“…For example: Boutell et al ’s (2005) image data set was collected by 56 photographers from three major US cities in one year; the image data set used in Pigeau and Gelgon’s (2005) research was a collection of 721 personal pictures taken over three years; digitalization of a research institution’s original collections. For example, the National Gallery of Art library image collections (Gibbs, 2010) and Cornell’s digital image collection (Kenney and Rieger, 2000), as well as many other DLs; and data sets consisting of the pictures crawled from Flickr and Google. For example, the 249,000 pictures downloaded from Flickr2 by API3 in Irie et al ’s (2011) research, and the 40,000 image collection about “cities and locations” category used in Samani and Moghaddam’s (2017) research.…”

“…Libraries and museums have curated large DLs, mostly containing image collections, for the purpose of preserving world and local cultural heritage. A large number of information professionals are working on building these digital collections by annotating them and managing them (Berinstein, 1998; Burns, 2012; Ester, 1996; Galloway, 2004; Kenney and Rieger, 2000; Reilly and De, 2001; Wallace and Van Fleet, 2004). These DLs and associated image collections are accessed by web users to better understand the world and to generate new knowledge.…”

An investigation of benchmark image collections: how different from digital libraries?

Purpose This paper aims to introduce the construction methods, image organization, collection use and access of benchmark image collections to the digital library (DL) community. It aims to connect two distinct communities: the DL community and image processing researchers so that future image collections could be better constructed, organized and managed for both human and computer use. Design/methodology/approach Image collections are first identified through an extensive literature review of published journal articles and a web search. Then, a coding scheme focusing on image collections’ creation, organization, access and use is developed. Next, three major benchmark image collections are analysed based on the proposed coding scheme. Finally, the characteristics of benchmark image collections are summarized and compared to DLs. Findings Although most of the image collections in DLs are carefully curated and organized using various metadata schema based on an image’s external features to facilitate human use, the benchmark image collections created for promoting image processing algorithms are annotated on an image’s content to the pixel level, which makes each image collection a more fine-grained, organized database appropriate for developing automatic techniques on classification summarization, visualization and content-based retrieval. Research limitations/implications This paper overviews image collections by their application fields. The three most representative natural image collections in general areas are analysed in detail based on a homemade coding scheme, which could be further extended. Also, domain-specific image collections, such as medical image collections or collections for scientific purposes, are not covered. Practical implications This paper helps DLs with image collections to understand how benchmark image collections used by current image processing research are created, organized and managed. It informs multiple parties pertinent to image collections to collaborate on building, sustaining, enriching and providing access to image collections. Originality/value This paper is the first attempt to review and summarize benchmark image collections for DL managers and developers. The collection creation process and image organization used in these benchmark image collections open a new perspective to digital librarians for their future DL collection development.

“…While the logic of the project and the accompanying sound files were our design, the assets we used for its visual appearance originated from a package whose license we purchased [74]. The created project also served as an example of multiplatform application development because it was designed to be playable both on desktop operating systems and on touch screen devices.…”

Placing Event-Action-based Visual Programming in the Process of Computer Science Education

Based on research results and experience, students who finish K-12 education lack the necessary computational thinking skills that they would need to continue their studies effectively in the field of computer sciences. Our goal was to examine the currently used methods and programming languages in K-12 education and to find and present an alternative approach. Using visual programming environments in education to develop students' computational thinking and algorithmic skills is a widespread practice in K-12 education. These environments mostly provide simplified versions of "real" programming languages. In this paper, we present event-action-based visual programming, as an alternative to today's most frequently used methods, which do not restrict the students' development ability to simplified and basic applications while retaining the advantages of visual languages. We organized four workshops in which we presented this programming approach to four distinct groups involved in education. The participants were guided to develop a multiplatform mobile application using Construct 2 event-action-based visual programming. At the end of the sessions we collected data in the form of group interviews and questionnaires on the possibilities of including event-action based visual programming in computer science education. Based on the results, the participants found the method suitable for beginner programmers to help them lay the foundations for more complex, textbased programming languages and to develop a positive attitude towards programming.

“…They are from four countries, and the data preserved in the repositories spans textual resources, audio files, images, and scientific research data sets. Finally, we judged that the projects/programs (Kenney and Rieger 2000) were in different stages of the implementation process given their varied status as projects, programs, or transitioning from projects to programs. While our dataset is small, it does provide an in-depth examination of PREMIS adoption in a diverse group of organizations.…”

Secondary adoption of technology standards: The case of PREMIS

While archival scholars have identified some of the most important steps for deciding to use and implement metadata standards in archives, very little systematic empirical investigation within the archival science literature regards either how implementation processes actually unfold or the factors affecting implementation. This article analyzes the organizational factors and processes that come into play during implementation of metadata standards, using PREservation metadata: implementation strategies (PREMIS) as an exemplar. Adapting a theoretical framework for secondary adoption of technologies from Gallivan (Database Adv Inf Syst 32(3):51, 2001), the authors apply their model to the PREMIS technology standard and investigate PREMIS implementation by projects/programs on the Library of Congress PREMIS Implementation Registry. Using data from a series of in-depth semi-structured interviews, the authors develop a model for the secondary adoption of PREMIS and outline implications for the secondary adoption of technology standards based on the results of this study.
