The purpose of this study is to present the limitation of terminological relationships in the current information environment and to propose a solution to result the richer and refined terminological resources. For this, various kinds of terminological relationships in knowledge organization systems and theoretical researches were collected and analyzed. Based upon the analysis, a methodology for classification of terminological relationships was suggested and classification models were presented. Additionally, four suggestions were made for the practical uses of the classification models.

Abstract

This study proposes a template-based method of automatic summarization of multiple news articles using the semantic categories of sentences. First, the semantic categories for core information to be included in a summary are identified from training set of documents and their summaries. Then, cue words for each slot of the template are selected for later classification of news sentences into relevant slots. When a news article is input, its event/accident category is identified, and key sentences are extracted from the news article and filled in the relevant slots. The template filled with simple sentences rather than original long sentences is used to generate a summary for an event/accident. In the user evaluation of the generated summaries, the results showed the 54.1% recall ratio and the 58.1% precision ratio in essential information extraction and 11.6% redundancy ratio.

Abstract

The most widely used information searching method in the current internet environment is the keyword-based one, which has certain limitations in terms of precision and recall. Most major internet portals provide directory-based searching as a means to complement these limitations. However, that they adopt different classification schemes brings significant inconvenience to the users, and it consequently suggests a need to develop mapping gateway to provide cross-portal, or cross-directory information searching. In this context, this study attempts to develop a prototype system of intermediary gateway for integrated search, using the directory services of three major portals, Naver, Yahoo and Empas, and test its performance.

Abstract

This study attempts to derive an economic analysis model for journal evaluation and conducts a case analysis based on the model. Total costs are calculated and include administrative fees (such as binding, ordering, claiming, etc.) and subscription costs. The model quantifies qualitative benefits to users, a utility that combines usage data that has also been evaluated in the existing economic analysis models. The model is designed to tallly the usage statistics of the web-based electronic journals, which have become important resources for research. Rankings are assigned based on how items are utilized to the goal of the mother institution. In the case study based on the KDI School Library, the highest ranking of 3 was assigned to journals that patrons used for citation in their outputs. For journals that were used background information, i.e. full text downloading or browsing, each was assigned ranking of 2 and 1, respectively. According to the analysis, the top 20 journals provided 75% of the entire library utility, showing different user behaviors among different cohorts. We expect that the model makes it possible for librarians to measure the value of journals. It can provide a basic tool for journal selection, particularly in special libraries with custom needs.

Abstract

University library in university organization needs more to innovating with through information management systems. In this paper introduced IMS to university library in Korea. In this paper investigated difference of recognition between college and university about IMS. The samples (n=67) were composed of those who had already engaged in university library and college. The results of this study were as follows; Most participants who was considerate no more important to mind for IMS introduction. Then, the results of ANOVA analysis was recognized employee's about IMS that among of the best problems was negative(-) effect to introduction necessary and introduction timeless of IMS was insignified with F=0.469(p=0.497), sig=0.05. and F=2.410(p=0.125), sig=0.05. By the way, education necessary of IMS was signified with F=7.470(p=0.008), sig=0.01. Finally, in this paper provided the fundamental data for the standardization and transparency related to policy establish of university library for introducing of IMS.

Abstract

The University of Northern Iowa Rod Library has mission statement that a personalized learning environment founded on the strong liberal arts curriculum and to supporting an intellectually and culturally diverse community. The Rod Library has been developing the strategic plans by 5 years since 1987. Recently, the strategy has been faced need to measure of performance how much does make it up.

In addition, this study presented the success performance indicators measuring the strategic goals of each perspectives and the cause-effect model driving the lead indicators of performance.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the accessibility of web resources contained in the references section of journal articles. I was identified a total of 1,377 web citations for a major journal in information science over a ten year period. The results show that the accessible ratio of domestic web resources was at 40% and the ratio of foreign web resources about 50%. The accessible ratio of domain type web resources was shown 58% while the same ratio for file type web resources was 45%. This low accessibility of we resources in references poses threat to the overall value of journal articles.

In conclusion, the hierarchical language model proved to be most effective in element-based XML document retrieval with regard to the improved exhaustivity and harmed specificity.

Abstract

This research suggested a new patent information based on patent citation technique using cited information. For this purpose, comparison research on library and patent information related citation database providing citation index was done. The information quality and meaning on the impact factor of JCR and the technology factor of CHI was reinterpreted. The former emphasizes the quality of continuous publication using relative citation frequency. The latter only emphasizes the information itself because it assesses the quality of patent characteristics. To overcome these difficulties, the latter re-authorized a relative quality to the organization possessing the patent using technology impact factor. Three new patent index was proposed on the basis of cited information to complement this. However, the comparative object was limited to American patent information that presented cited information of patent applied cases, and the comparison and research of domestic patent information could not be done.

Abstract

This paper examines the values of various library functions according to users' points of view. To execute this study, the several 'circumstance', related variables and 'condition' variables that lead to factors or functions of academic libraries were measured.Analysis was carried out in three stages. In the first, factor analysis was used on the three multi variable dimensions to ensure that the groups of variables loaded significantly and uniquely on the respective dimensions. The second phase of analysis involved the use of binary logistic regression analysis to complete research models. In the third phase, t-test was used to identify significant differences in the independent variables for additional explanation of the models. Books, competition & effectiveness and fee verses free (fee-free hereafter) are the three main factors that distinguish not only the purpose of using an academic library but also the degree of influence on knowledge, information and library facilities for the users. In addition, the fee-free factor related to digital library facilities was also uncovered.

Abstract

This study utilizes various approaches of machine learning in the process of automatically assigning descriptors to journal articles. After selecting core journals in the field of information science and organizing test collection from the articles of the past 11 years, the effectiveness of feature selection and the size of training set was examined. In the regard of feature selection, after reducing the feature set by χ2 statistics(CHI) and criteria which prefer high-frequency features(COS, GSS, JAC), the trained Support Vector Machines(SVM) performs the best. With respective to the size of the training set, it significantly influences the performance of Support Vector Machines(SVM) and Voted Perceptron(VTP). but it scarcely affects that of Naive Bayes(NB).
