Quality and indexing issues have yet to be successfully addressed by the current database creation strategies used by these tools.     

Distributed Coordination and Workflow on the World Wide Web

This paper describes WebFlow, an environment thatsupports distributed coordination services on theWorld Wide Web. WebFlow leverages the HTTP Webtransport protocol and consists of a number of toolsfor the development of applications that require thecoordination of multiple, distributed servers.Typical applications of WebFlow include distributeddocument workspaces, inter/intra-enterprise workflow,and electronic commerce. In this paper we describe thegeneral WebFlow architecture for distributedcoordination, and then focus on the environment fordistributed workflow.

A Multimedia World Wide Web Based Conference Minute System for Group Collaboration

In this paper, we propose a World Wide Web based conference minute system which preserves important information in the conference as web documents and maintains hyperlinks to related minutes to accelerate the progress of the project. This system, based on our Java application sharing framework, provides capabilities to record and replay the audio/video data of the video conference and operations of the shared applications used in the meeting in a synchronous manner. Through the hyperlinks, people can quickly understand the logic flow of every meeting held in the project duration and select any part in a meeting for replay to know what has actually happened. Furthermore, when a new meeting is held, a minute template is generated by the system to inherit the hyperlinks from its predecessors. Other related minutes and the execution status of the resolutions in the project can be easily accessed through the hyperlinks between them. Through the help of the system, execution of the project and management of its organizational memory could be easily achieved to increase the productivity of the collaborative groups with geographically dispersed members.

Internet上多来源MSDS的统一检索方法

国际上称之为材料安全数据表的MSDS是一份关于化合物安全信息的综合性法律文件.随着人们安全意识的提高以及对职业健康、环境保护等认识的不断深入,MSDS作为一个安全信息文件越来越受重视.由于制作MSDS需要一定的成本,充分利用网络上免费的MSDS数据对于了解化合物的安全信息具有重要的参考价值.已有针对MSDS的搜索工具,一般只能检索单一来源的MSDS数据库,所以建立一个能通过一个查询同时榆索多个来源数据库的MSDS搜索引擎,将为使用MSDS的人员提供极大方便.本文提出建立MSDS统一搜索引擎的框架,通过链接分析技术和深层网数据检索技术获取MSDS文件,然后缓存各数据源检索结果,并建立化合物索引以提高MSDS搜索引擎的响应速度.其实现过程包括发现与自动构造检索式模式、自动获取检索结果页面、利用数据提取的方法获取化合物标识信息以建立MSDS的化合物索引等多个方面,为建立一个可用的MSDS统一搜索引擎奠定坚实基础.     

Distributed and cooperative information retrieval on the World Wide Web

A masss of heterogeneous,distributed and dynamic information on the World Wide Web(the Web) has resulted in “information overload“ .It‘s an important and urgent reserach issue to provide users with effective information retrieval service on the Web.Web search enginees attempt to solve this problem,yet their effect is far from satisfying.In this paper,a distributed and cooperative strategy for information retrieval on the Web is proposed to substitute the centralized mode adopted by the current search engines.Then a new information retrieval system model IRSM is presented.which supports the retrieval of metadata about web documents and uses Z39.50 standard protocol to unify the heterogeneous interfaces of uments and uses Z39.50 standard protocol to unify the heterogeneous interfaces of different systems.Based on that,a distributed and cooperative information refieval framework,called DCIRF,is designed to help users in fast and effective information retrieval on the Web.
