Specific methodological studies have shown that during the interview it is rare to find the strict application of the behaviouristic dictates which, still today, impose a passive role on the interviewer; often, the interviewers act in a non-programmed manner and reformulate...

The problem of modeling semi structured data is important in many application areas such as multimedia data management biolog ical databases digital libraries and data integration In this paper we base our work on bdfs which is a formal and elegant model for semi structured data where schemas are graphs whose edges are labeled with formulae of a theory T We extend bdfs with the possibility of e...

INTRODUCTION Document classification developed over the last ten years, using techniques originating from the pattern recognition and machine learning communities. All these methods do operate on flat text representations where word occurrences are considered independents. The recent paper (Sebastiani, 2002) gives a very good survey on textual document classification. With the development of st...

The need for discovering knowledge from XML documents according to both structure and content features has become challenging, due to the increase in application contexts for which handling both structure and content information in XML data is essential. So, the challenge is to find an hierarchical structure which ensure a combination of data levels and their representative structures. In this ...

During the last decade, data warehouse and OLAP techniques have helped companies to gather, organize and analyze the structured data they produce. Simultaneously, digital libraries have applied Information Retrieval mechanisms to query their repositories of unstructured documents. In this context, the emergence of XML means the convergence of these two approaches, making possible the developmen...

The amount of data of all kinds available electronically has increased dramatically in recent years. The data resides in di erent forms, ranging from unstructured data in le systems to highly structured in relational database systems. Data is accessible through a variety of interfaces including Web browsers, database query languages, application-speci c interfaces, or data exchange formats. Som...

Abstract Within any professional practice, knowledge developments to support service delivery and to understand roles inherent within that practice context are critical. The purpose of this article is to present findings from case study research that used the AUSPRAC Research Toolkit Interview Schedule and to propose an additional theme to the Interview Schedule.
