ITRI-98-16 Retrieving Pictures for Document Generation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper sketches how picture retrieval can be used by a document generation system for the inclusion of ‘photographic’ pictures in the documents generated by the system. The exposition is based on the What You See Is What You Meant (WYSIWYM) approach to knowledge editing and document generation (Power and Scott 1998, Scott et al. 1998). The paper describes an algorithm that makes use of a library of pictures, each of which is associated with a set of logical representations to facilitate retrieval. The paper introduces the twin notions of pictorial underspecificity and pictorial overspecificity, and focuses on the problems stemming from these two phenomena.

ITRI-98-10 Representations for Multimedia Coreference
This paper sketches a representationalist approach to some aspects of the problem of media coordination. We will sketch how formulaic representations can be used to represent the relevant information in a pictorial as well as in a textual medium. Moreover, it will be explained how these representations, which consist of a semantic, a pragmatic, and a stylistic component, can be used to determin...

This paper explains how a form of picture retrieval can be used to allow a document generation system to include pictures in generated documents. The exposition is based on the What You See Is What You Meant (WYSIWYM) approach to document generation [Power and Scott, 1998]. The approach outlined in the paper makes use of a library of pictures, each of which is associated with a WYSIWYM-generate...
متن کاملITRI-95-16 On Graphical Procedural Representations
Abstract This report presents an analysis of graphical procedural representations from the point of the view of the work on DRAFTER, a tool that supports the generation of English and French instructions for graphical user interfaces. It outlines the differences between procedural representations and rhetorical representations in the context of user interfaces, and then suggests the use of Davi...
متن کاملTowards scalable interfaces using spatial cues for document management
Document management is an unavoidable task. Previous research evaluated the effect of building document management systems exploiting spatial memory. It was proven that spatial memory enhances retrieval tasks for systems dealing with a small number of data items. We investigate the effect of spatial cues with scalable systems. We present EDM (Enhanced Data Mountain), a scalable picture manageme...
