Abstract

With the purpose of enriching existing catalogues with FRBR, which is the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, in mind, this paper aims to evaluate the impact of bibliographic ontology on the overall system’s performance in the field of literature. In doing this, OCLC’s FictionFinder (http://fictionfinder.oclc.org) was selected and qualitatively evaluated. In this study 40 university seniors evaluated the following three aspects using the ‘transferring thoughts onto paper method’: 1) In which ways is this FRBR-aware bibliographical ontology helpful? 2) Are the things which are initially attempted to be helped being helped? 3) Would users seeking one work in particular also see all other related works? In conclusion, this study revealed that, as Cutter claimed in his 2nd rule of the library, collocations give added-value to the users and overall ontology provides better interface and usefulness. It also revealed that a system’s evaluation with qualitative methodology helped to build full pictures of the system and to grip the information needs of the users when the system is developed. Qualitative evaluations, therefore, could be used as indicators for the evaluation of any information retrieval systems.

본 연구는 인쇄형 해외학술지 원문제공서비스(DDS)의 경제성을 분석하기 위해 이용자 기반의 경제적 가치 평가 방법론 및 모델을 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 K기관의 구독중인 해외학술지 원문제공서비스의 데이터 중 일부가 분석을 위해 사용되었고 K기관 원문제공서비스 이용자를 대상으로 웹 서베이를 실시하였다. 해외학술지 원문제공서비스의 경제적 가치는 사용가치, 비사용가치, 그리고 기대가치가 고려되었고 사용가치 산출을 위해서는 소득접근법과 시장접근법을 제안하였다. 이용자에 의한 가치 산출을 위해, 본 연구는 조건부가치평가법을 적용하였고 이를 위해 가상 시나리오를 설정하였다.

Abstract

This study is to develope a user-based economic valuation methodology and model for the economic analysis on the DDS of foreign journals. For this study, the sampling data on the annual subscribed journals by K institution was used and the online questionnaire was used to collect data. There are three aspects of the economic value of DDS journals was classified as use value, non-use value, and expectancy value. We suggested the income and market approach to measure its economic use value. To estimate the its value by individual users, this study applied a contingent valuation method and designed the imaginary scenarios.
