“…With key requirements for ArchDL summarized in the previous section and formal definitions of archeological DLs described in Section 1.3 and [36], we can proceed to constructively define a minimal ArchDL metamodel.

“…It draws in large part on the dissertation work of Gonçalves [44]. The 2006 dissertation by Shen [84] builds on this, adding in key results related to quality, interoperability, and integrated support for various types of exploration (e.g., searching, browsing, and visualization). Future work on global ETD services, considering the increasingly sophisticated regional and national efforts in the Americas, Australasia, and Europe, could benefit from the advances in 5S made by Gonçalves and Shen.…”

Worldwide initiatives toward digital library (DL) support for electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs), facilitated by the work of the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD), are a key part of the move toward open access. When all graduate students learn to use openly available ETDs, and have experience with authoring and submission in connection with their own research results, it will be easy for them to continue these efforts through other contributions to open access. When all universities support ETD activities, they will be key participants in institutional repositories and open access, and will have engaged in discussion and infrastructure development supportive of further open access activities. Understanding of open access also can be facilitated through modeling of all of these efforts using the 5S framework, considering the key aspects of DL development: Societies, Scenarios, Spaces, Structures, and Streams. Keywords 5S (societies, scenarios, spaces, structures, streams). Curricula. DL (digital library). ETD (electronic thesis or dissertations). NDLTD (networked digital library of theses and dissertations). Open access. OAI (open archives initiative). Standards. ETDs, NDLTD e acesso aberto: uma perspectiva 5S Resumo Iniciativas internacionais para o suporte de teses e dissertações eletrônicas (ETDs) através de bibliotecas digitais (DL), facilitadas pelo trabalho da Biblioteca Digital em Rede de Teses e Dissertações (NDLTD), são um fato chave no caminho ao acesso aberto. Quando os alunos de pós-graduação aprenderem a usar as ETDs disponíveis e tiverem experimentado a criação e a submissão dos trabalhos resultantes de suas pesquisas, ele serão participantes ativos nos repositórios institucionais e no acesso aberto. Ao mesmo tempo, poderão se engajar nas discussões e na criação de infraestrutura que suporte o crescimento do acesso aberto. A compreensão do acesso aberto pode ser facilitada pela modelagem 5S aplicada aos aspectos fundamentais das biblitoecas digitais: Societies (Sociedades), Scenarios (Cenários), Spaces (Espaços), Structures (Estruturas) e Streams (Correntes). Palavras-chave 5S (societies = sociedades, scenarios = cenários, spaces = espaços, structures = structures, streams = correntes). Currículos. DL (digital library = bibliotecas digitais).

“…The different perspectives considered in the study (the archive, the user, the technology) provide a better understanding of the potentials and pitfalls and offer suggestions as to the steps a small digital library project should undertake before more formal planning takes place (Shen et al, 2005;Gonçalves et al, 2004).…”

Purpose -This paper aims to provide an initial understanding of the constraints that historical video collections pose to video retrieval technology and the potential that online access offers to both archive and users. Design/methodology/approach -A small and unique collection of videos on customs and folklore was used as a case study. Multiple methods were employed to investigate the effectiveness of technology and the modality of user access. Automatic keyframe extraction was tested on the visual content while the audio stream was used for automatic classification of speech and music clips. The user access (search vs browse) was assessed in a controlled user evaluation. A focus group and a survey provided insight on the actual use of the analogue archive. The results of these multiple studies were then compared and integrated (triangulation). Findings -The amateur material challenged automatic techniques for video and audio indexing, thus suggesting that the technology must be tested against the material before deciding on a digitisation strategy. Two user interaction modalities, browsing vs searching, were tested in a user evaluation. Results show users preferred searching, but browsing becomes essential when the search engine fails in matching query and indexed words. Browsing was also valued for serendipitous discovery; however the organisation of the archive was judged cryptic and therefore of limited use. This indicates that the categorisation of an online archive should be thought of in terms of users who might not understand the current classification. The focus group and the survey showed clearly the advantage of online access even when the quality of the video surrogate is poor. The evidence gathered suggests that the creation of a digital version of a video archive requires a rethinking of the collection in terms of the new medium: a new archive should be specially designed to exploit the potential that the digital medium offers. Similarly, users' needs have to be considered before designing the digital library interface, as needs are likely to be different from those imagined. Originality/value -This paper is the first attempt to understand the advantages offered and limitations held by video retrieval technology for small video archives like those often found in special collections.
