  • Designing Digital Libraries for Post-Literate Patrons. Nurnberg, Peter J. Schneider, Erich R. Leggett, John J. Botany Classification Electronic Libraries Higher Education Hypermedia Information Systems Interdisciplinary Approach Literacy Metadata Secondary Education This paper examines two fields that contribute to research on digital libraries--information systems and orality-literary studies--and applies them to a particular digital library domain, botanical taxonomic work. Topics discussed include: (1) an introduction to HOSS (i.e., a computationally-oriented hypermedia system) architecture, including the hyperbase layer, structure processing layer, metadata manager layer, application layer, and other tools; (2) an introduction to orality, literacy, and hyperliteracy; (3) botanical taxonomic scholarship; (4) information systems technology applications, including single/multiple taxonomies, ownership of taxonomies, and definition of taxonomies; and (5) hyperliterate work practices, including single/multiple taxonomies, ownership of taxonomies, and definition of taxonomies. A table presents examples of differences between orality and literacy. Contains 19 references. (Author/DLS)
