Integration of VT ETD-db with Banner
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2008), TR-08-04
The Electronic Thesis and Dissertation database (ETD-db) was developed at Virginia Tech by Digital Library and Archives for the VT Graduate School and the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD). The ...
Science of Digital Libraries(SciDL)
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2003), TR-03-13
Our purpose is to ensure that people and institutions better manage information through digital libraries (DLs). Thus we address a fundamental human and social need, which is particularly urgent in the modern Information ...
Incremental, Semi-automatic, Mapping-Based Integration of Heterogeneous Collections into Archaeological Digital Libraries: Megiddo Case Study
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2005), TR-05-06
Automation is an important issue when integrating heterogeneous collections into archaeological digital libraries. We propose an incremental approach through intermediary- and mapping-based techniques. A visual schema ...
Order Preserving Minimal Perfect Hash Functions and Information Retrieval
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 1991), TR-91-01
Rapid access to information is essential for a wide variety of retrieval systems and applications. Hashing has long been used when the fastest possible direct search is desired, but is generally not appropriate when ...
Search Tool Implementation for Historical Archive
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2004), TR-04-09
Dr. Linda Arnold's archival project "Mexican-American War and the Media" is an underutilized resource. Providing contrasting primary sources on the War, it is the only archive of its kind. In order to make the archive's ...
EtanaViz: A Visual User Interface to Archaeological Digital Libraries
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2005-10-01), TR-05-14
Analyzing and hypothesizing are important scientific processes involved in archaeological activity. In this paper, we describe a visual user interface closely coupled with services for archaeological digital libraries, to ...
Implementation of a Perfect Hash Function Scheme
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 1989-03-01), TR-89-09
This report surveys the recent development in computing perfect hash functions, and in particular, closely examines an algorithm proposed by Thomas Sager. An implementation of that algorithm in C has been done to demonstrate ...
ETANA-DL: A Digital Library for Integrated Handling of Heterogeneous Archaeological Data
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2004), TR-04-04
Archaeologists have to deal with vast quantities of information, generated both in the field and laboratory. That information is heterogeneous in nature, and different projects have their own systems to store and use it. ...
Characterizing World Wide Web Queries
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 1997-02-01), TR-97-04
Locating information on the WWW is a major activity for users, and Web Information Retrieval Systems (IRS) are becoming more important to support their endeavors. In this paper we characterize queries performed by Web ...
Clustering for Data Reduction: A Divide and Conquer Approach
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2007-10-01), TR-07-36
We consider the problem of reducing a potentially very large dataset to a subset of representative prototypes. Rather than searching over the entire space of prototypes, we first roughly divide the data into balanced ...
