Abstract

Digital libraries are libraries in which collections are stored in a digital format (the metadata at least). Digital libraries are now being made publicly available. However, building good user interfaces to query heterogeneous libraries requires to have a good knowledge on the type of available information (e.g. which attributes are useful for filtering). In this project, we harvest (using the Z39.50 and OAI-PMH protocol) and analyze (in terms of useful attributes for querying) four important digital libraries: Nebis (five million items), Infoscience (sixty thousand items), CiteSeer (seven hundred thousand items) and The European Library (one and a half million items).

Library

A library is a collection of books, and possibly other materials and media, that is accessible for use by its members and members of allied institutions. Libraries provide physical (hard copies) or digital access (soft copies) materials, and may be a physical location or a virtual space, or both. A library's collection normally includes printed materials which can be borrowed, and a reference section of publications which are not permitted to leave the library and can only be viewed inside the premises.

Digital library

A digital library, also called an online library, an internet library, a digital repository, a library without walls, or a digital collection is an online database of digital objects that can include text, still images, audio, video, digital documents, or other digital media formats or a library accessible through the internet. Objects can consist of digitized content like print or photographs, as well as originally produced digital content like word processor files or social media posts.

Tangible user interface

A tangible user interface (TUI) is a user interface in which a person interacts with digital information through the physical environment. The initial name was Graspable User Interface, which is no longer used. The purpose of TUI development is to empower collaboration, learning, and design by giving physical forms to digital information, thus taking advantage of the human ability to grasp and manipulate physical objects and materials.
