Geo-temporal Information Systems Tools • Geographical Information Systems • Gazetteers: Name authority lists, type, latitude & longitude • Named time period directories: Type, calendar span. • Temporal displays: Time lines; chronologies. • Geo-temporal map displays. Grid & Libraries, 10/18/04.
Metadata Management Tools • Metadata crosswalks: Mapping corresponding fields • Vocabulary mapping: Bilingual dictionaries of values • Format conversion: e.g. MARC – XML • Metadata handling, e.g. Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS). Grid & Libraries, 10/18/04.
Selection and Retrieval Tools • Normalizing, stemming, etc. • Index generation. • Selection tools: Boolean, vector space, probabilistic, &c. • Retrieved sets: Combining sets, Retrieval from sets, &c. • Ranking and display. Grid & Libraries, 10/18/04.
