What is the purpose of the space?

Users can collaboratively examine, discuss, and will be able to modify (add and annotate) documents, thereby converting this document space into an ever-evolving repository of the user community’s collective knowledge that members can access, learn from, contribute to, and build upon.

What are the characteristics of a real world library?

Real world (public) libraries are very social places – crowded with people looking for a specific book, browsing audio-visual material under a certain topic, attending author readings, hanging out with their kids.

How many links will be available to the community?

The space will provide access to an initial seed collection of about 8,000 links to online documents such as text, images, video, software demonstrations, etc. collected from personal favorites or bookmark lists from SLIS faculty and staff.

What is the purpose of the study?

the authors are working on the refinement of the Semantic Treemap algorithm and develop overview maps rendered based on the objects that make up the 3-D world to be displayed in the web interface.

What is the purpose of the project?

Each of these 3-D browser systems facilitates the creation of multi-modal, multi-user, navigable, and collaborative virtual worlds in 3-D that are interconnected with standard web pages and that are accessible from standard computer platforms via the Internet, 24 hours and 7 days a week.

How does the user navigate the map?

Utilizing the maps, users will be able to enter particular search terms to identify areas with matching documents and to click on the map to teleport into the corresponding topic area in the 3-D space.

Visual interfaces to digital libraries

TL;DR: The workshop in 2002 continues the theme started at JCDL 2001 and draws on progress in the new field of Information Visualization, as well as addressing some of the issues addressed last year.

Abstract: Today's digital libraries (DLs) are content rich, multimedia, multilingual collections that are distributed and accessed worldwide. Designing useful interfaces to access, understand, and manage this knowledge has become an active and challenging field of study. Visual interfaces to DLs aim to shift the user's mental load from slow reading to faster perceptual processes such as visual pattern recognition. They draw on progress in the new field of Information Visualization.The workshop in 2002 continues the theme started at JCDL 2001. In addition, the growth of the field warrants new perspectives on some of the issues we have addressed last year.

Most frequently asked questions

1. What have the authors contributed in "Collaborative visual interfaces to digital libraries" ?

This paper argues for the design of collaborative visual interfaces to digital libraries that support social navigation.. As an illustrative example the authors present work in progress on the design of a threedimensional document space for a scholarly community – namely faculty, staff, and students at the School of Library and Information Science, Indiana University.

2. What is the effect of FDP on the semantic similarity of the documents?

force directed placement (FDP) [10] is applied to the documents in each cluster to place documents spatially based on their semantic similarity.

3. How many people will have access to this space?

Upon completion, about 530 people – including about 300 students in Bloomington and 200 students in Indianapolis - will have access to this space.

4. What is the way to design collaborative interfaces?

The design of collaborative interfaces is facilitated by commercially available 3-D Online Browser Systems such as Blaxxun's online community client-server architecture, Active Worlds technology, or the new Adobe Atmosphere browser, to name just a few.
