Digital Libraries often fail to connect their contents to the wider context of information resources available that are about the same persons, related persons, places, or time periods and the events that happen to those persons, at those places and in a given time period. In this paper we critically examine a number of standards for organizing collections of archival, historical, genealogical,...

The Perseus Digital Library (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu) has three different kinds of search tools, each of which presents its results in a different way. Two of them, the wordsearch tool and the Perseus Lookup Tool, allow users to request searches of the texts and the databases of the digital library. The third search tool works transparently on the user’s behalf, and is tightly integrated i...

In the paper is presented a new method for efficient compression of still images, based on the Inverse Difference Pyramid (IDP) decomposition. A special version of the method is developed for the lossless compression of graphics and texts. The method is aimed at secure and flexible transfer of information via Internet. It permits the insertion of multiple digital watermarks in the image phase d...

This paper introduces a new implementation of the Canonical Text Services (CTS) protocol intended to be capable of handling thousands of editions. CTS was introduced for the Digital Humanities and is based on a hierarchical structuring of texts down to the level of individual words mirroring traditional practices of citing. The paper gives an overview of CTS for those that are unfamiliar and es...

In spite of the current need in the computational community for digital corpora in different languages with complex linguistic annotations going beyond morphosyntactic features, there is not much work within the Digital Humanities community dedicated to this task. In this paper I describe recent work on the development of a bilingual (English-Spanish) corpus consisting of original comparable an...

An intervention trial by Hedges and others (2001) studying 1109 cow-years, in which every lame cow was examined and recorded by a veterinary surgeon, determined the four main causes of lameness to be sole ulcers, white line disease, digital dermatitis and interdigital necrobacillosis (‘foul’ or ‘foot rot’) (see graph on the right). Sole ulcers and white line disease are defects of the hoof and,...

Digital watermarking is a technique wherein copyrights are protected by inserting difficult to separate indications such as video, audio, or texts to the content, which is a method to prevent illegal distribution, or copying of the product without proper authorization from maker or owner. In this research, unlike the existing image watermarking method wherein watermark is done to the frame itse...

Adult second language learners face the daunting but underappreciated task of mastering patterns of language use that are neither products of fully productive grammar rules nor frozen items to be memorized. Word Midas, a web browser extension, targets this uncharted territory of lexicogrammar by detecting multiword tokens of lexicogrammatical patterning in real time in situ within the noisy dig...
