  • Document DNA: Distributed Content-Centered Provenance Data Tracking

    Rinck, Michael (University of Waikato, 2015)
    This thesis presents a new content-centered approach to provenance data tracking: the Document DNA. Knowledge workers are overwhelmed as they find it hard to structure, maintain, and find re-used content within their ...

  • Improving Digital Library Support for Historic Newspaper Collections

    Lin, Leo (The University of Waikato, 2009)
    National and international initiatives are underway around the globe to digitise the vast treasure troves of historical artefacts they contain and make them available as digital libraries (DLs). The developed DLs are often ...

  • Integrating Interactive Digital Maps into a Digital Library

    McIntosh, Samuel John (The University of Waikato, 2010)
    Digital libraries and digital maps are two fast-growing technologies in the world of computing. In this thesis we have explored using digital maps to enhance the functionality of digital libraries. The Greenstone 3 digital ...

  • An Interactive User Management System for Multilingual Documents: A case study of the Pei Jones collection

    Cader, Papitha (University of Waikato, 2012)
    Can general purpose DL software architecture be designed to provide a flexible environment that supports both the management and end-user roles through a single unified web interface? In particular we take the collected ...
