Experiments with the IFLA functional requirements for bibliographic records (FRBR)
by Thomas Butler Hickey
(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2002 in English and held by 3 libraries worldwide OCLC is investigating how best to implement IFLA's Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). As part of that work we have undertaken a series of experiments with algorithms to group existing bibliographic records into works and expressions. Working with both subsets of records and the whole WorldCat database, the algorithm we developed achieved reasonable success identifying all manifestations of a work.
Using the OAI-PMH--differently
by Herbert van de Sompel
(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2003 in English and held by 3 libraries worldwide The Open Archives Initiative's Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) was created to facilitate discovery of distributed resources. The OAI-PMH achieves this by providing a simple, yet powerful framework for metadata harvesting. Harvesters can incrementally gather records contained in OAI-PMH repositories and use them to create services covering the content of several repositories. The OAI-PMH has been widely accepted, and until recently, it has mainly been applied to make Dublin Core metadata about scholarly objects contained in distributed repositories searchable through a single user interface. This article describes innovative applications of the OAI-PMH that we have introduced in recent projects. In these projects, OAI-PMH concepts such as resource and metadata format have been interpreted in novel ways. The result of doing so illustrates the usefulness of the OAI-PMH beyond the typical resource discovery using Dublin Core metadata. Also, through the inclusion of XSL1 stylesheets in protocol responses, OAI-PMH repositories have been directly overlaid with an interface that allows users to navigate the contained metadata by means of a Web browser. In addition, through the introduction of PURL2 partial redirects, complex OAI-PMH protocol requests have been turned into simple URIs that can more easily be published and used in downstream applications.

Superimposed Coding Versus Sequential and Inverted Files
(
Book
)
2 editions published in 1977 in Undetermined and English and held by 2 libraries worldwide The relative efficiency of three computer search algorithms was compared for searching large bibliographic files with Boolean search strategies. The sequential and inverted files represent the two most common file structures used today for bibliographic searching. Superimposed coding is an alternative that is becoming more attractive as the speed of computers improves. The superimposed search has a key associated with each record in the data base to act as a screen to eliminate the majority of records from further consideration. The keys are based on the bigrams and trigrams contained in the record, and are arranged in a linear file. The sequential search is a character by character scan of the entire file. This search is facilitated by constructing a finite state machine at the beginning of the search to match the search terms. The inverted file is fairly standard, except for the use of bit vectors to hold the postings of very common entries. A data base of 100,000 INSPEC records, from nine months of 1974, was used for testing the algorithms with 339 real-life search questions.
FRBR work-set algorithm
by Thomas Butler Hickey
(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2005 in English and held by 2 libraries worldwide "The research work-set algorithm generates an author/title key for each bibliographic record. These keys can then be used to bring work-sets together. The current algorithm ignores format so that the generated work-sets are sometimes at a higher level than a FRBR work." - p. 2.

(
Book

2 editions published between 2003 and 2004 in English and held by 1 library worldwide A Web service is any service that uses the HTTP protocol and returns XML. There are two main approaches to providing Web services: the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Representational State Transfer (REST).
The role of classification in CORC
by Thomas Butler Hickey
(
Book
)
2 editions published in 1999 in English and held by 1 library worldwide The use of the DDC in metadata offers unique opportunities for organizing and searching Web resources. In this paper, we describe CORC tools for applying and using the DDC as a metadata element. Both the CORC system and the DDC are benefiting from the inclusion of Dewey in the CORC project. CORC benefits from having integrated access to a rich classification system that can be used to organize its metadata; the DDC benefits from its inclusion in an easily adaptable Web-based system that facilitates the exploration of what a classification system can do in this new environment.

Guidon Web applying Java to scholarly electronic journals
by Thomas Butler Hickey
(
Book
)
1 edition published in 1996 in English and held by 1 library worldwide OCLC offers Electronic Journals Online, a service which provides access to electronic journals and high-quality display of text and graphics. The primary method of searching and displaying articles is through a proprietary client called Guidon, which is programmed in C++ and runs under MS Windows and on the Macintosh. The advent of Java support within World Wide Web browsers offers the possibility reimplementing the features of Guidon in Java applets. This would enable OCLC to offer access to our existing databases without requiring users to load specialized software. As a research project we developed a prototype version of a document viewer in Java. more
