The University of Virginia received a grant of $1,000,000 from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to enable the Library, in collaboration with Cornell University, to build a digital object repository system based on the Flexible Extensible Digital Object and Repository Architecture (Fedora). The new system demonstrates how distributed digital library architecture can be deployed using web-based te...

nowadays, standardized metadata for geospatial data is a key in sharing and finding information on the web and crucial in building geospatial data infrastructure (gdi). the main objective of this paper was to develop a web-based metadata dissemination system for in-situ sensors based on, most importantly, interoperable, standard and open technologies introduced by open gis consortium (ogc), nam...

This paper describes a digital library developed within the “Towards a Digital Dante Encyclopaedia” project, a three years Italian National Research Project that aims at building services supporting scholars in creating, evolving and consulting a digital encyclopaedia of Dante Alighieri’s works. The digital library is based on a knowledge base storing knowledge on the primary sources that Dante...

[email protected] ABSTRACT This paper addresses an important research area in digital government development: intelligent design of digital government Web portals, a primary means of realizing the core function of digital government – online government service delivery. In particular, we propose and study the eservice selection problem and introduce a web-mining based approach to e...

The instant diffusion of digital contents via the Internet, especially on portal web sites such as YouTube, is phenomenal. The large audience (demand) pool and the potential of content’s diffusion via the vast users’ network give a promising market to companies willing to distribute their digital contents online. However, not all video contents are successful. While some of the contents get ins...

Web-based digital libraries have sped up the process that scholars use to find new, important research papers. With powerful searching capabilities and rich bibliographic meta data, a digital library is a great resource. Unfortunately, current digital libraries are limited by their inadequate webpage-based paradigm, and it is easy for even the most experienced scholar to get lost in the vast qu...

one of the most fundamental features of digital image and the basic steps in image processing, analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision is the edge of an image where the preciseness and reliability of its results will affect directly on the comprehension machine system made objective world. several edge detectors have been developed in the past decades, although no single edge detector...

In recent years, digital twins have been pervading different application domains—from manufacturing to healthcare—as an approach for virtualising kinds of physical entities (things, products, machines). The dominant view developed in the literature so far is about virtualisation individual assets a closed-system perspective. this article, we introduce and explore broader perspective that call W...

Connectivity and relatedness of Web resources are two concepts that define to what extent different parts are connected or related to one another. Measuring connectivity and relatedness between Web resources is a growing field of research, often the starting point of recommender systems. Although relatedness is liable to subjective interpretations, connectivity is not. Given the Semantic Web’s ...
