In 1997 the library department at the University of Karlskrona/Ronneby was asked to develop a database which could be used to collate and present all the research material and ongoing research projects at the University in electronic form. If possible, full text versions of all the material should be made available. In this paper we will discuss the experiences and problems we have gathered dur...

Electronic documents are more easily copied and redistributed than paper documents. This is a major impediment to electronic publishing. Illegal redistribution can be discouraged by placing unique marks in each copy and registering the copy with the original recipient. If an illegal copy is discovered, the original recipient can be identified. In this work we describe several invisible techniqu...

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEl) is an international project established in 1988 to develop guidelines for the preparation and interchange of electronic texts for research, and to satisfy a broad range of uses by the language industries more generally. The need for standardized encoding practices has become inxreasingly critical as the need to use and, most importantly, reuse vast amounts of ...

The analysis of medical records is a major challenge, considering they are generally presented in plain text, have a very specific technical vocabulary and are nearly always unstructured. It is an interdisciplinary work that requires knowledge from several fields. The analysis may have several goals, such as assistance on clinical decision, classification of medical procedures, and to support h...

We describe the application of multilingual text generation in a system for assisting the process of publication. This system is an editor's workbench for preparation of the publication of an art history encyclopedia (the Macmillan Dictionary of Art), which is itself part of an integrated pub!ication environment being developed at GMD-IPSI. We show how an editor's tasks can be facilitated by th...

Summary This paper discusses a theory and proposed design for a retrieval artifact using a bag of words (BOW) approach for terms and a standard deviation method for assigning weights. The paper is organized into three parts. The first part is an historical overview of the development of text mining techniques. It is intended to acquaint the reader with our perspectives and assumptions; it is no...

Purpose – The paper aims to describe an electronic text project involving a scholarly history journal, and to share findings related to the encoding of serials using the text encoding interchange (TEI) guidelines. Design/methodology/approach – The project was completed using a combination of in-house and outsourced digitization and encoding, employing a variety of methods for quality control an...

The purpose of this study was to determine if electronic messaging would increase min of aerobic physical activity (PA) among older adults. Participants were active older adults (n = 28; M age = 60 years, SD = 5.99, and range = 51-74 years). Using an incomplete within-subjects crossover design, participants were randomly assigned to begin the 4-week study receiving the treatment condition (a mo...

Due to increasing use of internet and online technologies or online data, there is vast increase in the electronic documents. When a data is being retrieved from such a huge collection of electronic documents, hundreds and thousands of documents are retrieved. Hence, for user, it is not possible to read all the retrieved documents. Also, these documents contain redundant information. In such si...

A trend to digitize historical paper-based archives has emerged in recent years, with the advent of digital optical scanners. A lot of paper-based books, textbooks, magazines, articles, and documents are being transformed into electronic versions that can be manipulated by a computer. For this purpose, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems have been developed to transform scanned digital ...
