In this paper we consider the extent of our knowledge of global beetle diversity. Depending on the estimates adopted, some 70–95% of all beetle species remain to be formally described, and at the current rate of progress it could be more than 200 years until the task is completed. One of the reasons for this is the difficulty of adequately sampling tropical beetle faunas and thereby ensuring su...

This paper described the archtecture of a hyperdocument system intended to provide access to a coherent body of knowledge, consisting of structured knowledge, text, graphics, data and executable models. The main focus of the research is in intermediate structure added to the documents to support the links between the structured knowledge and the textual knowledge. The system is implemented in a...

This Paper relates some of the experiences gained from the initial stages of a trial software quality program undertaken in Australia’s largest government research agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The program, known as Outreach, has assigned experienced software engineers and software process engineers to work alongside the research scientists an...

The collection consists of all the *.csiro.au (public) websites as they appeared in March 2007. The resulting data set consists of 370 715 documents, with total size 4.2 gigabytes. The web crawler visited the outward-facing pages of CSIRO in a fashion similar to the crawl used in CSIRO’s own search engine. In fact, the same crawler technology that CSIRO uses was used to gather the CSIRO documen...
