RESÚMENES DE LOS TRABAJOS FINALES DE GRADUACIÓN 2001

El trabajo final de graduación consistió en una práctica dirigida realizada en biblioteca pública municipal de belén, con el objetivo de elaborar el catálogo de normalización de términos, que sirviera de apoyo en el proceso de indización de los documentos. por tanto, fue necesario la elaboración de un instrumento de control terminológico que registrará la terminología empleada por la biblioteca y que brindara seguridad en la recuperación de la información. La finalidad de este proyecto final de graduación fue diseñar y crear un instructivo para orientar a los usuarios, en el uso adecuado de los recursos de la biblioteca escolar, facilitándoles una inducción apropiada mediante la herramienta “biblioesc”, que significa biblioteca y escuela; elaborada con base en las necesidades de los usuarios, bibliotecólogos y los docentes escolares. contiene: pantallas llamativas con color, vínculos que guían de una pantalla a otra, texto, imágenes y sonidos.

Editorial

Nuestro Boletín No. 4 presenta a Uds. un artículo extenso sobre recuperación de información en forma automatizada.La presentación de dicho artículo coincide con un acontecimiento importante en el campo de la información documental: la inauguración del primer banco de datos para recuperación de información en línea en la Universidad Nacional. Este banco de datos es el primero de una serie que se construirán en el Centro de Documentación de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, a partir de los cuales se pretende que la investigación que se realiza dé un salto cualitativo. A su vez la Unidad de Bibliotecología usará una terminal para enseñar a los estudiantes, mediante una metodología que no tiene precedentes en el país.

Servicios a usuarios: La recuperación de la información y los lenguajes documentales

En este último cuarto de siglo XX lo que fue apenas necesario solo hace diez años, hoy es imperioso, tratándose de la recuperación de la información. La inmensa masa de información que hoy circula en el mundo, rompe toda posibilidad humana, individual o colectiva de abarcarla, de almacenarla y lo más importante, de darla a conocer.La forma tradicional de buscar materiales para sacar información va quedando atrás, corta ante un cúmulo tan grande de bibliografía, general o especializada que hoy se publica.Las bibliotecas que no utilizan técnicas modernas para entresacar, de toda esta información la que le conviene al lector, y siguen manejando documentos con la lentitud con que se manejaron hace un siglo, están limitado el servicio, que deben ser dinámico y acorde con los tiempos que se viven, a un servicio que ya no cumple con las necesidades para las cuales fue creado.

kpath: An example of metabolic pathway data integration using Linked Data

The main databases related to metabolic pathways, such as Kegg, Brenda, Reactome and Biocyc, provide partially interlinked data on metabolic pathways. This limitation only allows independent searches to retrieve cross-database information on metabolism and restricts the use of more complex searches to discover new knowledge or relationships.

Real-time audio interaction in serious games for music learning

In this LBD, we present several Apps for playing while learning music or for learning music while playing. The core of all the games is based on the good performance of the real-time audio interaction algorithms developed by the ATIC group at Universidad de Ma ́laga (SPAIN).

Modeling spectral changes in singing voice for pitch modification

We present an advanced method to achieve natural modifications when applying a pitch shifting process to singing voice by modifying the spectral envelope of the audio ex- cerpt. To this end, an all-pole spectral envelope model has been selected to describe the global variations of the spectral envelope with the changes of the pitch. We performed a pitch shifting process of some sustained vowels with the envelope processing and without it, and compared both by means of a survey open to volunteers in our website.

An approach on improving search engines through social content recommendation

Internet growth has provoked that information search had come to have one of the most relevant roles in the industry and to be one of the most current topics in research environments. Internet is the largest information container in history and its facility to generate new information leads to new challenges when talking about retrieving information and discern which one is more relevant than the rest. Parallel to the information growth in quantity, the way information is provided has also changed. One of these changes that has provoked more information traffic has been the emergence of social networks. We have seen how social networks can provoke more traffic than search engines themselves. We can draw conclusions that allow us to take a new approach to the information retrieval problem. Public trusts the most information coming from known contacts. In this document we will explore a possible change in classic search engines to bring them closer to the social side and adquire those social advantages.

Medical-miner at TREC 2011 medical records track

This paper presents work done at Medical Minner Project on the TREC-2011 Medical Records Track. The paper proposes four models for medical information retrieval based on Lucene index approach. Our retrieval engine used an Lucen Index scheme with traditional stopping and stemming, enhanced with entity recognition software on query terms. Our aim in this first competition is to set a broader project that involves the develop of a configurable Apache Lucene-based framework that allows the rapid development of medical search facilities. Results around the track median have been achieved. In this exploratory track, we think that these results are a good beginning and encourage us for future developments.

Informationen verzweifelt gesucht – Enterprise Search in österreichischen Großunternehmen

Die Arbeit geht dem Status quo der unternehmensweiten Suche in österreichischen Großunternehmen nach und beleuchtet Faktoren, die darauf Einfluss haben. Aus der Analyse des Ist-Zustands wird der Bedarf an Enterprise-Search-Software abgeleitet und es werden Rahmenbedingungen für deren erfolgreiche Einführung skizziert. Die Untersuchung stützt sich auf eine im Jahr 2009 durchgeführte Onlinebefragung von 469 österreichischen Großunternehmen (Rücklauf 22 %) und daran anschließende Leitfadeninterviews mit zwölf Teilnehmern der Onlinebefragung. Der theoretische Teil verortet die Arbeit im Kontext des Informations- und Wissensmanagements. Der Fokus liegt auf dem Ansatz der Enterprise Search, ihrer Abgrenzung gegenüber der Suche im Internet und ihrem Leistungsspektrum. Im empirischen Teil wird zunächst aufgezeigt, wie die Unternehmen ihre Informationen organisieren und welche Probleme dabei auftreten. Es folgt eine Analyse des Status quo der Informationssuche im Unternehmen. Abschließend werden Bekanntheit und Einsatz von Enterprise-Search-Software in der Zielgruppe untersucht sowie für die Einführung dieser Software nötige Rahmenbedingungen benannt. Defizite machen die Befragten insbesondere im Hinblick auf die übergreifende Suche im Unternehmen und die Suche nach Kompetenzträgern aus. Hier werden Lücken im Wissensmanagement offenbar. 29 % der Respondenten der Onlinebefragung geben zudem an, dass es in ihren Unternehmen gelegentlich bis häufig zu Fehlentscheidungen infolge defizitärer Informationslagen kommt. Enterprise-Search-Software kommt in 17 % der Unternehmen, die sich an der Onlinebefragung beteiligten, zum Einsatz. Die durch Enterprise-Search-Software bewirkten Veränderungen werden grundsätzlich positiv beurteilt. Alles in allem zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass Enterprise-Search-Strategien nur Erfolg haben können, wenn man sie in umfassende Maßnahmen des Informations- und Wissensmanagements einbettet.

The Strange Case of Eugenics: A Subject’s Ontogeny in a Long-Lived Classification Scheme and the Question of Collocative Integrity

Classification schemes are built at a particular point in time; at inception, they reflect a worldview indicative of that time. This is their strength, but results in potential weak- nesses as worldviews change. For example, if a scheme of mathematics is not updated even though the state of the art has changed, then it is not a very useful scheme to users for the purposes of information retrieval. However, change in schemes is a good thing. Changing allows designers of schemes to update their model and serves as a responsible mediator between resources and users. But change does come at a cost. In the print world, we revise universal clas- sification schemes—sometimes in drastic ways—and this means that over time, the power of a classification scheme to collocate is compromised if we do not account for scheme change in the organization of affected physical resources. If we understand this phenomenon in the print world, we can design ameliorations for the digital world.

Ontologies and the Semantic Web: Problems and Perspectives for LIS Professionals

Many years have passed since Berners-Lee envi- sioned the Web as it should be (1999), but still many information professionals do not know their precise role in its development, especially con- cerning ontologies –considered one of its main elements. Why? May it still be a lack of under- standing between the different academic commu- nities involved (namely, Computer Science, Lin- guistics and Library and Information Science), as reported by Soergel (1999)? The idea behind the Semantic Web is that of several technologies working together to get optimum information re- trieval performance, which is based on proper resource description in a machine-understandable way, by means of metadata and vocabularies (Greenberg, Sutton and Campbell, 2003). This is obviously something that Library and Information Science professionals can do very well, but, are we doing enough? When computer scientists put on stage the ontology paradigm they were asking for semantically richer vocabularies that could support logical inferences in artificial intelligence as a way to improve information retrieval systems. Which direction should vocabulary development take to contribute better to that common goal? The main objective of this paper is twofold: 1) to identify main trends, issues and problems con- cerning ontology research and 2) to identify pos- sible contributions from the Library and Information Science area to the development of ontologies for the semantic web. To do so, our paper has been structured in the following manner. First, the methodology followed in the paper is reported, which is based on a thorough literature review, where main contributions are analysed. Then, the paper presents a discussion of the main trends, issues and problems concerning ontology re- search identified in the literature review. Recom- mendations of possible contributions from the Library and Information Science area to the devel- opment of ontologies for the semantic web are finally presented.
