Search Algorithms
Get PDFThis paper is a brief discussion about the some of most popular
search algorithms, used in searching, browsing and retrieving of
digital information. It also gives the brief outlook about the various
search algorithms used by digital library and similar species of the
software
Data Mining and Clustering Techniques
Get PDFData mining techniques are most useful in information
retrieval; some of these techniques are classification,
association rules and clustering. An attempt has been made
here to discuss these techniques
A Tutorial on HTML
Get PDFThe World Wide Web is one large web of electronic documents.
These documents are accessible to anyone connected to the Net
using a browser. The design of a web page is crucial for presenting
information in a manner that is most comp elling to read. This design
is possible because of a special language called HTML. This paper
aims at giving a very brief in sight into the concepts of the Hyper
Text Markup Language. A few important HTML tags are described
to give the user a very basic working knowledge of the language
Installing Greenstone Digital Library Software on Linux Systems
Get PDFThis paper presents a step-by-step approach to install GSDL on
Linux system
The Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting: An Introduction
Get PDFThe Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting
(OAI-PMH) is a collaborative effort that provides an applicationindependent
interoperability framework based on metadata
harvesting. Though the OAI-PMH is a very recent development it is
being regarded as an important step towards information discovery
in the digital library arena. This paper looks into the issues leading
to its development as well as gives an inside view of the proposed
model
Image Indexing and Retrieval
Get PDFThe amount of pictorial data has been growing enormously with the
expansion of WWW. From the large number of images, it is very
important for users to retrieve required images via an efficient and
effective mechanism. To solve the image retrieval problem, many
techniques have been devised addressing the requirement of different
applications. Problem of the traditional methods of image indexing
have led to the rise of interest in techniques for retrieving images on
the basis of automatically derived features such as color, texture and
shape… a technology generally referred as Content-Based Image
Retrieval (CBIR). After decade of intensive research, CBIR
technology is now beginning to move out of the laboratory into the
marketplace. However, the technology still lacks maturity and is not
yet being used in a significant scale
Advances in automatic text categorisation
No full textIn this paper we trace the developments in automatic text categorization with special emphasis on statistical approaches. we also take a quick look at some of the issues of particular interest to Indian language
A Digital Library of Library and Information Science using DSpace

The implementation of DSpace to build a digital library of
Library and Information Science is explained. Presents a list of
features of DSpace to justify its choice over competing open
source DL software. Presents the various collections that are
built under the DRTC Digital Library. Discusses the OAI-PMH,
Handles for persistent identification of digital documents and
Lucene search engine’s query language
Digitization of Print materials, Audio and Video
Get PDFThis paper discusses the process of digitization of the print material,
audio and video including slides, microfilms etc. it discusses the
scanning process, scanners, OCR technology, image editing
softwares and standards for information storage
eXtensible Markup Language: A Tutorial
Get PDFSGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is mother of all the
markup languages. eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is a
derivative of SGML. In the Internet arena Hypertext Markup
Language (HTML) is found to be unsuitable particularly when it
comes to attach semantics to the data. That is why XML was
developed. XML is still not a completely matured technology and
more and more specifications are coming up. Currently XML
version 1.0 is released by W3C. This paper is written to give an
overview about the designing of a XML based solution for library
science professionals
