YAPI: Yet Another Path Index for XML searching
Amato G, Debole F, Zezula P, Rabitti F
As many metadata are encoded in XML, and many digital libraries need to manage XML documents, efficient techniques for searching in such formatted data are required. In order to efficiently process path expressions with wildcards on XML data, a new path index is proposed. Extensive evaluation confirms better performance with respect to other techniques proposed in the literature. An extension of the proposed technique to deal with the content of XML documents in addition to their structure is also discussed.

Searching and browsing film archives. The European Film Gateway Approach
Debole F, Savino P, Eckes G
Metadata describing items in European film archives are very different so that it is difficult to have a uniform access to videos coming from many different archives. These and other relevant issues regarding interoperability among different archives are addressed within the EFG (European Film Gateway) Best Practices Network funded by the European Commission, which aims at enabling Europe's Film Archives and cinématèques to contribute their rich and valuable collections to the EUROPEANA digital library.Project(s): EFG1914

This paper discusses the registry developed by the ARIADNE project for describing the archaeological resources that are made available by the partners of the project for the purposes of discovery, access and integration on a research infrastructure. These resources include: data, services and language resources, such as metadata formats, vocabularies and mappings. The registry is addressed to cultural institutions, private or public, which wish to describe their assets in order to make them known to e-infrastructures.Source: CEUR WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS, pp. 26-35.

Tree Signatures for XML Querying and Navigation
Zezula P, Amato G, Debole F, Rabitti F
In order to accelerate execution of various matching and navigation operations on collections of XML documents, new indexing structure, based on tree signatures, is proposed. We show that XML tree structures can be efficiently represented as ordered sequences of preorder and postorder ranks, on which extended string matching techniques can easily solve the tree matching problem. We also show how to apply tree signatures in query processing and demonstrate that a speedup of up to one order of magnitude can be achieved over the containment join strategy. Other alternatives of using the tree signatures in intelligent XML searching are outlined in the conclusions

A path index for efficient XML path expression processing
Amato G, Debole F, Zezula P, Rabitti F
XML is a de fact standard for data representation and exchange on the Internet, therefore storing and querying XML repositories has become an important issue. Several XML query languages are based on the use path expressions containing optional wildcards. This poses a new problem, given that traditional query processing approaches have been proven not to be efficient in this case. We proposed a new path index to efficiently process path expressionswith wildcards on XML data. Extensive evaluation confirms better performance with respect to other techniques proposed in the literature. An extension of the proposed technique to deal with the content of XML documents in addition to their structure is also discussed.

Using MILOS to build an on-line photo album: the PhotoBook
Amato G, Bolettieri P, Debole F, Falchi F, Rabitti F, Savino P
Building new digital library applications requires a developement platform that offers standard and powerful building blocks to support application developers. In this paper we discuss our experience of using MILOS, a multimedia content management system oriented to the construction of digital libraries, to build a demanding application dedicated to non-professional users. Specifically, we discuss the design and implementation of an on-line photo album (PhotoBook), which is a digital library application that allows people to manage their own photos, to share them with friends, and to make them publicly available and searchable.

Multilingual search for cultural heritage archives via combining multiple translation resource
Jones G, Zhang Y, Newman E, Fantino F, Debole F
The linguistic features of material in Cultural Heritage (CH) archives may be in various languages requiring a facility for effective multilingual search. The specialised language often associated with CH content introduces problems for automatic translation to support search applications. The MultiMatch project is focused on enabling users to interact with CH content across different media types and languages. We present results from a MultiMatch study exploring various translation techniques for the CH domain. Our experiments examine translation techniques for the English language CLEF 2006 Cross-Language Speech Retrieval (CL-SR) task using Spanish, French and German queries. Results compare effectiveness of our query translation against a monolingual baseline and show improvement when combining a domain-speci c translation lexicon with a standard machine translation system.

Metadata Editor
Debole F, Savino P, Caruso E M
The Metadata Editor (ME) is a tool providing an easy way to create XML metadata by using a simple web interface. The ME is fully customizable both in terms of the metadata schema used, of the DBMS adopted to store metadata instances and to executed content-based searches, and of the end user interface since the forms used for the creation of new metadata are configurable just editing an XML configuration file. The ME allows users to create, search and edit metadata records. It also supports the use of controlled vocabularies for the different metadata elements. Currently, the ME has been used in EU funded project and in a Italian Regional Project.
