Due to the rapid advances in computing and sensing technologies, enormous amounts of data are being generated everyday in various applications. The integration of data mining and data visualization has been widely used to analyze these massive and complex data sets to discover hidden patterns. For both data mining and visualization to be…

An ontology is an effective formal representation of knowledge used commonly in artificial intelligence, semantic web, software engineering, and information retrieval. In open and distance learning, ontologies are used as knowledge bases for e-learning supplements, educational recommenders, and question answering systems that support students with…

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…

The study of this dissertation provides a solution to a very specific problem instance in the area of data mining, data warehousing, and service-oriented architecture in publishing and newspaper industries. The research question focuses on the integration of data mining and data warehousing. The research problem focuses on the development of…

With the dramatic growth of text information, there is an increasing need for powerful text mining systems that can automatically discover useful knowledge from text. Text is generally associated with all kinds of contextual information. Those contexts can be explicit, such as the time and the location where a blog article is written, and the…

The research has contributed toward establishing a discipline of information science since it shows that fundamental principles dealing with communication exist and can be applied to pracitcal problems. Several courses and Ph.D. dissertations grew out of the research. (Author)

The progress made on 65 contracts and grants active during 1968 in the four areas designated by the COSATI subject headings: (1) documentation and information technology, (2) language and linguistics, (3) bionics and (4) information theory are presented. Selected highlights of the program are given in the introductory chapter. This is followed by…

The chair of scientific information at the Leningrad State Institute of Culture has worked out a preliminary syllabus on informatics for the Technical Libraries Department. The syllabus comprises the following topics: Informatics as a scientific discipline, Organization of information work, Information provision techniques, Information retrieval…

The unclassified and unlimited bibliography compiles references dealing specifically with the role of computers in information sciences. The volume contains 239 annotated references grouped under three major headings: Artificial and Programming Languages, Computer Processing of Analog Data, and Computer Processing of Digital Data. The references…

Reported is a compilation of the data collected from a comprehensive evaluation of the Information Retrieval Center of the Northern Colorado Educational Board of Cooperative Services (NCEBOCS) The evaluation consists of an historical review of the Center (1967-1970), analysis of requests received, user reactions to the services, interviews with…

Various aspects of computer and information science and librarianship are discussed, including the problem of foreign language material increasing in the U.S. and Canada. (SM)

The scope of a manual-automated system serving the 40 libraries and the teaching and research community of Stanford University is defined. Also defined are the library operations to be supported and the bibliographic information storage and retrieval capabilities to be provided in the system. Two major projects have been working jointly on library…

This paper examines the relationship between democratic citizenship and information technology. Modern information technology disputes the idea that citizens can be properly educated to assume the burdens necessary to reap the blessing of freedom. Information technologies challenge the ability of citizens to fulfill the fundamental requirement of…

The papers in this volume constitute the proceedings of a symposium which examined the history, state-of-the-art and future utility of computer-based information systems. Emphasis is placed on the economics and potential uses of on-line interactive systems and their accompanying computer networks. Conceptual and descriptive papers dealing with the…

The symposium focused on advances in techniques in the computer oriented technology of information retrieval. Early developments and the status of recent efforts in document retrieval, question answering and data management systems are briefly reviewed. Unless fundamental processing techniques are developed and made available to workers,…
