Digital libraries are libraries in which collections are stored in digital formats (as opposed to print, microform, or other media) and accessible by computers.

Multimedia Storage and Retrieval Innovations for Digital Library Systems offers the latest research on retrieval and storage methods for digital library systems, a burgeoning field of data sourcing. In order to stay abreast of the latest terminology, case studies, frameworks, architectures, methodologies, and research within the field of digital libraries, it is crucial to keep up with the latest literature. The information in this compendium comes from contributing authors and experts around the world, making it a one of a kind addition to any research library.

Preface

Chapters

Chapter 1

Experiences with Developing a User-Centered Digital Library (pages 1-21)

Elahe Kani-Zabihi, Gheorghita Ghinea, Sherry Y. Chen

The purpose of this study was to find out whether users should be involved in the design stage of a Digital Library (DL). Hence an experiment has been undertaken to find out the level of user satisfaction with a user-centred DL (UDL)...

Chapter 2

First Person Singular: A Digital Library Collection that Helps Second Language Learners Express Themselves (pages 22-40)

Shaoqun Wu, Ian H. Witten

We use digital library technology to help language learners express themselves by capitalizing on the human-generated text available on the Web. From a massive collection of n-grams and their occurrence frequencies we extract...

Chapter 3

Beyond Institutional Repositories (pages 41-58)

Laurent Romary, Chris Armbruster

The current system of so-called institutional repositories, even if it was a sensible response at an earlier stage, may not answer the needs of the scholarly community, scientific communication and accompanied stakeholders in a...

Chapter 4

Sports Information Retrieval for Video Annotation (pages 59-84)

Hua-Tsung Chen, Wen-Jiin Tsai, Suh-Yin Lee

The rapid evolution of digital equipments has led to the explosive proliferation of multimedia data in education, entertainment, sport and various applications. The development of automatic or semi-automatic systems and tools for...

Chapter 5

Investigating Language Skills and Field of Knowledge on Multilingual Information Access in Digital Libraries (pages 85-100)

Paul Clough, Irene Eleta

Digital libraries remove physical barriers to accessing information, but the language barrier still remains due to multilingual collections and the linguistic diversity of users. This study aims at understanding the effect of users’...

Chapter 6

A Content-Driven System Architecture for Tackling Automatic Cataloging of Animated Movie Databases (pages 101-123)

Bogdan Ionescu, Alexandru Marin, Patrick Lambert, Didier Coquin, Constantin Vertan

This article discusses content-based access to video information in large video databases and particularly, to retrieve animated movies. The authors examine temporal segmentation, and propose cut, fade and dissolve detection methods...

Chapter 7

A Multiple-Instance Learning Based Approach to Multimodal Data Mining (pages 124-142)

Zhongfei (Mark) Zhang, Zhen Guo, Jia-Yu Pan

This paper presents multiple-instance learning based approach to multimodal data mining in a multimedia database. This approach is a highly scalable and adaptable framework that the authors call co-learning. Theoretic analysis and...

Chapter 8

A Bayesian Image Retrieval Framework (pages 143-159)

Rui Zhang, Ling Guan

Conventional approaches to content-based image retrieval exploit low-level visual information to represent images and relevance feedback techniques to incorporate human knowledge into the retrieval process, which can only alleviate...

Chapter 9

Annotating Historical Archives of Images (pages 160-182)

Xiaoyue Wang, Lexiang Ye, Eamonn J. Keogh, Christian R. Shelton

Recent programs like the Million Book Project and Google Print Library Project have archived several million books in digital format, and within a few years a significant fraction of world’s books will be online. While the majority...

Chapter 10

Understanding Digital Documents Using Gestalt Properties of Isothetic Components (pages 183-207)

Shyamosree Pal, Partha Bhowmick, Arindam Biswas, Bhargab B. Bhattacharya

This paper introduces how Gestalt properties can be used for identifying various components in a document image. That the human mind makes a holistic approach to vision rather than a disintegrated approach is shown to be useful for...

Chapter 11

A Probabilistic SVM Approach to Annotation of Calcification Mammograms (pages 208-222)

Chia-Hung Wei, Sherry Y. Chen

Due to the increasing use of digital medical images, a need exists to develop an approach for automatic image annotation, which provides textual labels for images. Thus added labels can be used to access images using textual queries....

Chapter 12

3D Face Reconstruction from Two Orthogonal Images for Face Recognition Applications (pages 223-239)

Stefano Berretti, Alberto Del Bimbo, Pietro Pala

In this paper, an original hybrid 2D-3D face recognition approach is proposed using two orthogonal face images, frontal and side views of the face, to reconstruct the complete 3D geometry of the face. This is obtained using a model...

Chapter 13

Nested Partitions Properties for Spatial Content Image Retrieval (pages 240-269)

Dmitry Kinoshenko, Vladimir Mashtalir, Vladislav Shlyakhov, Elena Yegorova

In this paper, a metric on partitions of arbitrary measurable sets and its special properties for metrical content-based image retrieval based on the ‘spatial’ semantic of images is proposed. This approach considers images...

Chapter 14

Logical Structure Recovery in Scholarly Articles with Rich Document Features (pages 270-292)

Minh-Thang Luong, Thuy Dung Nguyen, Min-Yen Kan

Scholarly digital libraries increasingly provide analytics to information within documents themselves. This includes information about the logical document structure of use to downstream components, such as search, navigation, and...

Chapter 15

Sampling the Web as Training Data for Text Classification (pages 293-310)

Wei-Yen Day, Chun-Yi Chi, Ruey-Cheng Chen, Pu-Jen Cheng

Data acquisition is a major concern in text classification. The excessive human efforts required by conventional methods to build up quality training collection might not always be available to research workers. In this paper, the...

Chapter 16

QiVMDL - Towards a Socially Constructed Virtual Museum and Digital Library for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage: A Case of the Chinese “Qipao” (pages 311-328)

Yin-Leng Theng, Yanling Luo, Gladys Theng Sau-Mei

Museums and libraries are treasure houses of human history and knowledge with rich repositories on cultural heritage. With advanced technological developments in digital libraries and Web 2.0, cultural institutions are beginning to...

Chapter 17

Comparing Repository Types: Challenges and Barriers for Subject-Based Repositories, Research Repositories, National Repository Systems and Institutional Repositories in Serving Scholarly Communication (pages 329-341)

Chris Armbruster, Laurent Romary

After two decades of repository development, some conclusions may be drawn as to which type of repository and what kind of service best supports digital scholarly communication. In this regard, four types of publication repository...
