Building a Digital Library for Computer Science Research: Technical Issues
نویسندگان
چکیده
Technical reports are available electronically at hundreds of internet sites around the world. A major impediment to their utility in computer science research is the difficulty in locating reports that are relevant to a particular area. We describe the implementation of a digital library for computer science technical reports that indexes every word in each report, covers a majority of computer science technical report archives, and supports a variety of search types despite the fact that documents are not formally cataloged. We discuss in detail techniques for constructing the digital library that minimize Internet and local storage costs.

Building distributed systems for international usage requires addressing many architectural and practical issues. Key to the efficient construction of such systems, modularity in systems and in run-time libraries allows greater reuse of components and thus permits incremental improvements to multilingual systems.

متن کاملAn overview of catalog design problems in resource discovery
This paper discusses some of the problems designers face in building catalogues in large networks and relates them back to the resource discovery problem. Currently many catalogues tend to be built in an adhoc fashion – which leads to a great variety in the quality of publically accessible network catalogs. Furthermore, the research surrounding these catalogues tends to focus on narrow technica...
