W5 |
Location: Roanoke Ballroom B
Expected audience: The workshop is suitable for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in the areas of information visualization, digital libraries, human-computer interaction, library and information science, and computer science.
Description: The primary aim of the workshop is to raise the awareness of several interconnected fields of research related to the design and use of visual interfaces to digital libraries, especially in information visualization, human-computer interaction, and cognitive psychology. This workshop also aims to stimulate participants to reflect on the state of the art in their own fields by identifying challenging issues concerning visual interfaces and thereby fostering a ultidisciplinary research agenda for future research and development.
Objectives:
Submission and Selection: You are invited to submit a 2-page position paper. The camera-ready copy of accepted papers can be up to 6 pages long.

Planned publications: Workshop participants will be invited to produce an extended version of their work for publication in an edited book in the Springer Book Series on Information Visualization to provide a comprehensive coverage of the topic to a wider audience.

Expected audience: Information retrieval community, Natural language processing community, Publishers and other purveyors of document content, Managers of digital libraries.
Description: Phrase browsing applications provide information seekers
with access to text content via structured lists of index terms. These lists
provide a preview of the content of a collection. The index terms, which
may be identified by a variety of techniques, are phrases that represent
important concepts referred to in a document or collection of documents.
The browsing system supports interactive navigation and organization of the
phrases.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
any aspect of phrase browsing technology, including, but not limited to,
identification of index terms, techniques for hierarchical organization of
the terms, implementation of efficient systems, usability of browsing
applications, and techniques for evaluating this technology.
Selection process: We are soliciting long papers (up to 6 pages) and short papers (up to 2 pages). We also invite proposals for a panel discussion. Submissions will be reviewed by the Chairs of the workshop and a program committee. For more information, go to the Workshop's web page, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~nina/browsingtechnologywkshop.html
Publications: Workshop Proceedings to be published electronically
on the JCDL 2001 Web Site.

Location: Roanoke Ballroom EF
Expected audience: The goal of the NKOS activity is to develop a community of researchers and developers who are working toward creating interactive Knowledge Organization Systems accessible over the Web. This includes thesaurus and ontology developers, digital library and information infrastructure developers, information scientists, and library professionals. NKOS Workshops have been held at the last three ACM DL meetings.
Description: Mapping between/among classification schemes is beneficial within an organization that has a number of implicit or explicit schemes, between organizations seeking to exchange information, and in a digital library context where collections are organized by different classifications. This cross scheme mapping could be done manually, but if many schemes are to be mapped, it may be desirable to provide automated tools to support the process. This workshop will present research and projects that identify the state-of-the-practice and outline the research agenda. Participants will also be encouraged to give short presentations on other NKOS-related activities.
Outline
Session 1: Technical Session on Classification Crosswalks
Session 2: Open Forum for Presentations of Activities and Discussion
by Participants
Session 3: Continuing work on NKOS activities: a taxonomy of knowledge
organization sources and an XML DTD for vocabulary mark-up
Selection process: First-come, first-served
Planned Publication(s): A brief report of the meeting will be published on the NKOS web site (http://knos.slis.kent.edu) and in D-Lib Magazine.
