Finding aids are tools which facilitate to locate and understand archives and records. Traditionally there are two types of archival finding aids: vertical and horizontal. Vertical finding aids such as inventories have multi-level descriptions based on provenance, while horizontal ones such as catalogs and index are tools to guide to the vertical finding aids based on the subject. In the web environment, traditional finding aids are evolving into more dynamic forms. Respecting the principles of provenance and original order, vertical finding aids are changing to multi-entity structures with development of ISAD(G), ISAAR(CPF) and ISDF as standards for describing each entity. However, vertical finding aids can be too difficult, complicated, and boring for many users, who are accustomed to the easy and exciting searching tools in the internet world. Complementing them, new types of finding aids are appearing to provide easy, interesting, and extensive access channels. This study investigates the development and limitation of vertical finding aids, and the recent trend of evolving new finding aids complementing the vertical ones. The study finds three new trends of finding aid development. They are (i) mixture, (ii) integration, and (iii) openness. In recent days, certain finding aids are mixed with stories and others provide integrated searches for the collections of various heritage institutions. There are cases for experimenting user participation in the development of finding aids using Web 2.0 applications. These new types of finding aids can also cause some problems such as decontextualised description and prejudices, especially in the case of mixed finding aids and quality control of user contributed annotations and comments. To solve these problems, the present paper suggests to strengthen the infrastructure of vertical finding aids and to connect them with various new ones and to facilitate interactions with users of finding aids. It is hoped that the present paper will provide impetus for archives including the National Archives of Korea to set up and evaluate the development strategies for archival finding aids.

Many archives, including the National Archives of Korea, use online finding aids. However, in many aspects, they need improvement. In this study, with focus on the National Archives of Korea, the online finding aids of the National Archives of Australia (NAA), The National Archives (TNA) of United Kingdom, and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) of the United States were analyzed. Focus group interview was administered to users of the archives, identifying the pros and cons of online finding aids of NAA, TNA, and NARA. Based on the results, various improvement and development directions are suggested, including aspects on overall functions and hierarchical search, search options and subject search, representing search results, and archival contents services.

The purpose of the article is to help users to select appropriate Korean WWW search tools and to retrieve Web documents for their information needs by using them effectively. It analyzes the characteristics, functions, and advantages and disadvatages of each search tool, while search tools are divided broadly by two categories-subject directory services (Kor-seek, DIR, ZIP, Netquest21, Simmany) and keyword search engines (Simmany, Kachine, Jungbotamjung, Anysearch, Unifinder, Webglider, Missdachanni). It provides the selection criteria of search tools for users who have information needs. In addition, the study also attempts to contribute to the improvements in designing Korean WWW search tools, as investigating their shortcomings.

In this paper, we suggest an information retrieval visualization tool using the knowledge representation method. Information retrieval visualization tool suggested in this paper is designed to automatically extract retrieval intention using user's search history data and visualize extracted retrieval intention in the knowledge representation method structure. A psychological knowledge representation methodology was adopted for schema for retrieval intention representation and its effectiveness has been proved through the behavioral experiments. Result of experiment revealed that information retrieval visualization tool has been improved approximately 39% in user satisfaction compared to existing retrieval method, suggesting a measure to solve re-retrieval problem in the process of information retrieval.

The minimal pairs mean the pairs that have same phonotactics except just one sound in the sequences cause different lexical items. This paper proposes the searching tool of minimal pairs for efficiency of phonological researches with minimal pairs. We suggest a guide to develop Korean minimal pair searching programs by comparing to other programs. Proposing tool has user-friendly interface, minimizing key inputs, for linguistics who are not fluent in computer programs. And it serves the function which classifies the words in dictionary for the detailed researches. And for efficiency, it increases speed of dictionary loading by separating syllables through Unicode analysis, and optimizes dictionary structure for searching efficiency. The searching algorithm gains in speed by hashing algorithm using syllable counts. In our tool, the speed is improved more than earlier version about 5 times at converting dictionary and about 3 times at searching.

WWW상에서 많은 정보 가운데 자신에게 필요한 정보를 찾기 위해 검색 엔진을 사용하는데, 대부분의 검색도구들은 문자 중심의 스크롤되는 페이지로 보여주기 때문에 검색결과가 많아지면 원하는 정보를 쉽게 찾기 힘들고 앞 뒤 임의의 위치로 이동하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 검색 결과를 시각화하여 보여 줌으로써 편리한 사용자 인터페이스를 제공하여 원하는 정보를 쉽게 찾고, 그 문서가 있는 웹사이트로 곧바로 가는 기능을 가진 시각화 도구를 개발하였다. 본 시각화 도구는 Java로 구현하여 모든 플랫폼에서 사용할 수 있으며, Java를 지원하는 모든 웹브라우저 상에서 실행될 수 있다.

As the amount of information overflows, the personal information produced, utilized is difficult to find immediately because of the huge amount and diversity of information. Accordingly, it is necessary for an individual to manage effectively the personal information. This study proposes using desktop search tools as a way of the effective management of personal digital depositary and presents their problems and improvements through comparison and analysis of six desktop search tools.

Since with the information explosion more and more bibliographic materials are continually being produced, the need for improvement of the design of bibliographic materials is urgent for quicker and easier use. One questionaire survey concerned with user preference on 7 Korean bibliographic materials was carried out and got the result that two of those 7 systems, Annual Index to Korean Periodicals, Theses for the Doctor's & Master's Degree in Korea are used most frequently and there are also lots of user discontent about currency, coverage, subject heading, layout and typography. The other study was an experimental searching on 4 Korean bibliographic materials to find out whose coding system is most efficient in information searching. According to the result all of those 4 bibliographic materials are very low in retrieval ratio and Annual Index to Korean Periodicals shows the lowest retrieval ratio. The conclusion suggests that deeper and wider investigation should be carried out as one of national projects for the most useful and efficient presentation of bibliographic materials.

본 논문에서는 새로운 내용기반 영상 검색 방법인 'query-by-gesture'를 제안하고 이를 본 논문의 영역기반 영상 검색 도구인 FRIP시스템에 적용하였다. 'query-by-gesture' 검색 방법을 이용하여, 사용자는 마우스나 다른 스케치 도구를 사용하지 않더라도 컴퓨터에 부착된 카메라를 이용하여 쉽고 편리한 방법으로 찾고자 하는 객체를 검색할 수 있다. 또한 본 논문에서 제안하는 'query-by-gesture' 방법은 다른 동작 인식 방법에서 문제점으로 제기되는 속도 문제를 해결하기 위해 색상을 이용하여 손 영역을 찾아내고 찾아진 손가락 끝점에 local 윈도우를 적용시켜 빠르고 효율적인 검색 환경을 제공하도록 설계되었다.
