Dr. Ali Shiri Speaks in Wisconsin

Dr. Ali Shiri gave an invited public lecture at the School of Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee on December 7.

The lecture, entitled "Confluence of Visualization and Semantics: Development of Thesaurus-Enhanced Visual Interfaces for Digital Libraries," focused on the development and evaluation of two prototype thesaurus-enhanced visual interfaces for the Government of Canada portal and the UNESCO digital library collections, with a particular emphasis on the importance of providing users with semantically rich and highly interactive multilingual user interfaces.
