File reading is the basis for data sharing and scientific computing. However, manual programming for file reading is labour-intensive and time-consuming, as data formats are heterogeneous and complex. To address such an issue, this study…
The creation of a next generation internet (semantic web) is impossible without attributes, allowing the semantic association of documents and their integration into information context. To achieve these goals, the Universal Metadata…
Organizations publish and share more and more electronic documents like PDF files. Unfortunately, most organizations are unaware that these documents can compromise sensitive information like authors names, details on the information system…
The number of published PDF documents has increased exponentially in recent decades. There is a growing need to make their rich content discoverable to information retrieval tools. In this paper, we present a novel approach to document…
We conducted a preliminary field study to understand the current state of personal digital archiving in practice. Our aim is to design a service for the long-term storage, preservation, and access of digital belongings by examining how…
Scientific knowledge is predominantly stored in books and scientific journals, often in the form of PDFs. However, the PDF format leads to a loss of semantic information, particularly for mathematical expressions. We propose Nougat (Neural…
Various efforts aimed at representing digital assets have emerged from several communities over the last years, including the Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard (METS), the IMS Content Packaging (IMS-CP) XML Binding and the XML…
The efficiency and service quality in a medical environment can be improved by using electronic documents (or e-docs) and digital signatures to speed up both doctors' activity and to provide in the same time easy retrieval and use of needed…
Without careful long-term preservation digital data may be lost to a number of factors, including physical media decay, lack of suitable decoding equipment, and the absence of software. When raw data can be read but lack suitable…
The efficient storage of digital data is becoming very challenging over the years due to the exponential increase in the generation of data which can't compete with the existing storage resources. Furthermore, the infrequently accessed data…
The majority of scientific papers are distributed in PDF, which pose challenges for accessibility, especially for blind and low vision (BLV) readers. We characterize the scope of this problem by assessing the accessibility of 11,397 PDFs…
This survey analyzed the quality of the PDF documents on online repositories in Switzerland, examining their accessibility for people with visual impairments. Two minimal accessibility features were analyzed: the PDFs had to have tags and a…
Programs that process data that reside in files are widely used in varied domains, such as banking, healthcare, and web-traffic analysis. Precise static analysis of these programs in the context of software verification and transformation…
This paper surveys the current state of the art in document automation (DA). The objective of DA is to reduce the manual effort during the generation of documents by automatically integrating input from different sources and assembling…
With the transformation of computing from personal computers to the Internet, document formats have also seen some changes over the years. Future document formats are likely going to adapt to the emerging needs of ubiquitous computing,…
The current ways in which documents are made freely accessible in the Web no longer adhere to the models established Budapest/Bethesda/Berlin (BBB) definitions of Open Access (OA). Since those definitions were established, OA-related…
We consider a system consisting of a library of time-varying files, a server that at all times observes the current version of all files, and a cache that at the beginning stores the current versions of all files but afterwards has to…
We present a longitudinal study on the long-term evolution of maintainability in open-source software. Quality assessment remains at the forefront of both software research and practice, with many models and assessment methodologies…
This paper provides an overview of the Omnidirectional Media Format (OMAF) standard, second edition, which has been recently finalized. OMAF specifies the media format for coding, storage, delivery, and rendering of omnidirectional media,…
The process of documenting and describing the world's languages is undergoing radical transformation with the rapid uptake of new digital technologies for capture, storage, annotation and dissemination. However, uncritical adoption of new…
