OOHAY: Visualizing the Web
|
| Project
Description |
 |
DLI-1
The Digital Library project
phase 1 at University of Arizona
was one of the original NSF-funded
Digital Library Initiative (DLI)
projects. The project aimed to
develop techniques to enhance
information retrieval of large
digital collections and to support
semantic interoperability across
subject domains. |

OOHAY: Visualizing the Web (DLI-2)
The Object Oriented Hierarchical
Automatic Yellow Page (OOHAY)
project is part of the Phase
2 Digital Library Initiative
project at the University of
Arizona, which is funded
by NSF Digital Library Initiative-2.
The goal of our digital library
project is to develop techniques
and methodologies for automatically
analyzing and visualizing large
collections of unstructured
documents. The project will
integrate system and human-generated
classification systems and will
create a high-performance digital
library classification system
(i.e., the OOHAY system).
