Hypertextualization of library and information educational activities for the Federal state educational standard implementation

Information structuring is seen as an efficient way to develop social communication. The study task is to reveal theoretical and technological background of hypertextualization of library and information educational environment. The substance, functions, structural elements of hypertext and its advantages for social communication are described. Specifications of using hypertext technologies for education are discussed, along with principles of hypertext design and perception via digital academic complex, digital textbooks, digital bibliographies as the multifunctional open subsystems of digital learning materials interrelated structurally and methodologically in the library and information disciplines.The authors analyzee the experience of Belgorod State Institute of Arts and Culture in designing hypertext resource providing the completeness, accessibility and relevance of using information educational resources and information communication technologies in every type of learning activities. These efforts are seen by the faculty as one of the ways to support professional education methodologically.

Focused Web Crawler For Retrieving Relevant Contents

The rapid growth of the World-Wide Web creates unusual scaling challenges for the purpose of general crawlers and for search engines also. we delineate a new hypertext resource discovery system which is called as Focused Crawler. The main aim of a focused crawler is to seek out the pages selectively which are very relevant to a previous defined set of topics. The topics are specified not only by using keywords, but also using prototypical documents. Instead of collecting and indexing all accessible Web documents we should also be able to answer all the possible ad-hoc queries, The main work of focused crawler is to analyze its crawl boundary to find out the links that are mostly alike for the crawl, and it avoids the unnecessary and irrelevant regions of the Web. This leads to savings in the hardware resources and network resources also and it helps the crawl for more up-to-date. A classifier that evaluates the suitable hypertext documents with respect to the relevant topics, and a distiller is introduced to filter the unwanted topic from the whole content. Focused crawling acquires relevant pages while standard crawling quickly loses its way, even though they are very similar. Focused crawling is robust against large troubles for the initial set of URLs. Focused crawling is very effective for building good quality collections of the Web documents on specific topics, using modest desktop hardware.

The Use of Hypermedia Technologies in Higher Education Institutions during Covid Lockdown

The World Wide Web continuously provides rapid access to information, and numerous information resources, virtually unlimited. The convenience and interactivity of its usage encourage people to turn to it in the educational process rather often while teaching or studying unfamiliar topics. Hypertext resources of different kinds have become a virtual educational environment. They offer new opportunities for structuring, presenting, adapting, and integrating contemporary learning materials. Besides, hypermedia technologies have made a considerable breakthrough in the educational process, particularly in self-education, combining hitherto incompatible elements. The article focuses on practical experience in the introduction of hypertext in the educational process of higher education institutions in general and during pandemic periods, in particular, the world faces nowadays. In the course of the research, it was emphasized that such technologies are pretty significant in implementing distance learning. Hypermedia technologies create especially suitable conditions for the independent acquisition and quality assimilation of the necessary information, which can be easily integrated into the educational process. The provided analysis of the implementation of e-learning materials based on hypertext and multimedia tools made it possible to point out the advantages and disadvantages of the described technologies (compared to traditional usage of printed textbooks), thus identifying their didactic potential. They became especially of great importance during the coronavirus lockdown.

Building Datalex Decision Support Systems: A Tutorial on Rule-Based Reasoning in Law

This tutorial aims to provide a practical introduction to rule-based inferencing (reasoning) systems in law, developed using AustLII’s DataLex software, and utilising the web as a platform. It covers the development of a backward and forward chaining rule-base; publishing and running a rule-base on AustLII’s DataLex community website; integration of rule-bases with hypertext and search resources on AustLII and elsewhere; and ‘co-operative inferencing’ (rule-bases by different authors distributed across web sites but operating in tandem). Document generation and case-based inferencing using the DataLex software is also covered in brief. From mid-2017, AustLII is integrating and further developing a set of tools, and development approaches, for the purpose of building legal decision support systems. These include the DataLex inferencing software, the AustLII Communities framework for development of both inferencing applications and supporting interpretative materials, and methods of integration with AustLII’s databases. Together, these make up the DataLex legal decision support system. The primary purpose for which this system is being developed is to assist providers of free legal advice to develop sustainable free legal advisory systems to assist them (and their clients) in their work. The DataLex software is not at this stage being provided as open source software, but rather as ‘free use for free legal advice providers’. The Tutorial is a working document and will be revised regularly. Users should check whether an updated version is available on SSRN or AustLII.

Contextualization in hypermedia news report: narrative and immersion

The mobile journalism and, particularly, hypermedia stories get new possibilities for making narratives, boosted by the mobility itself, and also by the use of touchable screens, accelerometer, GPS receiver and permanent connection to the internet. Due to these potentials, tablets, smartphones and wearables reconfigure processes and journalistic narratives for the web. From this premise, the article focuses the research in hypermedia storytelling for mobile devices, aiming to observe how the hypertext resources are used in the contextualization of journalistic narratives published at mobile devices (tablets and smartphones). To achieve this aim, we realized a systematic analysis from newspaper editions of Globo A Mais journal for two months. This was done by selecting a case exemplifying the way the hypertext features can serve the contextualization.

Anchor text mining for translation of Web queries

To discover translation knowledge in diverse data resources on the Web, this article proposes an effective approach to finding translation equivalents of query terms and constructing multilingual lexicons through the mining of Web anchor texts and link structures. Although Web anchor texts are wide-scoped hypertext resources, not every particular pair of languages contains sufficient anchor texts for effective extraction of translations for Web queries. For more generalized applications, the approach is designed based on a transitive translation model. The translation equivalents of a query term can be extracted via its translation in an intermediate language. To reduce interference from translation errors, the approach further integrates a competitive linking algorithm into the process of determining the most probable translation. A series of experiments has been conducted, including performance tests on term translation extraction, cross-language information retrieval, and translation suggestions for practical Web search services, respectively. The obtained experimental results have shown that the proposed approach is effective in extracting translations of unknown queries, is easy to combine with the probabilistic retrieval model to improve the cross-language retrieval performance, and is very useful when the considered language pairs lack a sufficient number of anchor texts. Based on the approach, an experimental system called LiveTrans has been developed for English--Chinese cross-language Web search.

Dilemmas in Balancing a University Literature Collection

Abstract This essay explores some of the conflicts faced by the author, a liaison with book-selection responsibilities to a university English Department. These conflicts include: trying to fill gaps missed by profiles set up with our book vendor; trying to achieve a reasonable balance between canonical and non-canonical texts; between primary texts and the secondary works interpreting these texts; between works that might become classic versus those that are truly ephemeral; between controversial pornography and less controversial or non-controversial erotica; and between hypertext fiction and traditional print resources.

Harnessing the Hyperlink Structure of the Web

The idea of hyperlinks came up basically as a navigational aid for browsing hypertext resources. But it has been very well harnessed for another very useful purpose—searching the hypertext repositories. In fact, this is arguably the best instance in which a thing is better utilized for a purpose other than what it was primarily meant for. We substantiate this claim in this paper, by highlighting the three main usage the hypertextual structure has been utilized for. We begin by showing how the hyperlinks are used for propelling the ranking schemes for web search. The notions of hubs and authorities on one hand, and PageRank on the other, are the keys to ranking the web search results. Next we take up the problem of finding pages related to a given seed page on the web. The motivation comes from the situation in which we don't know the precise name of the thing we are searching, rather we have a sample to be compared with. Again the hyperlinks structure comes handy in this regard. Finally, we take up the questions pointed at characterizing the web. We primarily consider the hyperlink based random walk schemes for the web, for not only comparing the quality of various search engines, but also getting to know more difficult attributes like the size of the web, the percentage of.com sites, the average size of a web page, etc.

Focused crawling: a new approach to topic-specific Web resource discovery

The rapid growth of the World-Wide Web poses unprecedented scaling challenges for general-purpose crawlers and search engines. In this paper we describe a new hypertext resource discovery system called a Focused Crawler. The goal of a focused crawler is to selectively seek out pages that are relevant to a pre-defined set of topics. The topics are specified not using keywords, but using exemplary documents. Rather than collecting and indexing all accessible Web documents to be able to answer all possible ad-hoc queries, a focused crawler analyzes its crawl boundary to find the links that are likely to be most relevant for the crawl, and avoids irrelevant regions of the Web. This leads to significant savings in hardware and network resources, and helps keep the crawl more up-to-date. To achieve such goal-directed crawling, we designed two hypertext mining programs that guide our crawler: a classifier that evaluates the relevance of a hypertext document with respect to the focus topics, and a distiller that identifies hypertext nodes that are great access points to many relevant pages within a few links. We report on extensive focused-crawling experiments using several topics at different levels of specificity. Focused crawling acquires relevant pages steadily while standard crawling quickly loses its way, even though they are started from the same root set. Focused crawling is robust against large perturbations in the starting set of URLs. It discovers largely overlapping sets of resources in spite of these perturbations. It is also capable of exploring out and discovering valuable resources that are dozens of links away from the start set, while carefully pruning the millions of pages that may lie within this same radius. Our anecdotes suggest that focused crawling is very effective for building high-quality collections of Web documents on specific topics, using modest desktop hardware.

Digital Resources for Managing Wetlands: The Case of Playa Lake Research: A Preliminary Report: Methods

The initial phase of this digital project has involved a collaborative approach to resource gathering. We have employed a diverse strategy of searching available bibliographic databases and current technologies to digitize relevant documents and images. The structure of this hypertext resource follows an intuitive menu whereby students, researchers, or managers may locate relevant articles or citations. Finally, we are considering several future enhancements to make this electronic collection of material on wetlands research more functional and more effective in meeting the information needs of interested parties into the next century.

The Syllabus Builder: A hypertext resource for teachers of literature

AN ELECTRONIC HYPERTEXT PROGRAM is the ideal environment for the creation of a resource for teachers of literature because it allows faculty users access to all of the multidimensional components that make up teaching knowledge. In designing and building an electronic teaching resource calledSyllabus Builder, we tried to maximize the fluid capabilities of a hypertext database to break down the artificial boundaries that exist between scholarly, critical, and pedagogical information, and allow users to trace paths between specific information about authors and their implementation in classroom practice.
