Informal 5S & DL Definitions
DLs are complex systems that
•
•
•
•
•
help satisfy info needs of users (societies)
provide info services (scenarios)
organize info in usable ways (structures)
present info in usable ways (spaces)
communicate info with users (streams)
14
Hypotheses
• A formal theory for DLs can be built
based on 5S.
• The formalization can serve as a
basis for modeling and building highquality DLs.
15
Research Questions
1. Can we formally elaborate 5S?
2. How can we use 5S to formally describe digital libraries?
3. What are the fundamental relationships among the Ss
and high-level DL concepts?
4. How can we allow digital librarians to easily express
those relationships?
5. Which are the fundamental quality properties of a DL?
Can we use the formalized DL framework to
characterize those properties?
6. Where in the life cycle of digital libraries can key aspects
of quality be measured and how?

ETANA-DL Approach
• Applying and extending Digital Library (DL)
techniques to solve key problems: making primary
data available, data preservation, and interoperability
• Modeling archaeological information systems using
5S to better understand the domain and design the
system and the supporting services
• Rapidly prototyping DLs that handle heterogeneous
archaeological data using componentized
frameworks:
– eliciting requirements
– refining metamodel and union schema
– modeling sites
– mapping
– harvesting
31
– providing useful services

ETANA Societies
1. Historic and pre-historic societies (being studied)
2. Archaeologists (in academic institutes, fieldwork
settings, or local and national governmental
bodies)
3. Project directors
4. Technical staff (consisting of photographers,
technical illustrators, and their assistants)
5. Field staff (responsible for the actual work of
excavation)
6. Camp staff (e.g., camp managers, registrars, tool
stewards)
7. General public (e.g., educators, learners, citizens)
44
ETANA Societies
•
Social issues
1. Who owns the finds?
2. Where should they be preserved?
3. What nationality and ethnicity do they
represent?
4. Who has publication rights?
5. What interactions took place between those
at the site studied, and others? What
theories are proposed by whom about this?
45
ETANA Scenarios
1.

3.
4.
Life in the site in former times
Digital recording: the planning stage and the excavation stage
Planning stage: remote sensing, fieldwalking, field surveys, building
surveys, consulting historical and other documentary sources, and
managing the sites and monuments
Excavation
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Detailed information is recorded, including for each layer of soil, and for
features such as pole holes, pits, and ditches.
Data about each artifact is recorded together with information about its
exact find spot.
Numerous environmental and other samples are taken for laboratory
analysis, and the location and purpose of each is carefully recorded.
Large numbers of photographs are taken, both general views of the
progress of excavation and detailed shots showing the contexts of finds.
Organization and storage of material
Analysis and hypotheses generation and testing
Publications, museum displays
Information services for the general public
46
ETANA Spaces
1. Geographic distribution of found artifacts
2. Temporal dimension (as inferred by
archaeologists)
3. Metric or vector spaces
1. used to support retrieval operations, and to
calculate distance (and similarity)
2. used to browse / constrain searches spatially
4. 3D models of the past, used to reconstruct and
visualize archaeological ruins
5. 2D interfaces for human-computer interaction
47
ETANA Structures
1. Site Organization
1. Region, site, partition, sub-partition, locus,
…
2. Temporal orderings (ages, periods)
3. Taxonomies
1. for bones, seeds, building materials, …
4. Stratigraphic relationships
1. above, beneath, coexistent
48
ETANA Streams
1. successive photos and drawings of
excavation sites, loci, unearthed artifacts
2. audio and video recordings of excavation
activities and discussions
3. textual reports
4. 3D models used to reconstruct and
visualize archaeological ruins.

NSDL ProgramTracks
• Core Integration: coordinate a distributed alliance of resource
collection and service providers; and ensure reliable and
extensible access to and usability of the resulting network of
learning environments and resources
• Collections: aggregate and actively manage a subset of the
digital library’s content within a coherent theme / specialty
• Services: increase the impact, reach, efficiency, and value of
the digital library in its fully operational form
• Targeted (Applied) Research: have immediate impact on
one or more of the other three tracks
• Pathways: large efforts across broad ranges of areas or
approaches or users

Why ETD? Short Answer
• For Students:
– Gain knowledge and skills for the Information Age
– Richer communication (digital information, multimedia, …)
• For Universities:
– Easy way to enter the digital library field and benefit
thereby
• For the World:
– Global digital library – large, useful, many services
• General:
– Save time and money
– Increased visibility for all associated with research results

Describing Quality in
Digital Libraries
• What’s a “good” digital Library?
– Central Concept: Quality!
– Hypotheses of this work:
• Formal theory can help to define “what’s a good
digital library” by:
• New formalizations of quality indicators for DLs
within our 5S framework
• Contextualizing these measures within the
Information Life Cycle
