Abstract

This paper presents ARCA, a software system that enables semantic search and exploration over a book catalog. The main purpose of this work is twofold: to propose a general paradigm for a semantic enrichment workflow and to evaluate a visual approach to information retrieval based on extracted information and existing knowledge graphs. ARCA has been designed and implemented following a user-centered design approach. Two different releases of the system have incrementally and iteratively developed and evaluated. The first release has evaluated the quality and usefulness of the extracted data. The second release, whose design was a refinement based on the previous evaluation results, was assessed by several users. Moreover, a comparative test with other information retrieval systems was conducted in order to study the potential added-value of the system. ARCA is employed in a real editorial scenario to visually search and explore the books of a publishing house.

探索数字图书馆的ARCA系统的设计、实现和用户评价。

本文介绍了ARCA，一个能够对图书目录进行语义搜索和探索的软件系统。这项工作的主要目的有两个:为语义丰富工作流提出一个通用的范式，并评估基于提取的信息和现有知识图的信息检索的可视化方法。ARCA的设计和实现遵循以用户为中心的设计方法。系统的两个不同版本已经进行了增量式和迭代式的开发和评估。第一个版本评估了提取数据的质量和有用性。第二个版本的设计是基于前一个评估结果的改进，由几个用户进行了评估。并与其他信息检索系统进行了对比测试，以研究该系统的潜在附加值。ARCA在一个真实的编辑场景中被用来可视化地搜索和探索出版社的书籍。

期刊介绍： The International Journal on Digital Libraries (IJDL) examines the theory and practice of acquisition definition organization management preservation and dissemination of digital information via global networking. It covers all aspects of digital libraries (DLs) from large-scale heterogeneous data and information management & access to linking and connectivity to security privacy and policies to its application use and evaluation.The scope of IJDL includes but is not limited to: The FAIR principle and the digital libraries infrastructure Findable: Information access and retrieval; semantic search; data and information exploration; information navigation; smart indexing and searching; resource discovery Accessible: visualization and digital collections; user interfaces; interfaces for handicapped users; HCI and UX in DLs; Security and privacy in DLs; multimodal access Interoperable: metadata (definition management curation integration); syntactic and semantic interoperability; linked data Reusable: reproducibility; Open Science; sustainability profitability repeatability of research results; confidentiality and privacy issues in DLs Digital Library Architectures including heterogeneous and dynamic data management; data and repositories Acquisition of digital information: authoring environments for digital objects; digitization of traditional content Digital Archiving and Preservation Digital Preservation and curation Digital archiving Web Archiving Archiving and preservation Strategies AI for Digital Libraries Machine Learning for DLs Data Mining in DLs NLP for DLs Applications of Digital Libraries Digital Humanities Open Data and their reuse Scholarly DLs (incl. bibliometrics altmetrics) Epigraphy and Paleography Digital Museums Future trends in Digital Libraries Definition of DLs in a ubiquitous digital library world Datafication of digital collections Interaction and user experience (UX) in DLs Information visualization Collection understanding Privacy and security Multimodal user interfaces Accessibility (or "Access for users with disabilities") UX studies
