Design and Implementation of an Experimental Cataloguing Advisor-Mapper

Abstract The main objective of this study is to understand how an experimental, semi-automatic cataloging adviser (Mapper) could be designed to assist the intermittent user in the descriptive cataloging of certain US-produced, single-sheet maps. The study is concerned with formalizing experts' judgment into a set of rules, which are then used to design Mapper's knowledge base. The questions of user modeling and human-computer compatibility are examined in order to propose a set of user interface characteristics related to Mapper's design. Mapper is implemented using the Apple HyperCard TM system.
