Exposing Ourselves: Displaying our Cultural Assets for Public Consumption

چکیده
This paper discusses an early stage project to develop a new, enhanced interface for Trinity College Dublin (TCD) Digital Collections website. We describe the current state of the portal and outline some of the unique issues observed when examining user engagement. A major factor in our development of enhanced search tools will be to leverage the entities present in the documents to establish more reliable connections between items in the collection. Not only do we expect that this will lead to better ranked search results, but we also wish to investigate how these entities may be used to encourage site visitors to explore the site beyond their initial research goal. The early stage of this project means that plans are still being finalised. Hence we speculate about other methods which may be applied to this corpus.

Such doomsaying has been a recurrent theme in human affairs and has often presaged the anointing of a false savior on whom w...

This paper investigates the evolution of cooperation across multiple laboratory generations in an experimental public goods game.
