Jeong, Wooseob – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2001
This study consists of two experiments. Pitch, volume, and tempo in auditory-haptic geographic information systems were compared in terms of effectiveness for multimodal interface; volume was determined to be better. Auditory display with volume and haptic display with vibration were compared and the results showed that, in more complex geographic…

Christian, Phillip – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2001
Explores how the 6-D framework can form the core of a comprehensive systemic strategy and help provide a supporting structure for more robust design and development while allowing organizations to support whatever methods and models best suit their purpose. 6-D stands for the phases of Web design and development: Discovery, Definition, Design,…

Mu, Xiangming; Marchionini, Gary – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
Presents an enriched video metadata framework including video authorization using the Video Annotation and Summarization Tool (VAST)-a video metadata authorization system that integrates both semantic and visual metadata-- metadata integration, and user level applications. Results demonstrated that the enriched metadata were seamlessly…

Choe, In-Sook; Chung, Young-Mee – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2001
Presents a text summarization system and examines its validity by comparing automatically generated summaries with human-generated ones. Examines the accuracy of the system by evaluating the representativeness of cue verbs and basic sentence patterns, as well as the essential information in a summary. Also analyzes syntactic and semantic errors of…

Oard, Douglas; Kim, Jinmook – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2001
Presents a framework for modeling the content of information objects such as documents and video programs based on observation of how users interact with those objects in the course of information seeking and use. Identifies four categories of potentially observable user behaviors: examination, retention, reference, and annotation. (AEF)
