Many important projects and perspectives have been omitted. Here we give some pointers to aid further exploration, and of course we encourage interested readers to attend the numerous conferences and workshops scheduled in this field, many sponsored by or in cooperation with ACM and its SIGs. One early journal special issue is introduced in [6]. It includes articles on copyright and intellectual property rights, a subscription model for handling funds transfer related to digital libraries, a description of the evolution of the WAIS search system in general and its interfaces in particular, an overview of the Right Pages system and its use of OCR and document analysis algorithms, and an early overview of the Envision system [7]. We note that to many, intellectual property rights issues and ways to obtain revenue streams to sustain digital libraries are the most important open problems. The largest digital library conference makes its proceedings available over the WWW [9]. These contain many insightful discussions, proposals of new research ideas, descriptions of base technologies, and explanations of how the broad concept of a digital library fits in with the needs of specific user communities and the information they require. Readers can find a variety of works on agents, architectures, catalogs, collaboration, compression, document analysis from OCR and page images, document structure, electronic journals, heterogeneous sources, knowledge-based approaches, library science, numerical data collections, object stores, and organizational usability. For more details on the origins of the Digital Library Initiative, and for a variety of perspectives on open research problems, we refer the reader to [5]. This work also has numerous pointers to people, projects, institutions, and other reference works in the area. For a perspective on the role the computer industry should have in this field, see [10]. This report outlines IBM’s perspective on key supporting technologies and on the unique challenges highlighted by the emergence of digital libraries. We expect considerable interest from the corporate sector as well as from government agencies in this important area of information technology. For lack of space, we have had to omit many publications on networking and storage technologies, sociological and ethnographic studies, library and information science, OCR and document analysis or conversion, and rights management. These and other works are needed to round out the discussion of digital libraries. However, we encourage you to read the rest of this issue as a good starting point for your future studies of this important field. We invite you to not only use but also help in the creation of a future World Digital Library System!

Digital libraries

The 1987 ACM Hypertext conference was seen by many as the catalyst for a significant period of growth in hypertext (and subsequently hypermedia) as a coherent research area and in its impact on the general public. The period since 1987 has been punctuated by many significant events, including the development and free distribution of HyperCard, the establishing of the ACM Hypertext conference series, the founding of SIGLINK/SIGWEB, the rapid growth in the market for CD-ROM based multimedia applications, the widespread adoption of the WWW leading to the first truly large-scale hypertext application and the popularisation and commercialisation of hypertext concepts, and the emergence of web2.0. Early among those events was the launch in 1989 by Taylor Graham Publishing of the first specialist journal Hypermedia.

The New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia

Framed temporal logic programming

Active reading and hypermedia usage are an integral part of scholar daily practices, but the full exploitation of their potentialities still lies far ahead. In the search for new methods and tools, we focus in this article on the use of audiovisual material in a scholar context. One of the results of active reading applied to audiovisual material can be hypervideos, that we define as views on audiovisual documents associated with an annotation structure. The notion of hypervideo is useful to analyse existing video-based hypermedia systems as well as building new systems. The Advene project proposes an implementation of hypervideos through a framework that allows experimentations of new visualisation and interaction modalities for enriched videos.

Advene: active reading through hypervideo

This paper discusses a new hypermedia-based model known as IUHM (Information Unit Hypermedia Model). IUHM emerged as a result of the development of the OPALES system, a collaborative environment for exploring and indexing video archives in a digital library. A basic design requirement of OPALES is that it must permit and support the integration of new services throughout its life cycle. Thus, IUHM depends heavily upon the notions of extensibility and openness.Support for openness, extensibility and late binding of services is provided in the IUHM model by a single reflexive mechanism. This uniform mechanism is used for describing all relationships between arbitrary system entities, including services, data and metadata. The mechanism in question consists of a generic, computable hypertext structure with typed links, known as the Information Unit (IU), and is the minimal structural scheme to which all encapsulated entities comply.We describe and justify the design of the Information Unit, as well as the semantics of its four link types, namely role, type, owner, relative. We further describe the minimal kernel of the runtime layer responsible for the dynamic behaviour specified by the IUHM compliant hypertext network. We discuss the mechanisms involved in the dynamic binding of services and service composition. We illustrate these notions by real-world examples of the integration of metadata services within the OPALES system.

IUHM: a hypermedia-based model for integrating open services, data and metadata

This paper explores a formalism for describing a wide class of multimedia document constraints We outline the requirements on temporal logic specification that arise from the multimedia documents application area In particular, we highlight a canonical document example Then we present the temporal logic formalism that we use This formalism extends existing interval temporal logic with a number of new features: actions, framing of actions, past operators, a projection-like operator called filter and a new handling of interval length A model theory and satisfaction relation are defined for the logic and a specification of the canonical example is presented

Specification and Prototyping of Structured Multimedia Documents using Interval Temporal Logic

XML and its associated languages are emerging as powerful authoring tools for multimedia and hypermedia web content Furthermore intelligent presentation generation engines have begun to appear as have models and platforms for adaptive presentations However XML-based models are limited by their lack of expressiveness in presentation and animation As a result authors of dynamic adaptive web content must often use considerable amounts of script or code The use of such script or code has two serious drawbacks First such code undermines the declarative description possible in the original presentation language and second the scripting/coding approach does not readily lend itself to authoring by non programmers In this paper we describe a set of XML language extensions inspired by features from the functional programming world which are designed to widen the class of reactive systems which could be described in languages such as SMIL The described features extend the power of declarative modeling for the web by allowing the introduction of web media items which may dynamically react to continuously varying inputs both in a continuous way and by triggering discrete user-defined events The two extensions described herein are discussed in the context of SMIL Animation and SVG but could be applied to many XML-based languages

Behavioral reactivity and real time programming in XML: functional programming meets SMIL animation

This paper explores a formalism for describing a wide class of multimedia document constraints, based on an interval temporal logic. We describe the requirements that arise from the multimedia documents application area, and we illustrate these requirements using several examples. Then we present the temporal logic formalism that we use. This logic extends existing interval temporal logic with a number of new features: actions, framing of actions, past operators, a projection-like operator called filter and a new handling of interval length. The notation is applied to the specification of the examples, and in particular a set of logical manipulations, providing feedback to an author, is presented. A model theory, logic and satisfaction relation are defined for the notation.

Mexitl : Multimedia in Executable Interval Temporal Logic

Most of the current work on the temporal aspects of hypermedia is oriented towards implementation and rendering. Relatively little work has been directed towards the design of hypermedia artifacts, particularly artifacts comprising large sets of media items with rich sets of temporal relationships. We introduce the media construction formalism (MCF), a formalism permitting the design of media construction abstractions (MCA) for the specification of multimedia scenarios. MCF provides constructs that can be understood and manipulated by designers at different levels of granularity and detail. MCF relies on a temporal model similar to that of SMIL 2.0, but targets design issues. MCF supports abstraction and re-use at the artifact design level and uses the notion of design patterns and the metaphor of roles, players and actors, to provide generic design descriptions. MCF provides an integrated specification of spatial, temporal, and object behavior, including composition which may depend on run time ...
