A Computer Collation of Medieval Slavic Menologies

Author(s): Cynthia M. Vakareliyska,Kevork Horissian,Heather Pankl / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/1998

The computer collation project was originally conceived with the narrow purpose of providing a mechanism for identifying the textual tradition of the Curzon and Banica menologies by comparing them against a wide variety of contemporaneous and older Slavic menologies. It became clear, however, that the same corpus and search program that would permit the comparative analysis of these two individual menology texts could also be employed more broadly to collate the corpus by specific textual patterns, in this way establishing a typology of medieval Slavic menology traditions which could be used, together with the text corpus itself, by other scholars both as a framework for analysis of any given menology manuscript, and as a means of tracing manuscript relationships.

A demonstrative system for scientific and technological information and documentation

Author(s): Doina Banciu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2010

The article presents part of the results of a scientific research meant to create a Demonstrative system for scientific and technological information and documentation, submitted as a project belonging to the sector plan (2009). It provides information on the structure and functions of the system as much as on its functioning. The system contributes on the one hand to the creation of a “national system of training in the use of electronic information resources for information and documentation and for the communication of the international fund of literature in the field of science and technology” and on the other hand to the creation of an “electronic repository type of an information and documentation system for the access and use of the national fund of literature and research results in science and technology”.

A distinctive perspective on the bibliographic research in the digital era (I)

Author(s): Silvia-Adriana Tomescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 20/2016

In this essay we intend to underline the importance of bibliographies, in the scientific research process. We aim to emphasize the capability of these works to gather, synthesize in a distinctive manner, types of sources, resources, documents, so that spheres of scientific knowledge benefit of a clear and objective image at a definite moment. Our intention in this approach is to discuss the necessity to create standardized synthesis of the scientific domains through bibliographies, in order to support basic literacy needs of the readers and to offer a global view of the topic explored. A less treated aspect in the scientific literature that we aim to highlight in the present paper is the role and pragmatics of bibliographies, the transdisciplinary dimension of such tools that now, in the globalised era has the power to send the researcher in the virtual space of interconnected documents, of digital archives and libraries offering a comprehensive picture of the subjects investigated.

A few aspects regarding the implementation of Open Access eScholarship repositories

Case study: TSpace – the eScholarship Repository of University of Toronto (Canada)

Author(s): Tamina Basarab / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015

The key role played by scholarly publishing in the academic institutions can be amplified by the implementation of open access eScholarship repositories as a partnership between the institution and its academic community. These institutional repositories will allow open access to scholarly work and wider dissemination of knowledge. In this article we will review some of the requirements and challenges encountered by the higher education institutions in the implementation of their eScholarship repositories. The case of TSpace, University of Toronto’s (Canada) eScholarship repository, will be used throughout the article to illustrate some of the issues discussed.

A Good Practice (based on ELINET criteria) of Non-formal Education Involving a Library to Improve Literacy Skills (on the example of Hungarian project)

Author(s): Ildikó Szabó / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2018

Started in February 2014, ELINET project run for 2 years including 28 European countries. It aimed to analyse and consult on literacy policies at a local, regional, national, and trans-national level, raising awareness of literacy issues and coordinating campaigns. Ultimately, the fruit of this network was to include a European framework of good practice in raising literacy levels and a sample of corresponding examples. The paper is to present the way good practices were collected and reviewed; and introduces a good practice (run by John von Neumann University Pedagogical Faculty, “Reading belongs to everyone, even to you!”) based on the ELINET good practice framework. // Rozpoczęty w lutym 2014 r. Projekt ELINET był realizowany przez 2 lata, przez 28 krajów europejskich. Jego celem była analiza i konsultacje w zakresie lokalnych, regionalnych, krajowych i ponadnarodowych polityk rozwoju umiejętności czytania i pisania, podnoszenie świadomości na temat alfabetyzacji oraz koordynowanie kampanii. Ostatecznie, efektem działania sieci było utworzenie Europejskiej ramy dobrych praktyk w podnoszeniu poziomu umiejętności czytania i pisania oraz przykładów jej zastosowania. Artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie sposobu, w jaki zebrano i zweryfikowano dobre praktyki, opisuje również dobrą praktykę (prowadzoną przez Wydział Pedagogiczny Uniwersytetu Johna von Neumanna w ramach programu „Czytanie należy do wszystkich, nawet do Ciebie!”), stworzoną w oparciu o dobre praktyki ELINET.

A LOW TE(A)CH APPROACH TO DIGITAL HUMANITIES

Author(s): Liviu Pop / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Technological fatigue is spreading due to the increased arrays of technological branches and the rapid pace of development. Keeping up with the latest and newest might prove not only difficult and tiring, but also not necessarily recommended to beginners in digital humanities. A more “back to the basis” approach might be more useful for students that don’t have technical backgrounds.

A Method for Modeling a Schema for Graph Databases

Author(s): Peretz Shoval / Language(s): English / Issue: VIII/2018

The recent decade had brought about massive growth in the Web and Web data - pictures, documents, videos and more. What worked well for years with relational databases is not well suited for the unstructured massive amounts of data and applications that are part of the Web, such as social networks. As a result, new types of database have emerged, including NoSQL (“not only SQL”) databases. Graph data-bases are one type of NoSQL database.

A Practical Approach to Ascertaining the Accuracy and Resolution of Post Rendered 3D Models Acquired Originally via 3D Digitization

Author(s): Feng Zhao,Soo Choon Loy / Language(s): English / Issue: VII/2017

3D digitization is becoming the norm in the preservation of tangible cultural properties be it movable or immovable. In the case of mobile cultural objects, 3D models are normally acquired through non-destructive methods such as photogrammetry or 3D scanning using structured light or laser. The continuing improvements in scanning equipment which result in higher accuracy and resolution can be translated to mean higher level of 3D data acquired. At times, the quantity of 3D data of a single model can get too large and beyond what a normal work-station can process. This is where optimization comes in. However, the level of optimization will vary to suit the final purpose or usage of the 3D model. During optimization, the resulting optimized 3D model is bound to suffer from some level of data loss when compared to the original 3D model acquired directly from laser scanning. This paper discusses a practical method devised by Amber Digital Solutions in maintaining a high level of accuracy of the final optimized model for national archival purposes which requires the highest form of quality.
