The paper presents a set of integrated on-line language resources targeted at Japanese language learners, primarily those whose mother tongue is Slovene. The resources consist of the on-line Japanese-Slovene learners’ dictionary jaSlo and two corpora, a 1 million word Japanese-Slovene parallel corpus and a 300 million word corpus of web pages, where each word and sentence is marked by its difficulty level; this corpus is furthermore available as a set of five distinct corpora, each one containing sentences of the particular level. The corpora are available for exploration through NoSketch Engine, the open source version of the commercial state-of-the-art corpus analysis software Sketch Engine. The dictionary is available for Web searching, and dictionary entries have direct links to examples from the corpora, thus offering a wider picture of a) possible translations in concrete contextualised examples, and b) monolingual Japanese usage examples of different difficulty levels to support language learning.

Purpose The success of e-commerce websites depends on their effective communication and influence on their users. At first glance, the users are impressed by the website design and, if inspired, they would continue their operations on the website. This paper aims to evaluate the effects of visual aesthetic of the Web pages on users’ behavior in online shopping environment. In particular, the paper aims to evaluate the elements of visual aesthetic on the organism variables (i.e. “satisfaction,” “arousal,” “perceived on-line service quality” and “trust”) and measure them on the users’ response (i.e. purchase, comparison and re-visit). Design/methodology/approach Using the stimulus–organism–response (S-O-R) framework, the authors first assessed direct and indirect effects of visual aesthetics of e-commerce websites on customer responses. Then, the Visual Aesthetics of Websites Inventory (VisAWI) method was used to examine the effects of four dimensions (i.e. craftsmanship, simplicity, diversity and colorfulness) on users’ perceived website aesthetics. To do so, DigiKala.com, a famous Iranian e-commerce website was selected and the questionnaires were distributed among its users. Findings The study results revealed that the website aesthetics in the S-O-R evaluation had the greatest direct impact on “perceived quality of online services,” “trust,” “satisfaction” and “arousal,” respectively. These variables also indirectly affected “shopping,” “revisit” and “comparison to similar products on other websites.” Regarding the evaluations based on the VisAWI, the component “craftsmanship” played the most central role in expressing the website aesthetics, followed by the variables “simplicity,” “diversity” and “colorfulness,” respectively. Originality/value Although the considerable effect of Web aesthetics on customers’ purchase behavior has been identified in previous research, it has not been accurately measured. Furthermore, studies on Web aesthetics are mostly limited to information systems’ users and do not concern consumers. Therefore, considering the increasing growth in online shopping and the significance of Web aesthetics to online consumers, investigating how consumers respond to Web aesthetics is of vital importance.

Wide Access

The entire world’s cultural and educational resources are being more and more produced, distributed and accessed in digital form, rather than on paper. Born-digital heritage available on-line, including electronic journals, World Wide Web pages or on-line databases, are now an integral part of the world’s cultural heritage. Consequently preservation of cultural and scientific heritage has undergone substantial changes and has come across new challenges. Traditional methods for preservation have been backed by technological tools of enormous capacities, creating the impression of a constant “revolution”. Most importantly, preservation has shifted from a passive stance (storage) to more active attitude (digitization, migration). However, the transition from the analogue past to the digital future is not smooth, as one would hope (or at least as libraries and their users would have hoped). The digital collection and preservation of on-line cultural and scientific assets was faced with legal instruments pertaining to “analogue age”, such as the legal deposit and the traditional rules of copyright law, which in the digital age seem as inadequate tools for the effective preservation of cultural and scientific heritage and the securing of a wide access to that heritage. Recent and pending changes in the areas of legal deposit and Copyright law attempt to modernize the legislation, but as it is demonstrated, a lot more has to be done in that direction. This chapter presents an overview of the present situation, challenges and problems with a focus on European Community and International Law.

Communication and Internet are two major resources in today’s technical, social and scientific disciplines offering a wide range of possibilities in bringing in new approaches and variations in current ones. Web documents are increasingly growing in size, volume and time, bringing in the need to access and process them off and online over the Internet with a PC or a smart phone. When viewed in Indian context, web documents pose different kinds of challenge and the present study addresses some of them taking into account the vagaries in the Indian languages. This has become very relevant in Indian education scenario, where bilingual and multi-lingual communication and web documents through on-line courses, are being generated. When regional native dialect comes into picture, another dimension of complexity is added. After presenting the different kinds of web pages in the Indian perspective, the case for the development of a generic approach id highlighted so that it can blend with current tools of data mining and at the same time cater to vagaries in Indian texts. The approach based on a pixel level addressing of data-which is of large size-, is later modified and reduced to numerical equivalents using matrix manipulations so that they form inputs to some classification approaches, like statistical, pattern matching and neural models. Some typical case studies on text letters and words are presented to highlight the generality of approach and its flexibility to fit into different tools.

Audit Technology

In the context of growing competition in the market of tourist services, it becomes necessary to introduce digital technologies: booking tours with the help of on-line service, which saves time, speeds up the processing of the application and confirmation of the selected tour. The introduction of information technologies in the system of booking and reservation of hotels, air tickets requires the development of high-quality design and convenient search for consumers on the websites of travel companies. In the modern conditions of globalization of the tourist market, quality management of website service has become a major factor in improving the competitiveness of tourism businesses. An important aspect of the activity of a tourist enterprise is the formation of tools for evaluating its own tourist site in comparison with the websites of enterprises-leaders of the tourism market. Due to the limited financial, labor and time resources objectively arises a problem of ranking directions, methods and specific measures to improve the service quality offered by travel agencies on their web pages. To further identify ways to improve the quality and profitability of the travel agency's website, the authors proposed to use modern methods of website usability audit, that is, the evaluation of the ease of use of the site by the end user. The authors conducted an audit of the websites of travel agencies basing on the methods of taxonomic analysis. They defined the main indicators of assessing the level of quality service provided to visitors of the site, which significantly affect the e-commerce system of travel agencies and the total profit from on-line sales of travel services. The method proposed by the authors can serve as a basis for further improvement of audit technologies of websites of travel agencies and e-commerce operations.

The World Wide Web (WWW) provides users with a graphical computer interface to access digital information from Internet locations around the world. This information may be in the form of text, images, motion pictures, or sound. Web “pages” may also provide near-instantaneous links to other pages with related interests and information, and have the capability of allowing users to fill out forms on-line requesting additional information or services. WWW access is becoming increasingly available to individuals either through direct network links or by a modem connection through an Internet provider, the latter method generally requiring either SLIP or PPP service to establish a link. The background of WWW, its potential, and its future development will be discussed.
