본 연구는 정보추구의 과도성으로 인해 자행되는 프라이버시 침해를 살펴보고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 최근 5년간 미디어에서 볼 수 있었던 프라이버시 침해 사례를 종류별로 분석, 이 중 지나친 정보추구행동의 결과로 나타나는 침해 사례들을 분석하였다. 정보추구의 동기, 주체, 성격이라는 세 가지 기준, 다섯 가지 유형에 기반, 과도한 정보추구로 인해 발생하는 프라이버시 침해를 사례별로 소개했다. 환경변화에 따른 바람직한 정보추구 자세와 프라이버시 침해 방지를 위한 정보이용에 대한 몇 가지 고민과 제언으로 마무리하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to try to describe types of invasion of privacy caused by excessive information seeking on mass media. Recent 5 years of cases were gathered and analyzed to see the types of invasion of privacy, and extracted only those cases showing the results by excessive information seeking. Three standards such as the intension, the subject, and the characteristics were selected to differentiate the types and cases. Five types of those three standards were introduced by case by case. The issues regarding ways of privacy protection and correct attitude of information seeking were explored and a few suggestions were included at the end.

Abstract

In this study, we investigated the information users' needs and information seeking behavior in the field of science and technology. We found that the science and technology researchers most frequently needed information while conducting the research & development related tasks and drafting research papers. The researchers attributed the main sources of research ideas to be the communication among colleagues and the literature review. The researchers's most preferred information sources were digital libraries, web search engines, and academic information portal. In conclusion, the science and technology researchers regarded the online use of electronic materials as the primary source of information. We hope that this investigation reported herein to be the foundation for developing user-centered information services for the science and technology discipline.

Abstract

Our limited understanding of real-life music information queries is an impediment to developing music information retrieval (MIR) systems that meet the needs of real users. This study aims to contribute to developing a theorized understanding of how people seek music information by an empirical investigation of real-life queries, in particular, focusing on the accuracy of user-provided information and users' uncertainty expressions. This study found that much of users' information is inaccurate; users made various syntactic and semantic errors in providing this information. Despite these inaccuracies and uncertainties, many queries were successful in eliciting correct answers. A theory from pragmatics is suggested as a partial explanation for the unexpected success of inaccurate queries.

Abstract

Policy information is very valuable around the nation in its aspects of uniqueness, professionalism and specificity, so it has great significances to individual citizens. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare systematic instruments for anyone to have easy access to policy information owned by government and administrative institutions. And particularly, it is so impending to develop efficient policy information service(PIS) system. Indeed, however, Korea doesn’t have yet established any policy or system to make policy information available en bloc to citizens. Thus, the purpose of this study is to conduct a survey to analyze actual profile of Korean policy information circulating institutions, and is also to analyze needs for domestic circulation of policy information, so that it can seek possible ways to consolidate domestic scattered policy information into a nationwide information system to improve national policy information infrastructure of Korea.

Abstract

Authoritative as well as objective information on ranking or dominant research areas of academic departments/schools in a certain discipline is essential for the graduate school applicants. In this study, we performed an informetric analysis to identify dominant research areas in the top 10 U.S. LIS schools. We used two different datasets of research productivity and research interests of the LIS faculty. The correspondence analysis method was employed to graphically display the association between research areas and the LIS schools. We found that the research productivity data collected from SSCI database generated a very informative map presenting which research areas were dominant in which LIS schools. We also found that for the two most productive subject areas in LIS over the past 10-year period, the proportion of research articles in information retrieval decreased to a great extent in the recent 5-year period, whereas that of information seeking behavior showed an almost same degree of increase.

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.

최근 웹 환경이 대중화되고 개방됨에 따라 웹은 단순한 정보 획득의 공간이 아닌, 의견 표출과 교환의 장이 되어 가고 있으며, 이에 따라 웹 상에서 표출된 특정 주제에 대한 사람들의 의견을 자동으로 검색하기 위한 기술 개발의 필요성이 점차 증대되고 있다. 이러한 의견 문서 검색 문제는 사용자 질의와 문서간의 적합성만을 고려하는 일반적인 정보검색 방법으로는 해결하기 어려우며, 문서 내 의견 포함 여부 분석을 수행할 수 있는 더욱 진보된 시스템을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존 검색 시스템의 구조 하에서, 의견 문서 검색을 효과적으로 수행할 수 있는 시스템을 제안한다. 의견 검색을 수행하기 위해 문서 내 의견 분석 방법에 대해 기존의 사전 기반 방식과 기계학습 기반 방식을 결합한 새로운 혼합 방식을 제안하고, 실험을 통하여 검색 성능을 개선하는 효과가 있음을 보였다.

Abstract

Recently, as its growth and popularization, the Web is changed into the place where people express, share and debate their opinions rather than the space of information seeking. Accordingly, the needs for searching opinions expressed in the Web are also increasing. However, it is difficult to meet these needs by using a classical information retrieval system that only concerns the relevance between the user's query and documents. Instead, a more advanced system that captures subjective information through documents is required. The proposed system effectively retrieves opinionated documents by utilizing an existing information retrieval system. This paper proposes a kind of hybrid method which can utilize both a dictionary-based opinion analysis technique and a machine learning based opinion analysis technique. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in improving the performance.
