Effective Terminology Support for Distributed Digital Collections
نویسنده
چکیده
Issues of embedding terminology service into large federations of multilingual digital collections are analyzed. A distributed system architecture is proposed, which preserves on one side a necessary degree of autonomy at the different sources, but allows on the other side to consistently correlate the chain of used terminology from the end-users to the collection maintainers. It should in particular allow for maintaining over the whole federation certain recall and precision properties of collections that use controlled vocabularies.

متن کاملChallenges and issues in terminology mapping: a digital library perspective
Effective information retrieval within digital libraries is limited by the lack of semantic interoperability between subject schemes used by online services and collections.

In order to overcome this, i...
