These services have harnessed thousands of digital volunteers who transcribe, create, enhance and correct text.

		<description><![CDATA[This talk will introduce the process of "wikification"; that is, automatically and judiciously augmenting a plain-text document with pertinent hyperlinks to Wikipedia articles -- as though the document were itself a Wikipedia article. We first describe how Wikipedia can be used to determine semantic relatedness, and then introduce a new, high-performance method of wikification that exploits Wikipedia's 60 M internal hyperlinks for relational information and their anchor texts as lexical information, using simple machine learning.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This presentation analyzes the nine-year experience of an academic digital library, e-Asia, which now holds over 4,000 items.  In many respects, the e-Asia library is a long-running experiment. Yet the project is mature enough to provided lessons in what to do (and what not to do) when digital text is the focus of collection building.  Unlike traditional libraries where, over time, books migrate to and from their shelves, digital libraries hold content that remains relatively immobile while it is the digital "shelves" that change and migrate over time.]]></description>

Rare Book Digitisation Project. The Libraries have allowed the iGroup to set up a scanning shop in its Main Library. Initially it will be used to scan 4,000 western language monographs in its rare book collection dealing mainly with China. It will then be used for other special collections projects.
