This chapter presents the services and functionality that a personal digital library system should provide,
including a reference architecture to support such a design. A current system, PDLib, is used to demonstrate
such a personal digital library that can be used to manage personal collections and its potential to become a
commodity and means of social interaction.
Chapter VI

.....................................................................................51
George Pyrounakis, University of Athens, Greece
Mara Nikolaidou, Harokopio University of Athens, Greece
This chapter does a comparative evaluation of the basic characteristics and system features of
fi ve
well-known
and extensively used open source digital library software, namely, DSpace, Fedora, Greenstone, Keystone,
and EPrints. The findings are summarized in a score table along with cases where each system is considered
as most suitable are proposed.

Ian H.
Witten,
University of Waikato, New Zealand
David Bainbridge, University of Waikato, New Zealand
This chapter provides a definitive and coherent account of the Greenstone open source digital library project
developed at University of Waikato by its developers. In addition to its production system that is widely ad¬
opted globally, it also serves as a framework for digital library research. It outlines a strategy for reconciling
this conflict of these two different dimensions of the project in the future.

This chapter addresses the issues of resource discovery and the importance of using knowledge organization
tools to build digital libraries. A prototype Taxonomy Generation Tool, utilizing a hierarchical classification
of contents by subjects, was designed and built to categorize contents in the Greenstone Digital Library
software. The taxonomy template supports controlled vocabulary terms and allows users to select the labels
for the taxonomy structure.

This chapter demonstrates how digital archives, and in particular, its derivative in the form of virtual exhibi¬
tions can be developed using the multimedia digital contents of the archives. It presents a number of concepts
and design considerations and illustrates this with a proposed generic system architecture that encapsulates
the important issues of metadata, system architecture design, and developmental techniques for creating ef¬
fective and usable virtual exhibitions.

Standardization of Terms Applying Finite-State Transducers (FST)
.........................................................102
Carmen Galvez, University of Granada, Spain
This chapter introduces the standardization methods of terms using the two basic approaches, computational
and linguistic techniques, and justifies the application of processes based on Finite-State Transducers (FST).
Standardization of terms is the procedure of matching and grouping together variants of the same term that
are semantically equivalent.
Chapter XI
Extracting the Essence: Automatic Text Summarization
...........................................................................113

Lee Wang, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Christopher
С
Yang, Drexel University, USA
This chapter presents a hierarchical summarization approach that generates a summary for a document based
on the hierarchical structure and salient features of the document. User evaluations conducted by the authors
indicate that the hierarchical summarization outperforms traditional summarization.

Semantic Association Analysis in Ontology-Based Information Retrieval
..............................................131
Payam M. Barnaghi, University of Nottingham, Malaysia
Wei Wang, University of Nottingham, Malaysia
Jayan C. Kurian, University of Nottingham, Malaysia
This chapter firstly introduces various approaches towards ontology development, ontology population from
heterogeneous data sources, semantic association discovery, semantic association ranking and presentation,
and social network analysis. Then the authors present their approach for an ontology-based information
search and retrieval.
Chapter
XIV
Effective and Efficient Browsing of Large Image Databases
....................................................................142
Gerald Schaefer, Aston University, UK
This chapter presents an effective and efficient approach for managing image databases which allow user-
centred navigation and visualisation of complete image collections. Image thumbnails are projected onto a
spherical surface so that images that are visually similar are located close to each other in the visualisation
space. Images are placed on regular grid structure to avoid overlapping and occlusion effect while large
databases are handled through a clustering technique paired with a hierarchical tree structure which allows
for intuitive real-time browsing experience.

Using Topic-Specific Ranks to Personalize Web Search
...........................................................................188
Sofia Stamou, Patras University, Greece
This chapter introduces a personalized ranking function that encapsulates the user interests in the process of
ordering retrieved results so as to meet the user needs. The ranking function relies on a lexical ontology that
encodes a number of concepts and their inter-relations, and determines the semantics of both the query key¬
words and the query matching pages. Based on the correlation between the query and document semantics,
it decides upon the ordering of search results so that these are personalized.

-Learning.
476
Han Lee Yen, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Educators and learners have long relied on libraries as their main sources of learning resources and libraries
have in turn provided the infrastructure that promotes the creation, assimilation, and leverage of knowledge.
However, with the growth of
е
-learning in recent years, libraries are facing new challenges to the way they
develop, manage, and deliver their services and resources to their users. This chapter discusses how libraries
can meet these challenges by providing electronic or partially electronic services.

This chapter aims to discuss the development of digital libraries in Pakistan. It gives an account of the digital
transformation taking place in the country and reviews a few digital library initiatives. It discusses a number
of issues associated with the development of digital libraries with specific reference to Pakistan. The major
issues appear are as follows: misconception about digital libraries; lack of technological applications; lack of
human resources with needed skills; copyright and publishing; cultural divide; digital divide; and insufficient
financial support. The authors believe that understanding the underlying issues will not only accelerate the
development of DL in Pakistan, but also in other developing countries with more or less common environ¬
ment.
