Digital libraries : people, knowledge, and technology : 5th International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries, ICADL 2002, Singapore, December 11-14, 2002 : proceedings

ACM JERIC is an electronic publication providing access to high quality, archival resources suitable for support of computing education. Resources include scholarly articles with wide applicability and potential impact as well as multimedia and visualization works, laboratory materials, and other digital objects of practical use supporting learning in the computing field. These may support course presentation or informal learning, either locally or through distance education activities. They may be downloaded for use by trainers, teachers, students, or other learners.JERIC resources support every aspect of computing education, whether the emphasis is on information, computation, hardware, software, theory, application, or newly emerging areas. JERIC defines computing broadly to include all aspects of disciplines including, but not limited to, computer science, computer engineering, information systems, information science, and software engineering. While the primary focus of JERIC is on materials for use in undergraduate learning, other levels of instruction are welcomed.All materials selected for publication in JERIC will have demonstrated their significance in support of computing education and will have been judged of high value by qualified referees. JERIC works in conjunction with the Computing Science Teaching Center, http://www.cstc.org/, where work in progress or other less formally reviewed materials are accessible. Those submitting online to CSTC are invited to request review for JERIC if they feel the significance of their work warrants archival publication. The International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries (ICADL) is an annual international forum for participants to exchange research results, innovative ideas, and state-of-the-art developments in digital libraries. Built upon the successes of the first four ICADL conferences, the 5th ICADL Conference in Singapore was aimed at further strengthening the position of ICADL as a premier digital library conference that draws high quality papers and presentations from all around the world, while meeting the needs and interests of digital library communities in the Asia-Pacific region. The theme of the conference, “Digital Libraries: People, Knowledge & Technology,” reflects the shared belief of the organizers that success in the development and implementation of digital libraries lies in the achievement of three key areas: the richness and depth of content to meet the needs of the communities they intend to serve; the technologies that are employed to build user-centered environments through organization, interaction, and provision of access to that content; and the human elements of management policies, maintenance, and vision necessary to keep pace with new content, new technologies, and changing user needs.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Asian Digitial Libraries, ICADL 2002, held in Singapore in December 2002.
The 34 revised full papers, 20 revised short papers, and 14 posters presented together with 7 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 170 submissions. The papers are organized in sections on information retrieval, multimedia digital libraries, data mining in digital libraries, special purpose digital libraries, digital library services, digital libraries for community building, information retrieval and Asian languages, building and using digital libraries, metadata issues, algorithms and prools, human-computer interaction, and digital library infrastructure.
