A multi-layered Bayesian network model for structured document retrieval

New standards in document representation, like for example SGML, XML, and MPEG-7, compel Information Retrieval to design and implement models and tools to index, retrieve and present documents according to the given document structure. The paper presents the design of an Information Retrieval system for multimedia structured documents, like for example journal articles, e-books, and MPEG-7 videos. The system is based on Bayesian Networks, since this class of mathematical models enable to represent and quantify the relations between the structural components of the document. Some preliminary results on the system implementation are also presented

Perancangan Interior Perpustakaan Fasilitas Multimedia Di Surabaya

Library is a place that is used to learning and exploring new things in order to broaden the knowledge of the users, nowadays technology is growing more rapidly every year. With the development of technology, it will create a library that not only has collection of books, but it is also has collection of digital file. Furthermore, with rapid growth of young generation that has faster adaptability with technology which is shifting the function of library to tend use more digital file, including video and online documents.This design intended to create a Multimedia Library that users can use at the fullest in accordance with the needs of users by using multimedia facilities that might use cassette and books in library

Theorising materiality in children's digital books

Participatory literacies are new ways of experiencing narratives and of “interpreting, making, sharing and belonging in increasingly globally and digitally mediated cultures” (Wohlwend 2017a: 62). This paper discusses the material features of children’s digital books and the extent to which they support participatory literacies. The material features of digital books are conceptualised in terms of their external and internal properties. Based on a theoretical discussion and empirical observations it is argued that specific internal material properties of children’s digital books, namely their interactivity and multimedia, are uniquely positioned to support participatory literacies and are therefore a site of novelty in children’s experiences of narratives

Electronic Book of Network Security: Introduction to Network Security

Technology is now widely used in a variety of educational support situations to improve the quality of education. It can be used to redress the imbalances of the old system and help in developing new teaching and learning strategies. The basis of this project is to design and develop an electronic book (E-book) tutorial to teach the basics of network security. E-books are developed with the intentions of overcoming the limitations of paper books. They have the advantages over paper books in that they are dynamic, reactive and able to provide the same features as well as new features such as hyper-linking, multimedia technology, digital annotating, digital book-marking and searching function. This project will pay particular attention to features and functionality of the e-book rather that the contents of the book. This project will involve the development of software application that will combine multimedia elements such as high-quality sound, text, photo images, two and three-dimensional graphics and animation into learning environment. The E-book will be created using Macromedia Authorware. In order to add interactivity and enhance the user interfaces to the e-book, Macromedia F1ash MX and Adobe Photoshop will be used. Finally, there will also be a quiz section for the user after they read the e-book

You Call that Perpetual? Issues in Perpetual Access

Ensuring perpetual access to electronic resources is a difficult and multifaceted process. Many issues stand in the way of seamless ongoing access and challenge traditional definitions of “perpetual.” License agreements are often vague on the issue. Librarians and vendors often fail to properly track the content to which an institution is entitled after a contract has lapsed. New e-book editions complicate access to previous editions. Multimedia resources may rely on quickly outdated software, so that they become unusable even if the content still has value. These challenges, as well as strategies for working through them, are discussed in relation to electronic journals, books, and multimedia resources

Extending the message of soil quality in the mobile device era

In this day and age, where everyone is time poor, making information easily and quickly available is paramount. However, with a topic as complex and as multi-dimensional as soil quality, a new approach to packaging information that is evidence-based and relevant to the local environment is required. Apple multimedia digital books provide a platform capable of delivering layers of information on mobile devices
