5 October 2004 Delos WP 7 workshop 3
Overall goal:• To elaborate a common understanding of the role and
scope of UI research in the DL area and start the development of a theoretical framework
Objectives and tasks:1. Identify empirical basis (Risø)2. Characterize all life cycle phases (Forth-ICS)3. Characterize the users (FhG-IPSI)4. Characterize contexts/environments (Roma1)5. Characterize visualisations (Roma1)6. Develop theoretical framework (Roma1)

5 October 2004 Delos WP 7 workshop 4
Problems:
Valuable digital libraries exist+Access for users to digitized repositories
Valuable tools for knowledge integration exist+ Content management through metadata- Lack of technology support for collaborative content provision and collaborative research
Valuable knowledge about user interface design exists- But user interfaces to DLs are often designed in an ad hoc manner.- Empirical evaluation of DL user interfaces is rarely an integrated activity in DL design

5 October 2004 Delos WP 7 workshop 5
Research strategies for 2004:
•To integrate knowledge about state-of-the art through empirical analysis of digital libraries and users’experience
•To reach a first foundation for a common understanding to build a theoretical framework for visualization in user interfaces to digital libraries
•Collaboration ’outside’ the consortium and dissemination of preliminary results

Case studies of advanced digital librariesCases: four European digital library projects, funded by
the European Commission’s IST programme
Laurin – libraries and archives collecting newspaper clippings
Collate – collaboratory for film archive researchScholnet – testbed for searching and annotation of
software concepts for DL developmentI-Dove – Interactive support tool for development of virtual environments

Case studies of advanced digital librariesInput: in-depth descriptions of the digital libraries,
prepared by the partners, according to guidelines developed to address:
a. What are the domains covered by the DLb. Who are their usersc. What are their servicesd. How have the DLs been developede. What kinds of visual design have been createdf. What are the future visions

5 October 2004 Delos WP 7 workshop 14
Case studies of advanced digital librariesFirst results:Development of a preliminary taxonomy of domain, user, task,
services in advanced digital libraries
First suggestions for integration of taxonomy with taxonomy for interface design:
1. Domains, tasks, users2. Abstraction levels (means and ends for each level of analysis)3. Action scenarios (task situations)4. Skill-rule-knowledge behavior (users’ cognitive behavior)

Questionnaire surveys, Preliminary results
Functional requirements:Communication, collaboration important to stakeholders,
less important to end-usersPreeminence of the ’document metaphor’
Non-functional requirements:Conceptual rift between end-users and stakeholders re.
usability and accessibility

Future work, 1:
• Evaluation of DLs througout their entire life cycleAnalytical – empirical, when and how, and who to involve (stakeholders, end-users)
2. Visualization based on empirical analysis of’domains, tasks, users’Stable features: models for characterizationDynamic features: action scenarios, design collaboratories, evaluation collaboratories
