Extracting Meaningful Metadata
Get PDFThe paper identifies the importance of context based metadata
extraction for more meaningful web. It further discusses
context thesaurus approach for metadata extraction
Harvest: An Integrated Set of Tools for a Digital Library
Get PDFThis paper discusses the problems in organization and retrieval due
proliferation resources in digital format over the web. It presents the
harvest systems which tackles the problems through a set of
customizable tools for gathering information from diverse
repositories, building topic specific content indexes, flexibly
searching indexes, widely replicating them, and caching objects as
they are retrieved across the Internet. Harvest permits flexible
construction of information services that use both the network and
information servers efficiently. It is easily configurable system and
can be deployed to automatically collect and summarize related
objects from around the Internet into digital library collections

Digital Library Architecture
Get PDFDigital library is a very complex system. A digital library
can have multi-tier architecture. Different digital libraries
follow different architectures and models. This paper
discusses the basic concepts and principles involved in its
design and architecture. It further presents an evaluative
account of various digital library architectures
Greenstone Digital Library Software (GSDL): A Tutorial
Get PDFThis tutorial describes how to build your own digital library using
the Greenstone Digital Library (GSDL) Software -- a
comprehensive, open-source system for constructing, presenting, and
maintaining digital collections. Collections can be built and rebuilt
automatically in GSDL. The collections are easily maintainable and
include effective full-text searching and metadata-based browsing
facilities that are attractive and easy to use. Browsing utilizes
hierarchical structures that are created automatically from metadata
associated with the source documents. Collections can include text,
pictures, audio, and video, using an easy to use tool called the
Collector. Documents in the collection can be in any language. Even
the GSDL interface is available in many languages including
Chinese and Arabic. The system is extensible and customizable i.e.
software "plugins" can accommodate different documents and
metadata types according to user requirement
Institutional distribution in computer science research in India: a study
Get PDFThe study is based on 1408 research papers published in the international journals on computer sciences contributed by the Indian scientists from 1991 to 2000. The institutional distribution of research has been studied. The scatter of literature is a two-way process controlled by number of institutions contributing literature and the number of journals publishing these contributions. However, major portion of these contributions, as per the analysis, comes from a few institutions, like IITs (located at Kharagpur, Kanpur, Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai), Indian Statistical Institute at Kolkata and Indian Institute of Science (IISc) at Bangalore. The study shows that India has potential of carrying out computer science research of international standard
Librarians as Knowledge Mangers
Get PDFAn overall view of knowledge management, and the role of
librarians in its implementation are being discussed. The shift
from traditional work culture to a learning organization cannot
be accomplished quickly. It requires high-level commitment to
change, a rewards system that encourages teamwork, and the
sharing of best practices. The main idea of knowledge
management is establishing an environment where information
is shared and openly accepted. To built an effective knowledge
management system, the knowledge system needs to work
according to the work flow of the respective organization, and
should be able to produce the relevant information to the
ongoing projects in the organization. At the completion of the
project, the system is able to produce key documentation,
lessons learned and other useful information to be stored and
disseminated for future use. Corporations want knowledge
management because they realize it has the potential to help
them use what they already know, and what they don’t know, to work smarter and quicker and to make more money.
Librarians have significant advantages as knowledge
management players and they are both effective and customer
oriented, secondly, they understand the ways in which people
communicate information needs. Thus, librarians as
knowledge managers can provide value-added information to
their user community by using knowledge management tools in
their system

Context Analysis Applied to Content Management of Various Types of Documents
Get PDFThe paper suggests that the introductory part of any article
gives an idea about the thought content of the article; the
section headings and sub-headings among themselves may
shed light on the content; the references as end-notes or footnotes
should also indicate much about the topic; the legends of
illustrations e.g., graphs, charts, tables etc. may be used to
understand the core contents; acknowledgements and some
other peripheral parts may also help. These are considered as
contexts. Utilizing the contexts only informative or indicative
summaries of the text would be constructed
