| Research Abstract |
Recording evidence for data element values, in addition to the values themselves, in bibliographic records and descriptive metadata is likely to be useful for improving the expressivity and reliability-and finally longevity and interoperability-of such records. Recorded evidence indicates why and how data values are recorded for elements. This project has studied several possible ways of the efficient recording and effective utilization of such evidence.
1. Supporting catalogers for recording evidence: A scenario has been designed (1) for utilizing recorded evidence to which a cataloger refers for information and understanding of the ways that had been adopted to record data value (s) in a given element and (2) in which a cataloger and a system interact with each other in recording such evidence in records for books. In line with such a scenario, the proper content of evidence to be recorded has been determined and a prototype system has been developed. The system's performance has been experimentally examined, the results of which show its usefulness.
2. Utilizing recorded evidence for catalogers: A system has been developed for catalogers to retrieve and display recorded evidence together with bibliographic records in a flexible way.
3. Utilizing recorded evidence for automatic duplicate records identification: A scenario for using recorded evidence for duplicate records identification has been adopted, while in this case the recorded evidence is the copy of the source of information of an item to be described. A prototype system has been developed to judge whether bibliographic records are duplicate with the results of the matching between bibliographic records and also between recorded copies of the sources and target bibliographic records.
