as much discussed in literature, the creation of digital libraries should be informed by user requirements and behaviors (soergel, 2002). according to researchers, the best designs for children come from children .this study describes how the iranian children use a digital library (icdl). this work was done in order to explore and discover new directions for the development of children digital ...

This book chapter describes problems related to contemporary document analyses. Contemporary documents contain multiple digital objects of different type. These digital objects have to be extracted from document containers, represented as data structures, and described by features suitable for comparing digital objects. In many archival and machine learning applications, documents are compared ...

Our research analyses the digital divide within the European Union 27 between the years of 2008 and 2010. To accomplish this we use multivariate statistical methods, more specifically factor and cluster analysis, to address the European digital disparities. Our results lead to an identification of two latent dimensions and five groups of countries. We conclude that a digital gap does, in fact, ...

Digital elevation models (DEMs) represent a fundamental resource in geomorphological analysis. The increasing availability of open-access DEMs over wide areas is advantageous, but requires an evaluation DEM quality and errors. This work applies hierarchical assessment global, continental national Italy order to explore the differences analyze vertical accuracy, spatial error distribution agreem...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are the digital representation of topographic and/or manmade features located on the surface of the earth. DEMs are widely used for hydrologic analyses, resource management, transportation planning, earth sciences, and environmental assessment. Increased use of DEMs in these wide-ranging applications has led to greater need for higher resolut...

This paper develops an approach for assessing Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems based on an ideal list of DRM requirements from the points of view of users, content providers and copyright law. In addition, it analyses the most recently discussed schemes for protecting digital assets in home networks. The assessment of these solutions focuses on protecting content while being exchanged be...
