Abstract
Cultural heritage institutions, such as libraries, museums and archives, have a long tradition of creating and keeping metadata about their objects. This metadata must now conform to new services, such as innovative user applications that help users from different fields to discover and use available contents. For such services metadata must conform to a clear conceptual model that enables interpretation and reuse of this data in different environments.
The research will be based on the ontology called Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), which was developed by International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA).
In the next funding period, our research will be conducted in the following areas:
1. Methodological framework for measuring user experience in digital libraries
development of a comprehensive methodological framework for measuring user experience. The research of user experience in digital libraries and bibliographic information systems in general is still in its infancy (basic project proposal)
2. Publishing metadata
usability study of the FRBR model in the book market
the role of metadata in the development of electronic learning material
optimization of metadata as publishing marketing tools
3. Development and implementation of FRBR-LRM model
mapping between FRBR and RDA-LRM
further development of the prototype bibliographic information system (cooperation with NTNU in Trondheim)
development and testing of tools for cataloguers
4. User behavior
explore the impact and consequences of the use of information systems as tools for learning and learning technologies
information behavior of users selecting fiction (cooperation with the University of Tampere)
information behavior of users of archives
5. Eye-tracking in bibliographic information systems
general methodological aspects of the use of equipment in this context
Significance for science
Our research is on the cutting edge in the international environment in several topics:
elicitation and analysis of mental models as user verification of the conceptual model
analysis of concept schemes using graph theory
frbrisation of existing records with novel algorithms
visualisation of bibliographic data
modelling of aboutness
development of new formats for bibliographic data
Our results will bring a significant theoretical contribution to better understanding of users and use of bibliographic information systems, user information behaviour and integration of bibliographic data into the Semantic Web environment. The applied part brings concrete solutions, which are directly applicable in the development of bibliographic information systems.
Significance for the country
All our research topics are clearly integrated in the international environment, in some (such as user studies of bibliographic information systems, development of the FRBR model, visualization in bibliographic information systems) we are the leading research group. Therefore we contribute to international promotion of Slovenian science.
It is also very important that we have recently established a research collaboration with Institute of information science (IZUM) and thus enabled a direct implementation of our findings in the development of COBISS and SICRIS.
