    Non-hierarchical Structures: How to Model and Index Overlaps?

    Full text link
    Overlap is a common phenomenon seen when structural components of a digital object are neither disjoint nor nested inside each other. Overlapping components resist reduction to a structural hierarchy, and tree-based indexing and query processing techniques cannot be used for them. Our solution to this data modeling problem is TGSA (Tree-like Graph for Structural Annotations), a novel extension of the XML data model for non-hierarchical structures. We introduce an algorithm for constructing TGSA from annotated documents; the algorithm can efficiently process non-hierarchical structures and is associated with formal proofs, ensuring that transformation of the document to the data model is valid. To enable high performance query analysis in large data repositories, we further introduce an extension of XML pre-post indexing for non-hierarchical structures, which can process both reachability and overlapping relationships.Comment: The paper has been accepted at the Balisage 2014 conferenc

    Examines – and makes recommendations on - the needs of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park as regards the metadata, metadata standards, and metadata management required for the competent handling of digital materials both now and in the future. Proposes an iterative approach to determining metadata requirements, working within a METS-based framework

    A High-level EDA Environment for the Automatic Insertion of HD-BIST Structures

    This paper presents a High-Level EDA environment based on the Hierarchical Distributed BIST (HD-BIST), a flexible and reusable approach to solve BIST scheduling issues in System-on-Chip applications. HD-BIST allows activating and controlling different BISTed blocks at different levels of hierarchy, with a minimum overhead in terms of area and test time. Besides the hardware layer, the authors present the HD-BIST application layer, where a simple modeling language, and a prototypical EDA tool demonstrate the effectiveness of the automation of the HD-BIST insertion in the test strategy definition of a complex System-on-Chip

    Describing typeforms: a designer's response

    Full text link
    The paper sets out an overview of a pragmatic research investigation initiated within a doctoral enquiry, and which continues to inform design practice and pedagogy. Located within the fields of typography and information design, and very much concerned with design history, enquiry emphasized exploration of alternative design research methodologies in the production of a design outcome loaded with pedagogical ambition. The issue being addressed within the investigation was the limited scope of existing typeface classificatory systems to adequately describe the diversity of forms represented within current type design practice and thus, recent acquisitions to an established teaching collection in London. Addressing this issue unexpectedly came to utilize the researcher’s own design practice as a methodology for managing emergent enquiry, and for organizing and generating new knowledge through the employment of visual information management methods. A primary outcome of the enquiry was a new framework for the description of typeforms. This new framework will be described in terms of its operation, divergence from existing models and potential for application
