Dong, Hui – ProQuest LLC, 2010
In current Peer-to-Peer networks, distributed and semantic free indexing is widely used by systems adopting "Distributed Hash Table" ("DHT") mechanisms. Although such systems typically solve a. user query rather fast in a deterministic way, they only support a very narrow search scheme, namely the exact hash key match. Furthermore, DHT systems put…

Caldera-Serrano, Jorge – Journal of Librarianship and Information Science, 2010
This paper describes a procedure to manage connotations, so that they may be identified in the document databases of television channels. The system is based on Ranganathan's facets, as this is the best tool to describe actions--i.e. the units analysed in television--which enable the identification of the connoted information by introducing or…

Cole, Charles; Julien, Charles-Antoine; Leide, John E. – Information Research: An International Electronic Journal, 2010
Introduction: We define the results list problem in information search and suggest the "associative index model", an ad-hoc, user-derived indexing solution based on Vannevar Bush's description of an associative indexing approach for his memex machine. We further define what selection means in indexing terms with reference to Charles…

Hart, Jeni; Metcalfe, Amy Scott – Journal of Higher Education, 2010
We examined the post-publication period of six feminist articles (Hart, 2006) using citation indexing. From our findings, we argue that both indexes are embedded within an enduring system of academic patriarchy and neither index truly measures impact of scholarly work. Implications of current impact measures for promotion, tenure, and merit are…
