Research
on METADATA
IN DIGITAL LIBRARY ENVIRONMENTS
is influenced by my doctoral project that dealt with
description and identification of information resources
(e.g., maps and geospatial objects); most recently in the
digital library environments, there has been an enormous
press and need to construct schema for defining element
sets in order to identify, describe, preserve, and manage
federated digital repositories of resources. The activity
related to metadata has resulted in the following set of
publications:

Research
on KNOWLEDGE-BASED
REPRESENTATION
began with my dissertation work (Ph.D., June 1990; advisor
Harold Borko). Knowledge representation dealt with
capturing both public knowledge (defined as that body of
knowledge that is formally codified, widely understood,
published and taught) and combining it with personal
knowledge (formalized experts' rules of thumb and
judgments in a given domain). This work resulted in a
series of 5 peer-reviewed journal articles (The MAPPER
Project). This project was supported by NSF award (SES
8814111) and OCLC Library and Information Science Research
Grant Program award in 1987-88.
The
main objective of this study was to understand how an
experimental, semi-automatic cataloging advisor (Mapper)
could be designed to assist the novice user in the
descriptive cataloging of certain U.S. produced
single-sheet maps. The study empirically derived a working
definition of a map author for the maps under
investigation. It has also shown that novice can produce
significantly better cataloging answers when assisted by
the Mapper than those who were not assisted by the Mapper.
