“…In this work, we have changed the scope to the collection level and made a hypothesis of collection homogeneity, or isogeny in Xiu's terminology. Under this hypothesis, we have proposed to bring some automated QA capability leveraging the general functional-formal method [7] [6].…”

We consider here the general problem of converting documents available in print-ready or image format into a structured format that reflects the logical structure of the document. One aspect of the problem involves reconstructing conventional constructs such as titles, headings, captions, footnotes, etc. In practice, another important aspect involves putting in place some automated Quality Assessment (QA) method.We propose here a method to automate the QA in the case of a homogeneous collection by considering multiple documents at once instead of focusing only on the document being processed.

“…Taking the example of the Table of Contents (TOC), the literature includes several methods, which leveraged either the TOC surface form like in [1][3] [4] or its form and structure like in [5] or its function like in [6]. This latter approach exploits the functional characteristics of some logical elements in order to identify them.…”

“…For example, Lin et al(2006) and Herve Dejean et al(2009) independently used text matching between TOC candidate pages and body pages for detecting TOC pages in a document. Dresevic et al(2009)defined a TOC entry to be a single smallest group of words with the same title target somewhere in the book.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel method to analyze Table of Contents (TOC) in Chinese books automatically based on the hierarchy organization rules which gained by investigation. Design/methodology/approach – This paper analyzed the main literature in this field first, then hierarchy organization rules of Chinese book TOC were generated and the method parsing TOC automatically based on these rules was proposed. A prototype system implementing the method was also developed. The method was evaluated through processing a corpus on the prototype system, and the results were checked with calculation of precision and recall. Findings – The experiment result illustrated the superiority (extensive application, recall is 95.34 percent and precision is 94.44 percent) of the method. Practical implications – The result can help Chinese libraries deal with electronic texts from four aspects. First, it can be used to complement or enhance current digitization and optical character recognition methods and cut the financial and labor cost of Chinese libraries. Second, it can help libraries to keep information on indexing words as well as chapters, sections and subsections in Chinese book databases, which ensures easy retrieval and extract any intended portion as demanded by user. Third, it helps to enrich the services and then enhances the user experiences in Chinese libraries. Fourth, it improves the specification and policy of digitalizing Chinese books. Originality/value – The paper provided insight into the hierarchy organization of TOCs in Chinese books, the method based on the rules has extensive application than other methods. This method for Chinese book TOC automatic analysis is also as reference for English book TOC automatic analysis.

Digital preservation is the persistent archiving of digital assets for future access and reuse, irrespective of the underlying platform and software solutions. Existing preservation systems have a strong focus on grids, but the advent of cloud technologies offers an attractive option. We describe a middleware system that enables a flexible choice between a grid and a cloud for ad-hoc computations that arise during the execution of a preservation workflow and also for archiving digital objects. The choice between different infrastructures remains open during the lifecycle of the archive, ensuring a smooth switch between different solutions to accommodate the changing requirements of the organization that needs its digital assets preserved. We also offer insights on the costs, running times, and organizational issues of cloud computing, proving that the cloud alternative is particularly attractive for smaller organizations without access to a grid or with limited IT infrastructure.
