Item Open Access À la Redécouverte des photographies perdues des Expositions de la Royal Photographic Society(Etudes Photographiques, 2016-04) Brown, Stephen C.Cet article présente une tentative réussie de rassembler des archives photographiques jusque là éparpillées, conservées dans différentes institutions, par l’utilisation seule d’informations textuelles de ces archives, afin d’identifier des œuvres qui on fait défaut à d’importants catalogues d’exposition pendant plus de 100 ans. Conduite dans le cadre du projet FuzzyPhoto financé par le Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) au Royaume-Uni, cette étude a permis de développer un outil de recherche pour les chercheurs intéressés à identifier les œuvres de collections de musées en ligne en dépit des lacunes, imprécisions et erreurs que ces documents peuvent comporter. Ce texte décrit les défis rencontrés dans le travail avec des archives de musées ainsi que la méthode développée pour les traiter. Cette nouvelle approche repose sur des techniques d'appariement sémantique et sur des algorithmes basés sur une logique floue qui illustrent les types de choix que tout humain preneur de décision opère en poursuivant ce genre de tâches. Les résultats sont présentés et l’enjeu de cette recherche est débattu pour servir les institutions de préservation du patrimoine culturel et plus largement encore.Item Metadata only Access is not a text alternative.(Left Coast Press, 2010) Brown, Stephen C.Item Metadata only Accessibility 2.0: next steps for Web accessibility.(Routledge, 2009-02-19) Brown, Stephen C.; Kelly, Brian; Sloan, David; Seale, Jane; Lauke, Patrick; Ball, Simon; Smith, StuartItem Metadata only Accessibility 2.0: people policy and processes.(ACM, 2007) Kelly, Brian; Brown, Stephen C.; Sloan, David; Lauke, Patrick; Ball, Simon; Seale, JaneItem Metadata only Adding value to online collections for different audiences(2005) Brown, Stephen C.; Gerrard, D.; Ward, H.Item Metadata only Agony Aunt(Times Newspapers, 2001-02-16) Brown, Stephen C.; Ritchie, JeanItem Metadata only Appraisal and counselling training for British Telecom managers.(1989-07) Brown, Stephen C.Item Metadata only An appraisal of quality : distance learning and BT.(Open University; International Council for Distance Education., 1995) Brown, Stephen C.; Kirkwood, A.Item Metadata only The Aria Project, final report.(De Momtfort University, 2006) Brown, Stephen C.; Ross, R.Item Metadata only ARIA: Arts and humanities research ICT awareness and training project website and related ICT guides website funded by JISC for the AHRC Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in training and research programme(2006-09-01) Brown, Stephen C.; Liang, V.; Ross, R.; Sermon, P.Item Metadata only The Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS) review and user survey final report.(De Montfort University, 2006) Brown, Stephen C.; Ross, R.; Gerrard, D.; Greengrass, Mark, 1949-; Bryson, JaredItem Metadata only Arts and humanities researchers and ICT.(2006) Brown, Stephen C.Item Metadata only Assessment of polysomaty, embryo formation and regeneration in liquid media for various species of diploid annual medicago(Elsevier, 2001) Iantcheva, A.; Vlahova, M.; Trinh, T.

Objects (exhibits) come with ready made descriptions and metadata. In the case reported here the process was less straightforward than expected, due to unanticipated characteristics of the data. Although in retrospect the exhibitions appear to us as a series, at the time they were discrete annual events and while there was some continuity from year to year, inevitably over the 46 year period in question there were changes in exhibition content, structure and presentation. Such variations can create ambiguities and complexity which in turn create challenges for the information designer with respect to how far one should summarise, aggregate and interpret the data to make it more usable. There is a trade-off between simplification of the search/browse functions and simplification of results. While there is no simple correct solution to these sorts of issues because they depend as much as anything on the needs and abilities of the target user population iterative user trials based on prototypes can help to identify where the balance should be struck.
