Regional metacommunities in two coastal systems: spatial structure and drivers of plant assemblages
2014
Aim Biogeographical patterns in metacommunities are still poorly understood, and different processes are expected to occur in different habitats. We analysed the regional plant metacommunities of coastal habitats to test whether (1) the influence of space and climate differs between two habitats differentiated along the seashore–inland gradient, and (2) regional variation in species composition of these habitats can be ascribed to different metacommunity paradigms. Location The entire coast of the Iberian Peninsula, south-western Europe. Methods We collected data on the plant species composition of coastal sites on sand dunes across 3000 km of coastline. The sites were classified into two h…
Recent challenges to contemporary art databases. Digitisation Practices and Archive Development in Artist Estates
2021
Over the last decade, databases have appeared as the only solution for artist estates and collections seeking to categorise and disseminate their artworks and thereby enhance their position and reputation. Grounded in empirical work and scholarly research, this paper examines the archive digitisation practices at three high-ranking art organisations – Douglas Gordon’s studio, the Sigmar Polke Estate and the Julia Stoschek Collection – to show how the creation of databases has become central in conforming to best practices and providing valuable information to the art market. In revealing the mindset, requirements and conditions of such digitisation projects, this text offers a reflection on…
Error messages in relational database management systems: A comparison of effectiveness, usefulness, and user confidence
2021
Abstract The database and the database management system (DBMS) are two of the main components of any information system. Structured Query Language (SQL) is the most popular query language for retrieving data from the database, as well as for many other data management tasks. During system development and maintenance, software developers use a considerable amount of time to interpret compiler error messages. The quality of these error messages has been demonstrated to affect software development effectiveness, and correctly formulating queries and fixing them when needed is an important task for many software developers. In this study, we set out to investigate how participants ( N = 152 ) …
IME/Índice Médico Español. Perspectivas y retos tras 40 años de tradición bibliográfica en ciencias de la salud (1964-2003).
2004
Al cumplir cuarenta años de pervivencia, la base de datos IME, versión automatizada del repertorio Índice Médico Español, constituye la mayor base de datos bibliográfica sobre publicaciones en ciencias de la salud en español. Actualmente ha iniciado una nueva etapa en la que pretende responder a las nuevas exigencias de la sociedad mediante la incorporación de algunas innovaciones documentales y tecnológicas. Para ello, se ha mejorado el sistema de gestión de la base de datos mediante aplicaciones que permiten el teletrabajo en tiempo real y la actualización constante de los registros. Además, se ha ampliado su cobertura con la incorporación de nuevas revistas, algunas de ellas electrónicas…
