Current research on theory and practice of digital libraries: best papers from TPDL 2019 & 2020
(2022)
This volume presents a special issue on selected papers from the 2019 & 2020 editions of the International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries (TPDL). They cover different research areas within Digital Libraries, from Ontology and Linked Data to quality in Web Archives and Topic Detection. We first provide a brief overview of both TPDL editions, and we introduce the selected papers.
Elusive flaws are identified in techniques widely adopted to organize the Material Examined sections in taxonomic publications, mostly regarding the usage of the term ibidem and the nesting of information such as country and states. Logical errors are identified that prevent objective retrieval of the original information and can hinder or block its interpretation, even in case-by-case analyses. It is demonstrated that the free usage of ibidem in the sense of “same as previous except as follows” compromises the interpretation of data, characterizing bad practice. Solutions are proposed for the precise usage of both the term ibidem and the nesting technique. A new technique for organizing, compressing, and presenting information, called grid-setting, is described and evaluated. Its most notable practical effect is that the Material Examined section becomes literally a coded data sheet, which can be accurately converted back to spreadsheet format. In addition, the grid-setting technique was able to generate texts up to 30% shorter than those edited with the best-known traditional techniques. The new ideas and fixes are incorporated into a new software, flexible enough to process varied and unlimited data into largely user-defined texts, which remain nevertheless universal in their format and logical interpretation.
Die Digitalisierung ist in den Naturwissenschaften weit vorangeschritten: Forscher*innen können in der Regel auf Zeitschriften von ihrem Arbeitsplatz oder von zu Hause aus zugreifen. In der Bibliothek Naturwissenschaften (BNat) im Otto-SternZentrum trifft man daher vor allem Studierende an – nicht nur zur Stillarbeit, sondern auch in Gruppenräumen zum gemeinsamen Lernen. Auch dort benutzt man beim Erarbeiten von Formeln gerne noch »Stift und Tafel«.
