Creating Visualisations for Digital Document Indexing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Indexes are a well established method of locating information in printed literature just as find is a popular technique when searching in digital documents. However, document reader software has seldom adopted the concept of an index in a systematic manner. This paper describes an implemented system that not only facilitates user created digital indexes but also uses colour and size as key factors in their visual presentation. We report a pilot study that was conducted to test the validity of each visualisation and analyses the results of both the quantitative analysis and subjective user reviews.

Journal of Emerging Trends in Computing and Information Sciences::Automatic Learning Context Tool for Effective Personal Document Indexing and Retrieval
Managing digital documents has become a time consuming process due to sheer scale. Most users manage their personal documents by creating logical hierarchical folder structures. This logical structure depends on the user’s assessment of the context of the document. Basic file structuring has not been changed for decades and hierarchical file structure remains the same. But there has been a surg...
متن کاملEvaluating similarity-based visualisations as interfaces for image browsing
Large collections of digital images are becoming more and more common, and the users of these collections need computer-based systems to help them find the images they require. Digital images are easy to shrink to thumbnail size, allowing a large number of them to be presented to the user simultaneously. Generally, current image browsing interfaces display thumbnails in a twodimensional grid, i...

Automatic indexing is important for a digital library to provide digitized manuscripts of old document images and their electronic text. As an essential step in creating such a system, this paper discusses the issue of extracting headlines from old newspaper microfilms. Most research on document layout analysis has largely assumed relatively clean images. However microfilm images of old newspap...
متن کاملIndexing and Retrieval of On-line Handwritten Documents
Recent advances in on-line data capturing technologies and its widespread deployment in devices like PDAs and notebook PCs is creating large amounts of handwritten data that need to be archived and retrieved efficiently. Word-spotting, which is based on a direct comparison of a handwritten keyword to words in the document, is commonly used for indexing and retrieval. We propose a string matchin...
متن کاملAn Approach for Creating Domain Specific Visualisations of CSP Models
A domain specific visualisation can greatly contribute to better understanding of formal models. In this work we propose an approach that supports the user in creating domain specific visualisations of CSP models. CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes) is a formal language that is mainly used for specifying concurrent and distributed systems. We have successfully created various visualisation...
