New Review of Hypermedia and Multimedia 2001
NRHM is a refereed annual review journal covering research on practical
and theoretical developments in hypermedia, interactive multimedia and
related technologies. Issues (normally 10-12 papers) review and explore
one or two topical themes from diverse perspectives.
The main theme for NRHM 2001 is digital libraries,
encompassing digital archives, museums and collections generally.
In addition, with this issue we are introducing an open topic sub-theme
for high quality papers meeting NRHM’s scope in general (see website).
We aim to include a small number of high quality original papers that report
on a substantial body of research or undertake a significant review of a topic.
Authors are invited to submit original unpublished papers electronically to the
Editors at the e-mail addresses below. There is no explicit restriction on length,
but authors who wish to submit a long article should contact the Editor prior to
submission. Initial submissions for reviewing can follow any common machine
readable format. For final submissions, see Instructions to Authors at:
http://www.comp.glam.ac.uk/~NRHM/
or http://www.taylorgraham.com/journals/nrhypnotes.html
Submission deadline: 1st August 2001
Acceptance notification: 1st October 2001
Final manuscripts due: 1st November 2001
Digital Libraries (DL) is a rapidly growing field. The last few years have seen an
outpouring of DL conferences (ACM, ECDL, IEEE), collaborative international
projects and numerous specialist meetings. Meeting the challenges posed by DL
requires new technologies for facilitating access to multimedia collections and
new techniques for interface design, representation of metadata, searching,
browsing and visualisation of results. It encompasses many areas important to
NRHM and we welcome papers on DL themes, particularly relating to
hypermedia, multimedia, metadata, information retrieval, semantic web and
knowledge organisation systems. The following list of suggested topics illustrates
the scope of the issue (it is not intended to be exhaustive):
Subject gateways and discovery services
- Internet subject gateways
- Resource discovery applications
- Cross domain searching and browsing
- Semantic interoperability issues
- Distributed digital library applications
- Digital library implications for educational applications
Metadata for digital libraries and WWW
- Metadata schema and standards
- Automatic harvesting of metadata
- Representation schemes for digital library metadata
including XML and RDF schemas
- Semantic Web representations, tools and applications
Knowledge organisation systems for digital libraries and internet based services
- Classifications, ontologies, taxonomies, thesauri
and controlled vocabulary systems
- Experiences with retrieval systems employing knowledge organisation systems
- Visualisations of knowledge organisation systems
- Thesaurus mapping and semantic interoperability
- Digital gazetteers and spatial metadata
Advanced searching and browsing techniques for digital libraries
- Query expansion and refinement,
- Automatic linking, summarisation, filtering
- Cross-language searching
- Natural language processing
- Structured result display and visualisation
User-interface design for digital library applications
- Navigation and browsing in digital library applications
- User studies and evaluations of digital library applications
- Adaptivity in digital library applications
- Cognitive issues in digital library applications
Multimedia digital library issues
- Image and video indexing and metadata
- Content-based retrieval techniques
- Searching and browsing for video and multimedia collections
