However, the dimension of semantic granularity also should be considered for effective retrieval. In this paper, we propose a semantic granularity based IR model which takes into account the three dimensions, namely similarity, popularity, and semantic granularity, to improve domain-specific search. In particular, a concept-based computational model is developed to estimate the semantic granularity of documents with reference to a domain ontology.

  • From Oil Wealth to Green Growth
    From oil wealth to green growth An empirical agent-based model of recession, migration and sustainable urban transition Jiaqi Ge1, Gary Polhill1, Tony Craig1, Nan Liu2 1 The James Hutton Institute 2 University of Aberdeen Abstract This paper develops an empirical, multi-layered and spatially-explicit agent-based model that explores sustainable pathways for Aberdeen City and surrounding area to transition from an oil- based economy to green growth. The model takes an integrated, complex system approach to urban systems and incorporates the interconnectedness between people, households, businesses, industries and neighbourhoods. We find that the oil price collapse could potentially lead to enduring regional decline and recession. With green growth, however, the crisis could be used as an opportunity to restructure the regional economy, reshape its neighbourhoods, and redefine its identity in the global economy. We find that the type of the green growth and the location of the new businesses will have profound ramifications for development outcomes, not only by directly creating businesses and employment opportunities in strategic areas, but also by redirecting households and service businesses to these areas. New residential and business centres emerge as a result of this process. Finally, we argue that industries, businesses and the labour market are essential components of a deeply integrated urban system. To understand urban transition, models should consider both household and industrial aspects. Highlights • An empirical, multi-layered

  • LIRG :Tkentyyears On!
    LIRG :TkentyYears On! The Library and Information Research Group (LIRG) was formed in 1977 .Its formation followed informal discussions between researchers who felt it was important to link LIS research with practice and who believed that existing professional organizations were not adequately fulfilling this task. The Group remains active in its central mission of bringing together those with an interest in library and information research and its application. The Group publishes Library and Information Research News (LIRN). it organizes meetings and conferences, and it has a range of awards and prizes. The liveliness of the Group, despite its small membership, is a tribute to the efforts of a succession of people who have participated actively in it over the years. The Group has had many successful activities over the last few years incuding a major conference on quality, some excellent seminars, the continued production of LIRN, and the establishment of the LIRG StudentPrizes. However, thetwentiethanniversaryoftheestablishmentoftheGroupisanopportunetime to review what we are doing and how we operate. We cannot ignore that the research environment has changed markedly over the last twenty years and that the needs of our members and potential members are likely to have evolved and changed. The Group needs to move towards agreement on our future mission, aims, operation, activities, and priorities. A new Committee came into office at the last Annual General Meeting in April. It is a pleasure that we have some new Committee Members who wish to become fully involved with the Group. They join a strong core of existing Committee Members who wish to continue their work for the Group.

CONVENER’S REPORT Professor Maehle reported on four items, as undernoted. SPSO’s Complaints Handling Procedure Like all other HEIs, the university was required to adopt the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman’s (SPSO’s) Complaints Handling Procedure (CHP). To date, considerable work had been undertaken on this matter by the Academic Regulations Sub-Committee and further consideration had been given to this by the Quality Assurance and Enhancement Committee and Academic Council. Going forward, the key challenge would be in training staff across the university on this new process, which would replace all existing complaints processes/procedures.
