The Lifecycle of a Digital Historical Document: Structure and Content
No full textThis paper describes the lifecycle of a digital historical document, from template-based structure definition through to content extraction from the scanned pages and its final reconstitution as an electronic document (combining content and semantic information) along with the tools that have been created to realise each stage in the lifecycle. The whole approach is described in the context of different types of typewritten documents relating to prisoners in World-War II concentration camps and is the result of a multinational collaboration under the MEMORIAL project funded (€1.5M) by the European Union (www.memorial-project.info). Extensive tests with historians/archivists and evaluation of the content extraction results indicate the superior performance of the whole semantics-driven approach both over manual transcription and over the semi-automated application of off-the-shelf OCR and the use of a conventional (text and layout) document format
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
An architecture of execution environment for context-aware applications running in intelligent space
No full textTyt. z nagłówka.Bibliogr. s. 216-217.Aplikacje kontekstowe działające w przestrzeniach inteligentnych są dynamicznie rozwijającą się grupą aplikacji. Ich model -IAI (Interaktywna Aplikacja Kontekstowa; ang. CAA) z jednej strony pozwala wyrazić ich interaktywność w odniesieniu do współdziałania z przestrzenią inteligentną i jej użytkownikami. Z drugiej strony obrazuje on iteracyjny charakter ich wykonywania, umożliwiający rozpatrywanie kontekstowej części aplikacji (tzn. działania dotyczącego dostosowywania do sytuacji w przestrzeni) w kategoriach algorytmów iteracyjnych. Aplikacje zdefiniowane w przy wykorzystaniu modelu IAI mogą być wykonywane bezpośrednio przez przestrzeń inteligentną. Jednakże w tym celu konieczne jest umieszczenie w niej specjalnego silnika dostarczającego określonych mechanizmów. Artykuł opisuje wynikającą z modelu IAI maszynę Parallel IAI (ang. Parallel CAA) będącą podstawą do utworzenia takiego silnika, wynikającą z niego właściwą architekturę oraz jej implementację, stanowiącą środowisko wykonywania aplikacji IAI.Context-aware applications running in intelligent spaces are one of the most dynamically developed group of applications. Their model called CAA (Context-Aware Applications) on the one hand allows to express their interactivity with regard to cooperation with an intelligent space and their users. On the other hand it shows their iterative nature that allows to analyze context-aware part of the application according to iterative algorithms. Applications defined in that way can be executed directly be the intelligent space. However, to do that the space needs to be enhanced with a special engine delivering particular mechanisms. The article describes such engine called Parallel CAA, its architecture and implementation. The implementation creates a CAA execution environment.Dostępny również w formie drukowanej.SŁOWA KLUCZOWE: aplikacja kontekstowa, model aplikacji, architektura środowiska, przestrzeń inteligentna.
