项目摘要

The principal purpose of this research is to investigated methodologies to realize multimedia oriented library information systems, which include technological aspects such as organization and storage of multimedia information, and user environments which help users access multimedia information. The research team has also focussed on basic aspects to realize the digital library. The systems developed and aspects gained through this research have been published through a series of workshops and the international Symposium on digital libraries held at University of Library and Information Science (ULIS), major international conferences and academic journals.The major systems developed in this research are,1) an OPAC with a bookshelf-like graphical user interface (SOPAC),2) a computer supported cooperative work tool oriented to reference work (CSCW), and3) a multi-lingual browser for WWW documents (MHTML).In addition, the team has developed a couple of systems related to these systems, w … More hich include a Japanese OPAC for oversea users, a book selection assistant system via the Internet, and so on.SOPAC is developed based on the OPAC database of the ULIS library without any modification of the data records. This point is crucial from a practical viewpoint to enhance accessibility to information based only on presently usable information.CSCW has a TV-phone and a virtual display shared among a librarian and a user. The team made an experiment to teach a student how to use an OPAC with a graphical user interface and got a positive result.MHTML consists of a set of Java applets running on a WWW client browser and a gateway which has a bank of multi-lingual fonts. A user need nothing special but only Java to access multi-lingual documents, which are not displayable using a set of fonts installed on a user's browser. This kind of service is quite fruitful for libraries since it is impractical to assume all users and libraries can afford a rich set of fonts locally and users need only off-the-shelf software. Less

这项研究的主要目的是研究实现多媒体图书馆信息系统的方法，其中包括组织和存储多媒体信息的技术方面以及帮助用户访问多媒体信息的用户环境。研究团队还专注于实现数字图书馆的基本方面。这项研究开发的系统和各个方面已经通过一系列研讨会以及在图书馆和信息科学大学（ULIS），主要国际会议和学术期刊举行的国际数字图书馆研讨会上发表，这项研究中开发的主要系统是，1）与书架式图形用户界面（SOPAC）的OPAC（1）OPAC（SSC），2）工具（2）工具（2）工具（2）工具（COPELITY WORKED ANIVERIAD ANIVERIAD）工具，即此外，该团队还开发了几个与这些系统相关的系统，W ...更多地吸引了日本的OPAC为海外用户吸引日本OPAC，通过Internet的书籍选择助理系统，SSOPAC是根据Ulis库的OPAC数据库开发的，而没有任何数据记录的任何修改。从实际的角度来看，这一点至关重要，可以增强基于当前可用信息的信息的可访问性。CSCW在Libraarian和用户之间具有电视电话和虚拟显示。团队进行了一个实验，以教给学生如何使用图形用户界面使用OPAC并获得积极的结果。MHTML由在www客户端浏览器上运行的一组Java小程序组成，以及具有多种语言字体的网关。用户除了Java只能访问多语言文档，而使用用户浏览器上安装的一组字体则无法显示多种语言文档。对于图书馆来说，这种服务是非常富有成效的，因为假设所有用户和图书馆都能在本地提供丰富的字体，而用户只需要现成的软件是不切实际的。较少的
