“…More work is needed to study the process of extending existing authority files based on historical reference works, merging controlled vocabularies from multiple sources, and finally incorporating local authority files into general authority files as it seems appropriate. Our experience suggests that a distributed model of authority control as suggested by several researchers [20,17,31] could provide a standardized infrastructure for this process.…”

One of the criticisms library users often make of catalogs is that they rarely include information below the bibliographic level. It is generally impossible to search a catalog for the titles and subjects of particular chapters or volumes. There has been no way to add this information to catalog records without exponentially increasing the workload of catalogers. At the same time, well-structured full-text XML transcriptions of printed works are becoming increasingly available. This paper describes how existing investments in full text digitization and structural markup combined with current named-entity extraction technology can efficiently generate the detailed level of catalog data that users want, at no significant additional cost. This system is demonstrated on an existing digital collection within the Perseus Digital Library.

“…Following a debate, the HKCAN decided to use field 1XX for LCNAF headings and 7XX for Chinese scripts ( Joint University Librarians Advisory Committee, 2010). Lam (2002) also reviewed the two MARC21/A models and reported that, while Model A allows better linkage between vernacular scripts and their transliterations than Model B, it is not eagerly supported by library vendors and bibliographic utilities. Thus, neither model is suitable for global distribution.…”

Abstract Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to propose a modification of the Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) model to accommodate names in non-Roman languages with diverse writing systems. Design/methodology/approach -The model modifies and clarifies the attributes and relationships regarding non-Roman languages of the current FRAD model, based on the definitions of transliteration, transcription, and Romanization in ISO 5127:2001. The modified model overcomes the problems inherent in the current FRAD model when handling writing systems in non-Roman languages.Findings -The proposed model clearly shows the hierarchy of Controlled Access Points (CAPs). CAPs are either based directly on names or derived from other CAPs. For name or person identification, a CAP and its derivations should be treated as a set. The proposed model also resolves ambiguity in the definition of the word transliteration in the current FRAD model. Originality/value -By establishing new relationships and amending the attributes of the FRAD model, the proposed model better expresses personal names in non-Roman languages as well as names in western languages. It also organizes complex writing systems of non-Roman languages. The proposed model could lead to an improved format for authority data and will facilitate international sharing of data.

Digital Libraries: Implementing Strategies and Sharing Experiences

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract. This paper is an attempt by the authors to share their experiences in equipping a young academic library with the information technologies needed to enhance services in a digital environment. After discussing the advent of digital libraries, the paper explores a progression of projects which make use of advancing technologies, from Web interfaces to XML metadata, and their effectiveness in a non-English (CJK) environment. These digital initiatives have become a core component of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) Library's service infrastructure, in addition to enhancing its traditional roles. The past ten years' accelerating pace of technological change has had a tremendous impact on the provision of library services. Through this paper, the authors have provided one institution's experiences both in benefiting from and contributing to these changes.
