VUNA: A Prototype for Organisation and Retrieval of Newspaper Items
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract This is the age of information explosion. A massive quantity of information is being generated, a large portion of which is found in newspapers. It is posing a unique challenge for information managers for processing information and providing required information to information seekers. This article discusses a newspaper information retrieval system named Vidyasagar University News Archive (VUNA), which has been developed by information specialists for effective management and retrieval of information from newspapers. This article highlights the salient technical issues related to the development of a prototype online digital newspaper information retrieval system suitable for India. The basic architecture, operational features, etc. have been discussed and a comparative picture of respective performance and failures of existing online newspaper archives in India and VUNA also has been drawn.

متن کاملA Prototype Content-Based Retrieval System that Uses Virtual Images to Save Space
Previous research has demonstrated that space can be saved in a MultiMedia DataBase Management System (MMDBMS) by storing some of the data items virtually, meaning they are stored as sequences of editing operations. The existing approaches for performing ContentBased Retrieval (CBR) in an MMDBMS, however, typically assume that the data items are stored as large, binary objects. The result is th...

متن کاملKnowledge Organisation and Information Retrieval with Galois Lattices
In this paper we investigate the application of Galois (or concept) lattices on different data sources (e.g. web documents or bibliographical items) in order to organise knowledge that can be extracted from the data. This knowledge organisation can then be used for a number of purposes (e.g. knowledge management in an organisation, document retrieval on the Web, etc.). Galois lattices can be co...
