Archiving Web pages into themed collections is a method for ensuring these resources are available for posterity. Services such as Archive-It exists to allow institutions to develop, curate, and preserve collections of Web resources. Understanding the contents and boundaries of these archived collections is a challenge for most people, resulting in the paradox of the larger the collection, the ...

We describe the conceptual architecture of a Personalized Information Environment or PIE A PIE allows uni ed highly customizable access to distributed information resources by providing users the tools to compose personalized collections from a palette of information resources The architecture also provides for the e cient exchange of inter resource meta information like collection statistics i...

The objective conditions and the obstacles of collection resources construction in present college libraries are analyzed in this paper. The overview of CALIS and its third-phase project is introduced. The approach of virtual library collection construction of university libraries by using CALIS cloud platform is explored.

The US National Science Foundation has established a program to create a National Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education Digital Library (NSDL). One of the subsidiary NSDL libraries under development is the National Civil Engineering Educational Resources Library (NCERL). The first phase of NCERL is the creation and collection of digital resources in three areas of civil eng...

For understanding humorous dialogue, a collection of humorous expressions is needed. In addition to humorous expressions, their annotations are important to be used as language resources. In this paper, we analyzed how human assessors annotate humorous expressions extracted from an online community-based questionanswering (CQA) corpus, which contains many interesting examples of humorous commun...

In this paper we present algorithms for building and maintaining efficient collection trees that provide the conduit to disseminate data required for processing monitoring queries in a wireless sensor network. While prior techniques base their operation on the assumption that the sensor nodes that collect data relevant to a specified query need to include their measurements in the query result ...

Divisible Load Theory (DLT) is an effective tool for blueprinting data-intensive computational problems. Heuristic algorithms have been proposed in the past to solve for a DLS (Divisible Load Schedule) with result collection on heterogeneous star networks. However scheduling on heterogeneous multi-level trees with result collection is still an open problem. In this thesis, new heuristic algorit...

The Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) at Oberlin College is using digital technology to enhance its educational mission: digital archiving and web publishing are being used to vastly increase and enhance the availability of our educational resources. By pursuing the dual goals of presentation and preservation, we are creating a system that will allow unprecedented access to thousands of signific...

Digital libraries focused on developing humanities resources for both scholarly and popular audiences face the challenge of bringing together digital resources built by scholars from different disciplines and subsequently integrating and presenting them. This challenge becomes more acute as libraries grow, both in terms of size and organizational complexity, making the traditional humanities pr...

The paper describes evaluation resources for concept-based, cross-lingual information retrieval in the medical domain. All resources were constructed in the context of the MuchMore project and are freely available through the project website. Available resources include: a bilingual, parallel document collection of German and English medical scientific abstracts, a set of queries and correspond...
