論文題目: Personal Interface for Digital Library


論文概要

Digital library is a collection of electronic-formed books. The issue about the digital library is one of interesting subjects as the user interface for information retrieval. However, the current interfaces for digital library do not provide adequate facilities to improve the readability of the individual users. In this thesis, we address a personal interface for digital library system. It is a normal practice of many users to compose small notes base on their reading materials. These notes will include original texts, personal writing/comments and so on. Based on these notes, he/she will further continue the investigation in other literatures. This is the manual senario used to form the personal interface for the digital library. To develop the personal interface, we introduce the concept ``personal notebook''. A collection of personal notebooks is called ``personal data library''. The personal interface is available between the user and the public digital library. The main functions of the personal interface are retrieval/browsing, load/restore and reorganization. Reorganization, which is the function for arranging personal notebooks, consists of functions such as editing, summarizing, collecting and term-describing . Our prototype system for personal interface was implemented on World-Wide-Web.
