Wu, Chien-Hsing; Kao, Shu-Chen; Shih, Lan-Hsin – Behaviour & Information Technology, 2010
The transfer of tacit knowledge, one of the most important issues in the knowledge sharing context, needs a multi-dimensional perception in its process. Information technology's (IT) supporting role has already been addressed in the process of tacit knowledge transfer. However, IT has its own characteristics, and in turn, may have dissimilar…

Reed, Patricia Ann; Sledge, Jane – Library Trends, 1988
Describes work in progress at the Smithsonian Institution in developing a system to understand and articulate the information needed to support collection related functions. The discussion covers the data modeling methodology used and the advantages of this methodology in structuring museum collections information. (one reference) (CLB)

Chenhall, Robert G. – 1975
Several museum information processing systems are discussed in relation to their underlying assumptions regarding museum information and networking needs that have resulted in inadequate service to some kinds of museums, particularly historical museums. Rather than any of these systems, a modular approach is proposed that would allow each museum…

Greenberg, Jane – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2001
Explores what might be the optimal query expansion (QE) processing method with semantically coded thesauri. Examines whether QE via semantically coded thesauri terminology is more effective in the "automatic" or "interactive" processing environment. Results revealed that synonyms and partial synonyms and narrower terms are…

Cheng, Kwok-Shing; Young, Gilbert H.; Wong, Kam-Fai – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1999
Experimental results show that a word-based arithmetic-coding scheme, a fractional-bit compression algorithm which is known to be time consuming, can achieve a higher compression performance for Chinese text. This article examines how to cascade the word-segmentation model with a faster alternative, the integral-bit compression algorithm.…

Claybrook, Billy G. – 1973
The computer language FOL is intended to facilitate the implementation of file organizations for information storage and retrieval systems. In many information storage and retrieval applications the designer, initially, does not know how best to organize a data base for efficient retrieval and ease of updating and modifying. It is felt that FOL…

Gottlieb, Lisa; Dilevko, Juris – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2003
Examines personal preferences in the development of categorical folders for bookmarks in terms of both the choice and definition of folder domain and the overall structure of the folder system. Considers contextual factors, such as intended use and relevancy to current projects; and navigational preferences. (Author/LRW)

Cole, Charles; Mandelblatt, Bertie – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 2000
Uses Kintsch's proposition-based construction-integration theory of discourse comprehension to detail the user coding operations that occur in each of the three subsystems (Perception, Comprehension, Application) in which users process an information retrieval systems (IRS) message. Describes an IRS device made up of two separate parts that enable…

Sullo, Pasquale; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1979
Discusses a reliability theoretic construct focusing on information produced to satisfy specified purposes or achieve preconceived objectives. When measures of system reliability and sensitivity analyses are performed, the result is a closer congruence between the objectives of the data producer and user requirements. (Author/MBR)

Egghe, L. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1999
Zipf's law states that if words in a text are arranged in decreasing order of occurrence, then the product of the rank of a word and the number of times it occurs is a constant of that text. Examination of the probabilities of occurrence of multi-word phrases in information retrieval in relation to the probabilities of occurrence of single words…

Breazeal, Juliette Ow – 1986
This study examines the integration of heterogeneous bibliographic information resources from geographically distributed locations in an automated, unified, and controlled way using abstract data types called "classes" through the Message-Object Model defined in Smalltalk-80 software. The concept of achieving data consistency by…

Salton, Gerard; And Others – Information Processing & Management, 1996
Text similarity measurements are used to determine relationships between natural-language texts and text excerpts. The resulting linked hypertext maps can be broken down into text segments and themes used to identify different text types and structures, leading to improved information access and utilization. Examples are provided for text…

Myers, Edward M.; Topping, James R. – 1974
The Information Exchange Procedures (IEP) developed by the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems (NCHEMS) are a set of standard definitions and procedures for collecting information about disciplines and student degree programs, outcomes of instructional programs, and general institutional characteristics. These definitions and…

Okamoto, T.; Miyahara, K. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1998
The purpose of this study was to develop an information filtering system which collects, classifies, selects, and stores various kinds of information found through the Internet. A collaborative form of information gathering was examined and a model was built and implemented in the Internet information space. (AEF)
