On June 18th, I am chairing the morning papers session at JCDL 2009. The session includes three full and to short papers covering a wide and interesting swath of research. The first two look at how content is tagged and created, the second two describe experiences around designing for mobile access to digital libraries, and the last paper presents empirical results of a study of a faceted search interface for exploratory search.
- How Do You Feel about “Dancing Queen”? Deriving Mood & Theme Annotations from User Tags by Kerstin Bischoff, Claudiu S. Firan, Wolfgang Nejdl and Raluca Paiu
- Automatic Quality Assessment of Content Created Collaboratively by Web Communities: A Case Study of Wikipedia
Daniel Hasan Dalip, Marcos André Gonçalves, Marco Cristo and Pável Calado - Designing the Reading Experience for Scanned Multi-lingual Picture Books on Mobile Phones
Benjamin B. Bederson, Alex Quinn and Allison Druin - Mobility, Digital Libraries and a Rural Indian Village
Matt Jones, Emma Thom, David Bainbridge and David Frohlich - What Do Exploratory Searchers Look at in a Faceted Search Interface?
Bill Kules, Robert Capra, Matt Banta and Tito Sierra
This promises to be an interesting session, and it’s not impossible that various facets of “Dancing Queen” are are reflected in picture books that are used in certain villages in India. If this turns out to be the case, we’ll definitely reserve some of the session to write up a Wikipedia entry to that effect.
