The Internet has greatly changed how library users search and use library resources. Many of them prefer resources available in electronic format over traditional print materials. While many documents are now born digital, many more are only accessible in print and need to be digitized. This paper focuses on how the Colorado State University Libraries creates and optimizes text-based and digitized PDF documents for easy access, downloading, and printing.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we treated the problem of automatic skew angle estimation of scanned documents. The skew of document occurs very often, due to incorrect positioning of the documents or a manipulation error during scanning. This has negative consequences on the steps of automatic analysis and recognition of text. It is therefore essential to verify, before proceeding to these steps, the presence of skew on the document to be processed and to correct it. The difficulty of this verification is associated to the presence of graphic zones, sometimes dominant, that have a considerable impact on the accuracy of the text skew angle estimation. We also noted the importance of preprocessing to improve the accuracy and the calculation cost of skew estimation approaches. These two elements have been taken into consideration in our design and development of a new approach of skew angle estimation and correction. Our approach is based on local binarization followed by horizontal smoothing by the Run Length Smoothing Algorithm (RLSA) method, detection of horizontal contours and the Hierarchical Hough Transform (HHT). The algorithms involved in our approach have been chosen to guarantee a skew estimation: accurate, fast and robust, especially to graphic dominance and real time application. The experimental tests show the effectiveness of our approach on a representative database of the Document Image Skew Estimation Contest (DISEC) contest International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR)

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper presents a system for automatically extracting linguistic data from digitized linguistic documents using a combination of existing software packages and custom scripts. The system is designed to leverage existing resources in online digital libraries in order to bootstrap the creation of large, multi-lingual linguistic corpora, which can then be used to conduct data-driven experimental research into cross-linguistic or universal linguistic phenomena. The system identifies instances of foreign-language text accompanied by reference-language translations within the text of printed books that have been scanned into digital format, and extracts these to produce a parallel corpus of example sentences. While the system achieves a high precision on predicting foreign text, its accuracy overall is low, and directions for improvement and future work are identified.

<p>The optical character recognition has been used in many applications such as dictionary generation, customer billing system, banking and postal automation, and library automation etc. The bilingual OCR system to make uni-lingual script helps us to reduce the requirement of two different OCR systems into a single OCR system for recognition of two different languages. This type of globalization helps the universal users of any language can read the text documents in their self-language if the bilingual documents are converted into uni-lingual document. In this paper, the image which contains printed Tamil and European numerals has been recognized using common OCR System and the Tamil numerals are converted into European numerals to globalize the document from a bilingual script into a uni-lingual document. The main objective of the work is to bring out the single numeral (European numerals) text document from the input image with two different numerals (Tamil and European Numerals). The Kohonen’s self-organizing map (SOM) based recognition system has been used for recognizing the numerals and recognized characters in bilingual numerals (Tamil and European Numerals) form are converted into Uni-lingual form (European numerals). This paper also discusses the various approaches used for OCR.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Most of the documents use fingerprint impression for authentication. Property related documents, bank checks, application forms, etc., are the examples of such documents. Fingerprint-based document image retrieval system aims to provide a solution for searching and browsing of such digitized documents. The major challenges in implementing fingerprint-based document image retrieval are an efficient method for fingerprint detection and an effective feature extraction method. In this work, we propose a method for automatic detection of a fingerprint from given query document image employing Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)-based features and SVM classifier. In this paper, we also propose and investigate two feature extraction schemes, DWT and Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT)-based Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features for fingerprint-based document image retrieval. The standardized Euclidean distance is employed for matching and ranking of the documents. Proposed method is tested on a database of 1200 document images and is also compared with current state-of-art. The proposed scheme provided 98.87% of detection accuracy and 73.08% of Mean Average Precision (MAP) for document image retrieval.

The history of RNPLS&T E-library and Electronic Archive of heterogeneous information resource since 2006 is discussed. Development of RNPLS&T’s in-house digital resources is also examined. Special attention is given to the E-library development dynamics in 2011–2018. The most popular thematic collections for 2017 are analyzed. The Electronic Archive technological platform for digitized documents processing, hosting, storing and presenting is discussed in detail. The authors argue that with implementing the Electronic Archive the efficiency of digital books generation increased due to universal operator interface, which enables to prepare and host digital documents on several workstations. The technology of incoming documents processing for RNPLS&T’s E-library is based on the IRBIS64 LAS technologies and RNPLS&T’s E-catalog and enables to extract entries generated within a given time period. The technology specific feature is that in every extracted bibliographic record, digitized resource URL is changed to PURL (Persistent URL), which enables to relocate, if necessary, the digitized documents to another depository without changing its bibliographic description.The relevance of user demanded documents from the RNPLS&T’s E-library is analyzed.The authors acknowledge that RNPLS&T’s E-library resources in engineering make a significant part of the digital resources of the National Electronic Library.

The article analyses publication of a large set of historical and archival documents on the history of the Second World War and the Great Patriotic War on the website of the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library. Since 2009 it functions as the national electronic repository of digital copies of the most important documents on the history of Russian statehood and Russian language, as well as multimedia, multifunctional, cultural, scientific, educational and information-analytical centre with the status of the national library of Russia. In the “Collections” section, the libraryʼs website places online publications of various forms and subjects. The author considers the methods of publishing digitized copies of archival documents. Within the frames of the first part of the Internet project “The Second World War in archival documents (set of digitized archival documents, footage and photo materials)” there are published 1767 electronic copies of documents, then promised to continue. There is placed the full list of published documents, it provides the ability to sort them, search by date and place of storage. Virtual multimedia exhibition “The Great Patriotic War, which determined the outcome of the Second World War. For the 75th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941—1945” presents more than 500 official documents, documentary photographs, periodical materials and leaflets. The authors of the exhibition apparently consider the online publication “Combat actions of the air defence forces of the navy in the Great Patriotic War of 1941—1945” as a kind of rare publication, therefore they decided to publish the facsimile reproduction of it. The article concludes on the great significance of the project “The Second World War in archival documents (set of digitized archival documents, footage and photo materials)” that placed a large set of documents from Federal and departmental archives, many of which were first declassified. The author reveals shortcomings of Internet publications of archival documents in the field of placement methods related to inaccurate determination of their readership.

Full textAbstract:
Archaeological departments throughout the world have undertaken massive digitization projects to digitize their historical document corpus. In order to provide worldwide visibility to these historical documents residing in the digital libraries, a character recognition system is an inevitable tool. Automatic character recognition is a challenging problem as it needs a cautious blend of enhancement, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification techniques. This work presents a novel holistic character recognition system for the digitized Estampages of Historical Handwritten Kannada Stone Inscriptions (EHHKSI) belonging to 11th century. First, the EHHKSI images are enhanced using Retinex and Morphological operations to remove the degradations. Second, the images are segmented into characters by connected component labeling. Third, LBP features are extracted from these characters. Finally, decision tree is used to learn these features and classify the characters into appropriate classes. The LBP features improved the performance of the system significantly.

Full textAbstract:
Virtual historical reconstructions being an actively developing branch of historical information science are characterized by a peculiar approach to source base formation and study. New complexes of sources used pose several methodological problems of source studies. The first one is the place of scientific and technical documents in classical classifications of source studies. The second one is the place of documents which were created electronically or digitized in source studies classifications. The third problem is the consideration of complex source studies methods (analysis and synthesis) in relation to specific features of different source types and their informational capabilities used to solve virtual historical reconstruction problems. The author proposes original solutions to the indicated problems based on the analysis of classification schemes of source studies existing in Russian historiography as well as the basic principles of identifying the types of historical sources proposed by L.N. Pushkareva, I.D. Kovalchenko, S.O. Sсhmidt, O.M. Medushevskaya, etc. She also specifies electronic documents (both digitized and initially electronic ones) within the framework of studying the possibilities to "embed" electronic documents into existing classifications of source studies as well as formulates new approaches to the methodology of source analysis highlighting a new stage in the development of source criticism: multidisciplinary source studies.

Design/methodology/approach The authors developed the concept for the to preserve and store all types of document in one data base with the help of open source software (OSS). The authors used Java Script programing to integrated and developed the system. Findings The major finding of our work is that large document file can be accommodated in DSpace without modifying the originality of the documents and viewing the document in a different dimension as a specialist needs. The combination of current technologies such as Google Doc Viewer and the Internet Archive Book Reader, as well as the growing number of digital repositories hosting digitized content, suggests that the DSpace community will probably benefit with an “out-of-the-box.” Originality/value In addition, to exploring the opportunities of OSS implementation in different research institutes, the study includes issues related to the implementation of the open source repository. This is the first time in India, as well as DSpace history to created and developed Document Viewer with the help of DSpace OSS. The study would have value for library professionals and the developer to understand the market in the context of OSS.

Full textAbstract:
The realization of the paper-free office seems to be difficult that expected. Therefore, good paper-computer interfaces are necessary to transform paper documents into an electronic form, which allows the use of a filing and retrieval system. An electronic document page is an optically scanned and digitized representation of a printed page. Document analysis is the problem of interpreting and labeling the constitutents of the document. Although there are very reliable optical character recognition (OCR) methods, the process could be very inefficient. To prune the search space and to become more efficient, some search supporting methods have to be developed. This article proposes an approach to identify the layout of a document page by dividing it recursively into nested rectangular areas. The procedure is used as a basis for a document layout model, which is able to control an automatic interpretation mechanism for deriving a high level representation of the contents of a document. We have implemented our method in Common Lisp on a Symbolies 3640 Workstation and have run it for a large population of office documents. The results obtained have been very encouraging and have convincingly confirmed the soundness of our approach.

Despite ever-increasing electronic access to a wide variety of information resources, academic librarians need to remember that a significant number of historical documents are not available in digital form; nor have the catalogs or bibliographies containing these documents been digitized. While it is true that many libraries in Europe, as well as the United States, now make their general library catalogs available on the Internet, frequently there existed manuscripts and documents that never were included in the original card catalog that served as the basis for the online catalog. Thus, the historical scholar must depend on reference sources, such as . . .

Full textAbstract:
Modern libraries have considerable information resources. Digital copies of publications, including bibliographic ones, are an integral part of information resources. The author studies the activity of the Russian libraries of Federal level on creation of digital copies of bibliographic editions, basing on the own library holdings. There are three national libraries — the Russian State Library, the National Library of Russia and the Presidential Library named after B. Yeltsin. The purpose of the study is to analyse the array of digitized bibliographic publications and to identify the place of digital copies of bibliographic publications in the information resources of the national libraries. The author considers the content of the electronic catalogues of these libraries by entering the same type of request. The article presents the results of study of the volume and content of electronic catalogues, obtained by the method of bibliographic keyword search. The author analysed the array of digital copies of bibliographic publications on various parameters — chronological coverage of digitized documents; language features; terms of access to electronic documents. The author notes that the priority is now given to the digitization of publications in the national language. The article presents the types of access to digital copies of bibliographic publications from the user’s point of view. The author considers the statistical data on the availability of digital copies of bibliographic publications in the collections of electronic documents and the presence of special electronic collections. The emphasis is made on the study of open access to digitized documents. The study revealed that the volume of digital copies of bibliographic publications in the national libraries is very small for the implementation of their inherent scientific and educational function; the access to bibliographic information resources is mostly limited. The author concludes that the level of availability does not meet expectations of the user; and Russian libraries should develop their activities to expand open access to bibliographic information resources.

The purpose of the article is to study the prospects of using digital technologies in labor relations and personnel document management. In the course of the research, the method of legal analysis and the formal legal method were used. The main results allow drawing conclusions and making suggestions for improving the legal regulation of the use of digital technology in labor relations and the personnel document flow that forms these labor relations. As a result, the authors make the following conclusions and suggestions. On the Unified Digital Platform in the field of employment and labor relations "Trudvsem.ru", the employer should be given the right to form an electronic HR workflow as a whole, placing mandatory HR documents there, while other HR documents can be digitized at the discretion of the employer. This will reduce the established period of duplication by the employer of the electronic and paper form of the employment record. The conclusion about the possibility of concluding employment contracts on remote work with citizens living outside the Russian Federation has been also justified.

Archival records in the digital format (also called electronic archival records) are formed on the basis of data messages or documents digitized in information carriers during the operation of individuals, organizations and state offices. The Socialist Republic of Vietnam has issued some documents which act as legal base for the management of digital archival records. However, this insufficient system of legal documents along with weak material and technical/ technological basis has difficulties in confronting the handling process of electronic archival records in Vietnam nowadays. In the current situation, Vietnam needs to have timely and synchronous measures so as to well process its electronic archival records.

Full textAbstract:
Multimedia archives face the problem of obsolescing and degrading analogue media (e.g., speech and music recordings and video art). In response, researchers in the field have recently begun studying ad hoc tools for the preservation and access of historical analogue documents. This paper investigates the active preservation process of audio tape recordings, specifically focusing on possible means for compensating equalization errors introduced in the digitization process. If the accuracy of corrective equalization filters is validated, an archivist or musicologist would be able to experience the audio as a historically authentic document such that their listening experience would not require the recovery of the original analogue audio document or the redigitization of the audio. Thus, we conducted a MUSHRA-inspired perception test (n = 14) containing 6 excerpts of electronic music (3 stimuli recorded NAB and 3 recorded CCIR). Participants listened to 6 different equalization filters for each stimulus and rated them in terms of similarity. Filters included a correctly digitized “Reference,” an intentionally incorrect “Foil” filter, and a subsequent digital correction of the Foil filter that was produced with a MATLAB script. When stimuli were collapsed according to their filter type (NAB or CCIR), no significant differences were observed between the Reference and MATLAB correction filters. As such, the digital correction appears to be a promising method for compensation of equalization errors although future study is recommended, specifically containing an increased sample size and additional correction filters for comparison.

Abstract The Beckett Digital Manuscript Project (BDMP) brings together digital facsimiles of the manuscripts of Samuel Beckett’s works – documents currently held in over thirteen libraries and archives in Europe and North America – with the aim of furthering genetic criticism. Incorporating three of the eight modules available for researchers engaging with the BDMP website as of August 2020, together with one forthcoming monograph study whose corresponding digital module has yet to be made live on the site, this article will, in effect, make use of three novels and one novella, all in both their French and English iterations, in order to present concrete examples of the ways in which the exposition of idiosyncratic features of Beckett’s œuvre is being facilitated by this nascent digital archive.

AbstractThis report examines the recordkeeping issues facing refugees, displaced persons, and asylum seekers who have either applied for asylum while residing in Turkey or transiting through. There is a high degree of interdependency between types of documents, particularly birth certificates, marriage certificates, and identity documents. The challenges faced by Syrian and non-Syrian refugees can be distinctive, suggesting a need for more targeted interventions. The report’s recommendations confirm Sakena Alalawi and Anne Gilliland’s findings and point to a pressing need for archive-to-archive collaboration to increase accessibility of records; to lobby those who make policy, adjudicate asylum cases and vet refugees for resettlement to consider alternate forms of documentation that might be presented by a records advocate working on a case; and to develop new forms of certification for relevant digitized documents.

Full textAbstract:
Sex & Sexuality, Module I: Research Collections from the Kinsey Institute Library & Special Collections published by Adam Matthew Digital is a collection of digitized primary sources obtained exclusively from the Kinsey Institute Library & Special Collections dedicated to the study of human sexuality throughout the twentieth century. The collection makes use of the artificial intelligence capabilities of Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) to enable keyword searching of handwritten documents. The documents and images in the collection have been meticulously digitized by Adam Matthew Digital making them discoverable, visually appealing, and adjustable. The proprietary interface is intuitive to navigate with the product being compatible with a range of browsers and electronic devices. Contract provisions are standard to the product and permit for use across locations and interlibrary loan sharing. As pricing is primarily determined by size and enrollment, the collection may be affordable for libraries of varying sizes. Users seeking more current research on gender and women’s studies may find ProQuest’s GenderWatch a more suitable choice, while those seeking information on sexuality from the sixteenth to mid-twentieth centuries may prefer Part III of Gale’s Archives of Sexuality & Gender with both resources providing access to a range of sources beyond that of the Kinsey Institute.

Generalized analysis of 427 Russian dissertation researches in the specialty 14.03.10 (14.00.46) «Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics» over the period of 2000-2013 is presented. Currently complete author’s abstracts can be remotely accessed at official sites of institutions with Thesis Boards (since 2007) and at the site of State Commission for Academic Degrees and Titles, Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (for Doctoral theses – since 2007, for Candidate’s theses – since April 2012). Thesis materials for the year 2013 don’t full in libraries, so the collection of 407 theses for the period of 2000–2012 was used for comparison. In thesis e-library of the Russian State Library 238 theses are digitized, or 55.2% of works total collection in the field of clinical laboratory diagnostics, in e-library of the Russian National Library – 331 author’s abstracts or 81.5 %. The digitized theses materials can be accessed free of charge in libraries reading halls, remote access can be provided for a fee. To optimize information support to scientific research there is a necessity to create in Russia a common theses database at Research Electronic Library, to organize a national subscription to digitized theses materials, and to coordinate the fields of documents scanning. Digitized theses database allows remote access, as well for foreign users. For integration into the world research community one should provide English abstract of the thesis (max. 250–300 characters) on the last page of the author’s abstract.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of e-government reforms on street-level bureaucrats’ professionalism and relation to citizens, thus demonstrating how the bureaucratic encounter unfolds in the digital era. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on an ethnographic study of frontline work at a citizen service centre in a Danish municipality, and draws on empirical material generated through observations, field notes, interviews and policy documents. Findings – The paper shows that e-government changes the mode of professionalism in citizen service from service to support. An ethnographic account of how digital reforms are implemented in practice shows how street-level bureaucrat’s classic tasks such as specialized casework are being reconfigured into educational tasks that promote the idea of “becoming digital”. In the paper, the author argues that the work of “becoming digital” in client processing entails two interconnected changes in frontline agents’ practice: de-specialization of the task and intensified informality in relation to citizens. As a result, the frontline agent works as an explorative generalist whose professional skills and personal competencies are blurred. Originality/value – The study contributes to ethnographic research in public administration by combining two separate subfields, e-government and street-level bureaucracy, to discern recent transformations in public service delivery. In the digital era, tasks, control and equality are distributed in ways that call for symmetrical and relational approaches to studying street-level bureaucracy. The argument goes beyond technological or social determinism to find a fruitful intermediary position pointing at technological change as having both constraining and enabling effects.

“Impressos pedagógicos, jornais e documentos escolares como fontes para a história da educação de Bananeiras durante as décadas de 1920-1950” é o título de um projeto PIBIC, desenvolvido entre os anos 2015 e 2016. Ele tinha como proposta coletar e digitalizar fontes documentais (jornais, revistas, documentos e demais impressos pedagógicos) que circularam na cidade de Bananeiras no período estudado. Este acervo digital foi colocado em um repositório digital – “História da Educação do município de Bananeiras / HEB” e está sob a guarda da Universidade Federal da Paraíba – Campus III. Foi para relatar o percurso de criação deste repositório e o processo de coleta das fontes que elaboramos este artigo. Acreditamos que a disponibilização destas fontes digitalizadas à comunidade acadêmica, como também aos demais sujeitos habitantes da cidade de Bananeiras, gere um estímulo ao conhecimento e a valorização da história do município. Aliar a História da Educação às novas tecnologias nos permite lançar mão de estratégias que possibilitem estabelecer um elo entre estas áreas do conhecimento, que aparentemente díspares, podem se comunicar na arte e na tarefa de fazer pesquisa.The experience of creation of a digital repository as a source of research for history of education of Bananeiras. "Pedagogical forms, newspapers and school documents as sources for the history of Bananeiras education during the decades of 1920-1950" is the title of a PIBIC project, developed between the years 2015 and 2016. It was proposed to collect and digitize Documentary sources (newspapers, magazines, documents and other pedagogical forms) that circulated in the city of Bananeiras during the studied period. This digital collection was placed in a digital repository - "History of Education of the municipality of Bananeiras / HEB" and is under the custody of the Federal University of Paraíba - Campus III. It was to report the course of creation of this repository and the process of collecting the sources that elaborated this article. We believe that the availability of these digitized sources to the academic community, as well as to the other subjects living in the city of Bananeiras, generate a stimulus to the knowledge and value of the history of the municipality. Allying the History of Education with new technologies allows us to use strategies that make it possible to establish a link between these seemingly disparate areas of knowledge that can communicate in the art and in the task of doing research. Keywords: Digital repository; Sources; History of Education.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the problems of uploading archival materials on the Yalta conference to open-source websites. The author focuses on the UK experience. The significance of studying open-source archival documents as historical sources is not of purely archival or, rather, source-studies nature, but has a serious political background. The author demonstrates the potential of publication of the ‘Yalta-1945’ archival documents for solving important issues connected to geopolitical interests of various states. The textual analysis of documents and detailed analysis of their structure allow to conclude that national scholars can now access foreign documents on the ‘Yalta-1945,’ and yet they should beware of the ‘communication power’ technologies used by the United States and Great Britain. The author analyzes key series of English-language documents available on The National Archives official website. There are available on-line various catalogues, files descriptions, etc. Great Britain has uploaded a great number of digitized documents and microfilms on Yalta-1945. Most of these are open-sourced. Studying these documents adds to our knowledge of the Yalta Conference and allows to conduct a cross-sectional analysis of documents on the ‘Yalta-1945’ in the United States, Great Britain, and the USSR. However, the way documents are placed and presented and the nature of tools created for primary generalization of the documentation allow to assert that the authorities attempt to manipulate the public conscience.

Full textAbstract:
The author begins with discussing the key provisions of document digitization. He characterizes the unified requirements of the National Electronic Library. Further, he analyzes the graphic formats for digitized copies (TIFF, JPEG, PNG). The advantages and drawbacks of each of the formats are discussed. Due to the rapid technologies advance and emergence of reader devices, the libraries that purchase now affordable HD-scanners can increase digitization efficiency with heavy graphic formats and to increase the rate of filling the servers’ storage. The modern text recognition technologies and programs enable to initiate collections digitization. Having analyzed the formats, the author expectedly asks the following question: how to use less resources for digitization and further storage without losing the documents cultural and historical value? To solve this problem, the author suggests to modify document classification and use text recognition technologies with further storing in files which would enable to use the text directly (TXT, DOC, PDF). The author concludes that there is the need for a new consistent technology deprived of the existing drawbacks.

Full textAbstract:
A systematic approach to the establishment of the Franciscan Cadastre, which has been performed in most Central European countries, has resulted in the following documents: cadastral maps, cadastral municipality boundary demarcation records, lists of land parcels, lists of building parcels and lists of possessors. The documentation, which is stored in various archives, is digitized and made available to users through catalogs. The availability of documentation was examined in this study using three services in the catalogs—discovery, view and download—of which the largest percentage of documents is available through the discovery service. Documents that are available through the discovery service are described by the metadata standards. In this study, we examined the applicability of geographic information metadata standards and metadata standards to archival documentation in catalogs in which cadastral documentation was found. We determined a lack of application of geoinformation metadata standards, as it was a cadastral dataset, which represented one of the fundamental spatial datasets. The semantic mapping of elements between the applied standards in the catalogs and the geoinformation metadata standard (ISO 19115) showed that it was possible to apply the ISO 19115 standard to documents resulting from the establishment of the cadastre.

The management of electronic records and documents seems to be very developed in Romania. Mostly under UE financing, a lot of institutions implemented modern systems and digitized legacy paper records. Pertinent pieces of legislation were adopted (time-stamp, electronic signature and even an electronic archiving act) and this might create an image of proper regulated environment. But a closer look to the facts shows that proper electronic records management lacks almost completely. The paper will look into details about the way modern archives are prepared for the future.

An algorithm (divided into multiple modules) for generating images of full-text documents is presented. These images can be used to train, test, and evaluate models for Optical Character Recognition (OCR).
The algorithm is modular, individual parts can be changed and tweaked to generate desired images. A method for obtaining background images of paper from already digitized documents is described. For this, a novel approach based on Variational AutoEncoder (VAE) to train a generative model was used.
These backgrounds enable the generation of similar background images as the training ones on the fly.The module for printing the text uses large text corpora, a font, and suitable positional and brightness character noise to obtain believable results (for natural-looking aged documents).
A few types of layouts of the page are supported. The system generates a detailed, structured annotation of the synthesized image. Tesseract OCR to compare the real-world images to generated images is used. The recognition rate is very similar, indicating the proper appearance of the synthetic images. Moreover, the errors which were made by the OCR system in both cases are very similar. From the generated images, fully-convolutional encoder-decoder neural network architecture for semantic segmentation of individual characters was trained. With this architecture, the recognition accuracy of 99.28% on a test set of synthetic documents is reached.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, the authors proposed a Scale Space Co-occurrence Histograms of Oriented Gradients method (SS Co-HOG) for retrieving words from digitized handwritten documents. The poor performance of HOG based word spotting in handwritten documents is due to that HOG ignores spatial information of neighboring pixels whereas Co-HOG captures the spatial information of neighboring pixels through counting the occurrence of the gradient orientations of two or more neighboring pixels. The authors employed three scale parameter representation of an image and at each scale, they divide the word image into blocks and Co-HOG features are extracted from each block and finally concatenate them into form a feature descriptor. The proposed method is evaluated using precision and recall metrics through experimentation conducted on popular datasets such as IAM and GW and confirmed that their method outperforms for both the datasets.

Herbarium specimens hold a wealth of data about plants; where they come from, where they were collected and by whom. Once digitized, these data can be searched, mapped and compared. However, the information on specimens is often handwritten and even the best software systems cannot read it. This is where we get real value from citizen involvement. Digitizing these data is only possible with the aid of human intelligence. DoeDat is a multilingual open-source platform for transcription, based upon the DigiVol program of the Australian Museum and Atlas of Living Australia. DoeDat is a product of our digitization project Digital Access to Cultural Heritage Collections (DOE!), funded by the Flemish Government. DoeDat is about creating data and also, ‘Doe Dat’ means ‘do that’ in Dutch. DoeDat will help us digitize our collections, and will also give the public the chance to take an active part in the process. We aim to build a community of enthusiastic online volunteers who will help us liberate botanical data from specimen labels and documents. We launched the platform on Science Day and within two months, more than one hundred volunteers had transcribed more than 4,000 specimens. Join in at www.DoeDat.be

Abstract This paper argues that scholars of computing, networks, and infrastructures must reckon with the inseparability of “viral” discourses in the 1990s. This co-assembled history documents the reliance on viral analogies and explanations honed in the HIV/AIDS crisis and its massive loss of life, widespread institutional neglect, and comprehensive technological failures. As the 1990s marked a period of intense domestication of computing technologies in the global North, we document how public figures, computer experts, activists, academics, and artists used the intertwined discourses surrounding HIV and new computer technologies to explicate the risks of vulnerability in complex, networked systems. The efficacy of HIV as an analogy is visible in the circulation of viral concepts, fears surrounding interdependence, and emergent descriptions of precarity in the face of a widespread “infrastructure crisis.” Through an analysis of this decade, we show how HIV/AIDS discourses indelibly marked the domestication of computing, computer networks, and nested, digitized infrastructures.

The article discusses the problems of using archival materials and old editions in order to familiarize themselves with the history and culture of individual countries. Using the example of the practice of postmodern technology for digitizing non-academic historical documents by German authors, it is shown that they constitute a significant resource for expanding knowledge in the field of cultural studies, educational history, historical geography due to the presence of a text array and visual range. Visual imagery includes a wide range of artifacts, including national and military clothing, national symbols, historical geopolitical maps. Digitized editions of the 18th and 19th centuries, devoted to the problems of the history and culture of the Armenian people, being descriptive material, make a great contribution to the formation of a new scientific direction in Armenology. They allow you to get acquainted with authentic historical documents containing information about the geopolitical, historical, social, cultural, philosophical and pedagogical problems of the Caucasus in the 18th century. and XIX centuries. The article shows that subsequent scientific research on the problems of the history of the peoples of the Caucasus did not become widely known due to the lack of available digitalized historical sources containing the works of both Armenian and foreign authors.

Sex & Sexuality, Module II: Self-Expression, Community, and Identity published by Adam Matthew Digital is a collection of digitized primary sources obtained from archives in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia with content from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries “showing the shifting attitudes and varied experiences of sexuality.” While covering the full range of human sexuality, the collection primarily focuses on the LGBTQ+ experience. This module will be a beneficial resource for academic programs studying gender and human sexuality at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Sex and Sexuality makes use of the artificial intelligence capabilities of Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) to enable keyword searching of handwritten documents. The documents and images in the collection have been meticulously digitized by Adam Matthew Digital making them discoverable, visually appealing, and adjustable. The proprietary interface is intuitive to navigate with the product being compatible with a range of browsers and electronic devices. Contract provisions are standard to the product and permit for use across locations and interlibrary loan sharing. As pricing is primarily determined by size and enrollment, the collection may be affordable for libraries of varying sizes. Users seeking more current, global primary and secondary resources on gender, women's, and LGBTQ+ topics may find ProQuest's GenderWatch a more suitable choice. Those seeking information on sexuality from the sixteenth to mid-twentieth centuries, or a more global perspective from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, may prefer modules three and four respectively of Gale's Archives of Sexuality & Gender.
