  4. User Communities/Groups of users (Preliminary: the scenario) Search & Browse Information sources DIGITAL ARCHIVE 1 DIGITAL ARCHIVE 2 DIGITAL ARCHIVE n Large, heterogeneous, multidisciplinary digital archives distributed over the Web

  5. Project Goal • Individual users • Communities/Groups of users Development of an open collaborative virtual archive environment supporting interacting with • Large, heterogeneous, multidisciplinary digital archives distributed over the Web

  6. Logical View Communities/Groups of users User CYCLADES Virtual Archive Environment DIGITAL ARCHIVE 1 DIGITAL ARCHIVE 2 DIGITAL ARCHIVE n ... Large, heterogeneous, multidisciplinary digital archives distributed over the Web

  7. CYCLADES • The Digital Archives • CYCLADES functionality • CYCLADES architecture

  8. The Digital Archives • CYCLADES will provide access to the Digital Archives compliant with the Open Archive Initiative

  9. the Open Archives Initiative • Agreement between several Digital Archives in order to provide interoperability • The specs give data providers(individual archives) easy-to-implement mechanisms for making the documents’metadatain their archives externally available • This external availability then makes it possible for service providers to build higher levels of functionality http://www.openarchives.org FOR MORE INFO...

  12. Header: Identifier : oai:arXiv:cond-mat/0006408 Datestamp : 2001-01-31 Metadata: oai_dc: title: Charge-ordering phase transition and order-disorder effects in the Raman spectra of NaV2O5 creator: Konstantinovic, M. J. creator: Isobe, M. creator: Ueda, Y. subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons; Disordered Systems and Neural Networks description: In the ac polarized Raman spectra of NaV2O5 we have found anomalous phonon broadening, and an energy shift of the low-frequency mode as a function of the temperature. These effects are related to the breaking of translational symmetry, caused by electrical disorder that originates from the fluctuating nature of the V {4.5+} valence state of vanadium. The structural correlation length, obtained from comparisons between the measured and calculated Raman scattering spectra, diverges at T< 5 K, indicating the existence of the long-range charge order at very low temperatures, probably at T=0 K. date: 2000-06-26 type: e-print identifier: http://arXiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0006408

  15. Common Interface Common Interface Common Interface ArchiveN Archive2 Archive1 OAI Archives Virtual Collections (roughly) • Virtual Collection: a set of metadata records collected together, according to some criteria, from the archives + set of functionality over records Virtual Collection VC1 VC2 VC3 Exported data

  16. Search & Browse (roughly) • Search: typical Search using the virtual collection’s search fields (e.g. author, title, abstract) • Query formulation through browsing Browse Search Schema Attribute VirtualCollection = “Logic”, Author = “Straccia”, Abstract = “Fuzzy Logic” Author Abstract Title ... Castelli Straccia Thanos ...

  17. Information Retieval Umberto’s folder Digital Libraries Fuzzy Logic Logics for Uncertainity and Imprecision Possibilistic Logic Probabilistic Logic Personalization (roughly) • User topics of interest maybe managed similarly to e-mail folders • Service learns the user information needs automatically • New data is classified into the right topic folder automatically

  18. Collaboration (roughly) • A shared working space can be created by groups referencing: • user documents • a virtual archive • recommendations, related links, annotations, ratings, … VC Based on BSCW (Basic Support for Cooperative Work) To be read Very interisting doc http://infohunter.iei.pi.cnr.it Shared working space

  19. Recommendation (roughly) • The user is automatically notified about new data that the system judges relevant User prefs Group prefs + = Recommendation

  20. CYCLADES: Architecture (starting point) • Modular • Basic functionality are allocated on servers • Distributed • Servers maybe over the Web • Open • new services can easily be added
