Mixed studies reviews include empirical studies with diverse designs (qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods). To make the process of identifying relevant empirical studies for such reviews more efficient, we developed a mixed filter that included different keywords and subject headings for quantitative (e.g., cohort study), qualitative…

The construction industry is a knowledge intensive industry. Thousands of documents are generated by construction projects. Documents, as information carriers, must be managed effectively to ensure successful project management. The fact that a single project can produce thousands of documents and that a lot of the documents are generated in a…

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to develop a system for automatic extraction of metadata from scientific papers in PDF format for the information system for monitoring the scientific research activity of the University of Novi Sad (CRIS UNS). Design/methodology/approach: The system is based on machine learning and performs automatic extraction…

Purpose: This study is an attempt to develop an automatic identification method for Arabic web queries and divide them into several query types using data mining. In addition, it seeks to evaluate the impact of the academic environment on using the internet. Design/methodology/approach: The web log files were collected from one of the higher…

Surveys the most recent developments in the complete revision or reform of the Universal Decimal Classification. (Author/PF)

Its purpose is to provide OE officials with up-to-date information about the Office's discretionary grant programs and projects. The purpose of the Taxonomy is to provide: (1) those individuals who…

Presents entirely automatic methods for gathering documents for a hypertext, for linking the set, and for annotating those connections with a description of the type (that is, the nature) of the link. Document linking is based on information retrieval similarity measures with adjustable levels of strictness. Evaluation problems are also…

Discusses the use of information retrieval techniques for the automatic authoring of hypertext. Presents a typology of hypertext links, describes examples of automatic construction of hypertext, and considers evaluation problems. (LRW)

Describes an alternative method for indexing images in an image database. The method consists of manually indexing a selected reference image, and then using retrieval by graphical content to automatically transfer the manually assigned index terms from the reference image to the images to be indexed.

Mechanization has been introduced in the preparation of UDC and alphabetical indexes using a KWIC Program to access directly documentation files. A special feature of the system is that the KWIC serial number equals the program sorting number equals the encoded UDC form equals the storage or shelving number. (9 references) (Author/NH)

Evaluates the retrieval performance of an algorithm that automatically categorizes medical documents, which consists in assigning an International Code of Disease (ICD) based on well-known information retrieval techniques. Reports on experimental results that tested precision using a database of over 20,000 medical documents. (Author/LRW)

Discusses the role of certain types of classifications in a modern automated environment. (Author/PF)

INTERACTIVE COMPUTER SYSTEMS ESTABLISH A DIALOG BETWEEN THE MAN AND THE MACHINE. BY MEANS OF DISPLAYS, THE USER RECEIVES IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK OF THE RESULT OF HIS ACTIONS, AND HE IS ABLE TO MODIFY HIS DECISIONS IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A SYSTEM RESPONSE THAT IS MOST RELEVANT TO HIS NEEDS. BOLD (BIBLIOGRAPHIC ON-LINE DISPLAY) IS AN EXAMPLE OF A HIGHLY…
