Abstract

Presents views on the general theme of the advent of a future that may eliminate libraries. Describes the negative effects that the Information Age may bring and presents a vision in which the Age of Cyberspace might well rescue many developed and developing countries. Full, functional literacy might be achieved worldwide by means of the new information technology. Humanity could be liberated from ignorance through developments in communications and learning via the Cyberspace. Universal participation in democracy and human civilization may be made possible and there may be a global renaissance whereby all societies and individuals will take advantage of the technological advances, while avoiding losing their own authentic cultures and learning other faits, doctrines and cultural values in a spirit of tolerance and harmony

Abstract

In this article, I propose the concept of resonance as a useful one for describing what it means to experience relevance. Based on an extensive interdisciplinary review, I provide a novel framework that presents resonance as a spectrum of experience with a multitude of outcomes ranging from a sense of harmony and coherence to life transformation. I argue that resonance has different properties to the more traditional interpretation of relevance and provides a better system of explanation of what it means to experience relevance. I show how traditional approaches to relevance and resonance work in a complementary fashion and outline how resonance may present distinct new lines of research into relevance theory.

Abstract

Suchmaschinen sind der wichtigste Zugangsweg zum Auffinden neuer Netzinhalte. Insgesamt verwendeten nach einer repräsentativen Studie im dritten Quartal 2005 fast 85 Prozent der deutschen Internetnutzer Suchmaschinen. Diese sind inzwischen auch ein Big Business: Gemessen am Börsenwert ist die Suchmaschine Google mit einem Gesamtwert von 80 Mrd. Dollar das wertvollste Medienunternehmen der Welt. Der Konzerngewinn stieg von 2004 auf 2005 um 367 Prozent auf 1,5 Mrd. Dollar. Als Gatekeeper im Internet stellen die Suchmaschinen eine zentrale Herausforderung für Wissenschaft und Forschung dar - letztlich geht es um die Frage der "digitalen Informationsmacht". Mit diesem Band liegt erstmals eine Publikation vor, die die Rolle von Suchmaschinen in der Informationsgesellschaft in den wichtigsten Dimensionen aus verschiedenen Perspektiven wissenschaftlich beleuchtet und dabei hilft, die künftige Suchmaschinenforschung zu systematisieren.

Der Band geht auf die internationale Tagung Die wachsende Macht von Suchmaschinen im Internet: Auswirkungen auf User, Medienpolitik und Medienbusiness bestehend aus einem interdisziplinären wissenschaftlichen Workshop am 26. Juni 2006 und einer Publikumskonferenz am 27. Juni 2006 in Berlin zurück, die vom Lehrstuhl für Journalistik II der Universität Leitung und dem Lehrstuhl für Internationalen Journalismus der UniversitSt Dortmund in Kooperation mit der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, Bereich Medien und Politik, veranstaltet worden ist. In drei Kapiteln werden die zentralen Forschungsfelder aufgegriffen: Das erste Kapitel behandelt die wichtigsten Aspekte im Bereich der Suchmaschinenregulierung und -ökonomie. Es werden Herausforderungen transparent gemacht, die sich gegenwärtig in der Entwicklung befindlichen Regulierungsstrukturen analysiert und Lösungswege erarbeitet. Das zweite Kapitel beschäftigt sich, zum ersten Mal in Form einer Publikation, mit dem Verhältnis von Suchmaschinen und Journalismus. Dabei ist die Frage, inwieweit Suchmaschinen einerseits journalistische Funktionen übernehmen und andererseits Journalisten als Rechercheinstrument dienen und wie sich hierdurch das Gefüge des bisherigen Massenkommunikationssystems verändert, von entscheidender Bedeutung.
Im dritten Kapitel werden die Qualität von Suchmaschinen und das Nutzerverhalten näher beleuchtet. Erkenntnisse über die Güte von Suchmaschinen sind von großer Relevanz, um deren Rolle bei der Informationsvermittlung in einer Gesellschaft angemessen beurteilen zu können. Der Band liefert hier neue Ansätze und Vorschläge, da die Frage nach der Qualität von Suchmaschinen noch nicht ausreichend beantwortet worden ist. Zum anderen ist die Analyse des Nutzerverhaltens grundlegend, um Schlussfolgerungen für die Medienkompetenz als zentrale Schlüsselqualifikation im Informationszeitalter ziehen zu können. Unter den Autoren sind viele der international führende Experten auf dem Gebiet Suchmaschinen, darunter Wissenschaftler der Universitäten Harvard, Yale und Columbia sowie der London School of Economics und der Pariser Sorbonne. Darüber hinaus wurden auch Beiträge von Praktikern, allesamt leitende Redakteure oder Verantwortliche in Medienunternehmen aufgenommen, um deren Erkenntnisse für die Thematik fruchtbar zu machen. Der Band richtet sich neben der Wissenschaft auch an die Praxis, vor allem die Medienaufsicht und -ökonomie sowie an den Journalismus. Er bietet aber auch der allgemein interessierten Öffentlichkeit einen fundierten Einblick in die bisher wenig erforschte Welt der Suchmaschinen.

Abstract

Metadata interoperability is a fundamental requirement for access to information within networked knowledge organization systems. The Harmony international digital library project [1] has developed a common underlying data model (the ABC model) to enable the scalable mapping of metadata descriptions across domains and media types. The ABC model [2] provides a set of basic building blocks for metadata modeling and recognizes the importance of 'events' to describe unambiguously metadata for objects with a complex history. To test and evaluate the interoperability capabilities of this model, we applied it to some real multimedia examples and analysed the results of mapping from the ABC model to various different metadata domains using XSLT [3]. This work revealed serious limitations in the ability of XSLT to support flexible dynamic semantic mapping. To overcome this, we developed MetaNet [4], a metadata term thesaurus which provides the additional semantic knowledge that is non-existent within declarative XML-encoded metadata descriptions. This paper describes MetaNet, its RDF Schema [5] representation and a hybrid mapping approach which combines the structural and syntactic mapping capabilities of XSLT with the semantic knowledge of MetaNet, to enable flexible and dynamic mapping among metadata standards.

Abstract

This article describes two approaches for searching heterogeneous resources, which are explained as they are used in two corresponding existing systems-RIRS (Resource Integration Retrieval System) and HRUSP (Heterogeneous Resource Union Search Platform). On analyzing the existing systems, a possible framework-the MUSP (Multimetadata-Based Union Search Platform) is presented. Libraries now face a dilemma. On one hand, libraries subscribe to many types of database retrieval systems that are produced by various providers. The libraries build their data and information systems independently. This results in highly heterogeneous and distributed systems at the technical level (e.g., different operating systems and user interfaces) and at the conceptual level (e.g., the same objects are named using different terms). On the other hand, end users want to access all these heterogeneous data via a union interface, without having to know the structure of each information system or the different retrieval methods used by the systems. Libraries must achieve a harmony between information providers and users. In order to bridge the gap between the service providers and the users, it would seem that all source databases would need to be rebuilt according to a uniform data structure and query language, but this seems impossible. Fortunately, however, libraries and information and technology providers are now making an effort to find a middle course that meets the requirements of both data providers and users. They are doing this through resource integration.

Abstract

The relationship between information and control interests social scientists; however, much prior work has focused on organizations rather than families. Work on interactive information behaviors has also focused on organizations and on collaboration rather than conflict. Therefore, in families managing chronic illness, we investigated information behaviors in the context of health-related social control and the impact of control on patient health behavior. We conducted a qualitative analysis of interviews with 38 family groups and 97 individuals over 2 years. Findings revealed conflictual information behavior, which led to competitions for control and influence between family members and patients. In response to perceived patient health behavior-related problems, family members sought, shared, and used information for social control of patients by enforcing norms, leveraging expertise, performing surveillance, and structuring the environment. These behaviors clashed with patients' interests and perspectives drawn from their own information acquisition. Patients responded by assessing family-presented information and using information to resist or appease norm enforcement, refute or agree with expertise, and permit or block surveillance. Over time, some patient behaviors changed; alternatively, patients blocked family access to information about themselves, or family members retreated. The results challenge presumptions of benefit and harmony that have characterized much prior information behavior research.

Footnote

The sixth chapter looks at this interfacing of humans and machines and begins with a series of questions. The crucial one, to my mind, is this: "Does the distinction between humans and technology contribute to a lack of understanding of the continuous interrelationship and interdependence that exists between humans and all of their creations?" (p. 125) Burnett suggests that to use biological or mechanical views of the computer/mind (the computer as an input/output device) Limits our understanding of the ways in which we interact with machines. He thus points to the role of language, the conversations (including the one we held with machines when we were children) that seem to suggest a wholly different kind of relationship. Peer-to-peer communication (P2P), which is arguably the most widely used exchange mode of images today, is the subject of chapter seven. The issue here is whether P2P affects community building or community destruction. Burnett argues that the trope of community can be used to explore the flow of historical events that make up a continuum-from 17th-century letter writing to e-mail. In the new media-and Burnett uses the example of popular music which can be sampled, and reedited to create new compositions - the interpretive space is more flexible. Private networks can be set up, and the process of information retrieval (about which Burnett has already expended considerable space in the early chapters) involves a lot more of visualization. P2P networks, as Burnett points out, are about information management. They are about the harmony between machines and humans, and constitute a new ecology of communications. Turning to computer games, Burnett looks at the processes of interaction, experience, and reconstruction in simulated artificial life worlds, animations, and video images. For Burnett (like Andrew Darley, 2000 and Richard Doyle, 2003) the interactivity of the new media games suggests a greater degree of engagement with imageworlds. Today many facets of looking, listening, and gazing can be turned into aesthetic forms with the new media. Digital technology literally reanimates the world, as Burnett demonstrates in bis concluding chapter. Burnett concludes that images no longer simply represent the world-they shape our very interaction with it; they become the foundation for our understanding the spaces, places, and historical moments that we inhabit. Burnett concludes his book with the suggestion that intelligence is now a distributed phenomenon (here closely paralleling Katherine Hayles' argument that subjectivity is dispersed through the cybernetic circuit, 1999). There is no one center of information or knowledge. Intersections of human creativity, work, and connectivity "spread" (Burnett's term) "intelligence through the use of mediated devices and images, as well as sounds" (p. 221).

The chapters are generally less than 20 pages, which allows for concise presentations of each case study. Each chapter contains, more or less, a brief abstract, introduction, related works section, methodology section, conclusion, and references. The chapters are further categorized into six thematic sections. Section I focuses on the history of digital libraries in the Asia Pacific. Section II, composed of four chapters, focuses on the design architecture and systems of digital libraries. The next five chapters, in section III, examine challenges in implementing digital library systems. This section is particularly interesting because issues such as multicultural and multilingual barriers are discussed. Section IV is about the use of and impact of digital libraries in a society. All four chapters in this section emphasize improvements that need to be made to digital libraries regarding different types of users. Particularly important is chapter 14, which discusses digital libraries and their effects on youth. The conclusion of this case study revealed that digital libraries need to support peer learning, as there are many social benefits for youth from interacting with peers. Section V, which focuses on users and usability, consists of five chapters. This section relates directly to the implementation challenges that are mentioned in section III, providing specific examples of cross-cultural issues among users that need to be taken into consideration. In addition, section V discusses the differences in media types and the difficulties with transforming these resources into digital formats. For example, chapter 18, which is about designing a music digital library, demonstrates the difficulties in selecting from the numerous types of technologies that can be used to digitize library collections. Finally, the chapter in section VI discusses the future trends of digital libraries. The editors successfully present diverse perspectives about digital libraries, by including case studies performed in numerous different countries throughout the Asia Pacific region. Countries represented in the case studies include Indonesia, Taiwan, India, China, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Philippines, Japan, and Malaysia. The diversity of the users in these countries helps to illustrate the numerous differences and similarities that digital library designers need to take into consideration in the future when developing a universal digital library system. In order to create a successful digital library system that can benefit all users, there must be a sense of balance in the technology used, and the authors of the case studies in this book have definitely proved that there are distinct barriers that need to be overcome in order to achieve this harmony.

What Is CAIDA? Association for Internet Data Analysis, started in 1997 and is based in the San Diego Supercomputer Center. CAIDA is led by KC Claffy along with a staff of serious Net techie researchers and grad students, and they are one of the worlds leading teams of academic researchers studying how the Internet works [6] . Their mission is "to provide a neutral framework for promoting greater cooperation in developing and deploying Internet measurement, analysis, and visualization tools that will support engineering and maintaining a robust, scaleable global Internet infrastructure." In addition to the Walrus visualization tool and the skitter monitoring system which we have touched on here, CAIDA has many other interesting projects mapping the infrastructure and operations of the global Internet. Two of my particular favorite visualization projects developed at CAIDA are MAPNET and Plankton [7] . MAPNET provides a useful interactive tool for mapping ISP backbones onto real-world geography. You can select from a range of commercial and research backbones and compare their topology of links overlaid on the same map. (The major problem with MAPNET is that is based on static database of ISP backbones links, which has unfortunately become obsolete over time.) Plankton, developed by CAIDA researchers Bradley Huffaker and Jaeyeon Jung, is an interactive tool for visualizing the topology and traffic on the global hierarchy of Web caches.
