Collection/Item Metadata Relationships
Show full item record Collection/Item Metadata RelationshipsThe Collection Item Metadata Relationships project has developed a framework of relationships that can occur between metadata that describes collections and metadata that describes the resources that are members of those collections. In order to examine how these relationships appear "in the wild", we have derived an RDF repository from the IMLS DCC collection repository. By querying the repository, we can see how actual descriptions

Multi-Modal Music Mood Classification
Abstract: Music mood is a newly emerged metadata type and access point to music information. However, most existing music digital libraries and online repositories do not support categorizing and retrieving music by the mood it expresses. In fact, music mood, due to its subjectivity, has been far from well studied in information science. This dissertation research aims to 1) find out mood categories that are frequently used by real-world music listeners; 2) advance the technology in automatic

Beyond Genes, Proteins, and Abstracts: Identifying Scientific Claims from Full-Text Biomedical Articles
Abstract: Massive increases in electronically available text have spurred a variety of natural language processing methods to automatically identify relationships from text; however, existing annotated collections comprise only bioinformatics (gene-protein) or clinical informatics (treatment-disease) relationships. This paper introduces the Claim Framework that reflects how authors across biomedical spectrum communicate findings in empirical studies. The Framework captures different levels of

MONK in the Library
Abstract: The MONK Project (Metadata Offer New Knowledge)has developed a collection of literary texts in English from about 1600-1900, in a variety of genres, from both commercial and public domain sources, totaling 150 million words. Texts have been brought into a uniform XML format, part-of-speech tagged, and ingested into a database, with a user-interface that facilitates statistical analysis of texts and sub-collections. In the current phase of the project, MONK is being brought up as a

Towards Categorizing and Formalizing the JDK API
Author(s): Lee, Choonghwan; Jin, Dongyun; Meredith, Patrick O'Neil; Rosu, Grigore Abstract: Formal specification of correct library usage is extremely useful, both for software developers and for the formal analysis tools they use, such as model checkers or runtime monitoring systems. Unfortunately, the process of creating formal specifications is time consuming, and, for the most part, even the libraries in greatest use, such as the Java Development Kit (JDK) standard library, are left wholly
