This article analyses the extent to which archival exemptions for historical, scientific and statistical research in privacy
legislation support preservation in selected European Union countries, and comparable aspects of Australian, American and
Canadian law within a legal, ethical and digital archival perspective. The authors recommend that the further processing of
personal data under data protection law be given a wider scope of interpretation for archival preservation purposes in both
the public and private sector, coupled with the use of researcher and archival codes in relation to access to personal data.
They also recommend early appraisal and integration of privacy with freedom of information and archival regimes.

World Book and Copyright Day was established by a resolution of the 28th General Council of UNESCO in 1995. Its avowed aim
was ‘to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people,
to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered
the social and cultural progress of humanity.’ This article examines the context for World Book and Copyright Day, the extent
to which cultural and commercial interests have converged in the activities of the day and argues that an analysis of the
activities of the day reveal a specifically European attitude to book culture.

This article is a general introduction into the special issue of Archival Science on “archiving research data”. It summarizes
the different contributions and gives an overview of the main issues in this special field of archiving. One of the leading
questions is how and why research data archives differ from public record offices. In the past, the developments in these
two worlds have been rather separate. There are however signs that they are converging in the digital world. In particular,
this can be seen in the areas of metadata and Internet dissemination as these are strongly influenced by the rapid changes
in information technology. These changes have also led to important new developments in the infrastructure of research data
to which special attention is paid. New concepts such as collaboratories, data curation, Open Access and the Open Archives
Initiative are discussed.

This paper, based on PhD research, reflects upon the market for electronic books in the general trade sectors of UK and US
publishers during the early years of the 21st century. The paper reports on interviews carried out with publishers between
2003 and 2005, and reflects upon four areas which presented and still present challenges to the uptake of e-books—negative
perceptions from consumers; formats; pricing and issues regarding digital rights. The paper concludes that the development
and uptake of electronic books has some way to go in the general trade/mass-market sectors.

Intelligent use of the many diverse forms of data available on the Internet requires new tools for managing and manipulating
heterogeneous forms of information. This paper uses WHIRL, an extension of relational databases that can manipulate textual
data using statistical similarity measures developed by the information retrieval community. We show that although WHIRL is
designed for more general similarity-based reasoning tasks, it is competitive with mature systems designed explicitly for
inductive classification. In particular, WHIRL is well suited for combining different sources of knowledge in the classification
process. We show on a diverse set of tasks that the use of appropriate sets of unlabeled background knowledge often decreases
error rates, particularly if the number of examples or the size of the strings in the training set is small. This is especially
useful when labeling text is a labor-intensive job and when there is a large amount of information available about a particular
problem on the World Wide Web.

Bestsellers are an important commercial and social phenomenon. The paper defines and analyses bestsellers in the UK between
1998 and 2005, following on earlier work by one of the authors. It is concluded that there is a core groups of genres and
authors dominating the bestseller lists, although there are also unexpected successes, especially at Christmas time. There
is some evidence of long-term changes in taste, including the apparent decline in the popularity of romantic fiction and the
growth of fantasy literature. It is also shown that media and movie adaptations and spin-offs are now an integral part of
this dimension of the book industry.

Participatory archive: towards decentralised curation,radical user orientation,and broader contextualisation of records management 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
Isto Huvila 《Archival Science》2008,8(1):15-36
User perspective and user studies have received noticeably little practical attention in archives and archival science. The
purpose of this article is to address the issues of communication and user participation in archival contexts. Two action
research projects-based digital archives are discussed. The insights gained during the research and development work are used
to formulate a new approach to a participatory archive. In spite of the historical nature of the archives discussed, the suggested ways of interacting with an archive are not specific
to historical records. The fundamental characteristics of the proposed approach are decentralised curation, radical user orientation,
and contextualisation of both records and the entire archival process.

Collaborative Filtering (CF) Systems have been studied extensively for more than a decade to confront the “information overload”
problem. Nearest-neighbor CF is based either on similarities between users or between items, to form a neighborhood of users
or items, respectively. Recent research has tried to combine the two aforementioned approaches to improve effectiveness. Traditional
clustering approaches (k-means or hierarchical clustering) has been also used to speed up the recommendation process. In this paper, we use biclustering
to disclose this duality between users and items, by grouping them in both dimensions simultaneously. We propose a novel nearest-biclusters
algorithm, which uses a new similarity measure that achieves partial matching of users’ preferences. We apply nearest-biclusters
in combination with two different types of biclustering algorithms—Bimax and xMotif—for constant and coherent biclustering,
respectively. Extensive performance evaluation results in three real-life data sets are provided, which show that the proposed
method improves substantially the performance of the CF process.

Modeling context through domain ontologies 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Nathalie Hernandez Josiane Mothe Claude Chrisment Daniel Egret 《Information Retrieval》2007,10(2):143-172
Traditional information retrieval systems aim at satisfying most users for most of their searches, leaving aside the context
in which the search takes place. We propose to model two main aspects of context: The themes of the user's information need
and the specific data the user is looking for to achieve the task that has motivated his search. Both aspects are modeled
by means of ontologies. Documents are semantically indexed according to the context representation and the user accesses information
by browsing the ontologies. The model has been applied to a case study that has shown the added value of such a semantic representation
of context.

This article concentrates on the retro-archiving of older digital research data. The ADA approach was developed and used to retro-archive older data files, most of which were between 10 and 30 years old. The origin and
main characteristics of the ADA approach are described in the second section of the article. The third section discusses two
recent data-archiving pilot projects that were conducted in the Netherlands. The first of these projects, the ADA project,
laid the foundation for the ADA approach, which was subsequently applied and tested again in the second project, eDNA, which focused on archaeological data. The final section of the article provides a comparison of the results of these
two projects.

A comparison of analyses of the Scottish publishing industry carried out in 1992, 2002 and 2007 underscores the fragility
of the sector within a small country within the English-language community. A number of indices reveal either stability or
stagnation and the picture emerges of the remarkable tenacity of publishing in Scotland. Although there is already a significant
and vital element of state support for publishing in Scotland, further intervention will be necessary to ensure fulfilment
of its potential.

We present software that generates phrase-based concordances in real-time based on Internet searching. When a user enters
a string of words for which he wants to find concordances, the system sends this string as a query to a search engine and
obtains search results for the string. The concordances are extracted by performing statistical analysis on search results
and then fed back to the user. Unlike existing tools, this concordance consultation tool is language-independent, so concordances
can be obtained even in a language for which there are no well-established analytical methods. Our evaluation has revealed
that concordances can be obtained more effectively than by only using a search engine directly.
