PETER HEPBURN

Research Statement

My research interests focus on issues of language and access to digital information: storage and retrieval of information in electronic formats, especially images; relationship between indexing of images and their storage and retrieval and the implications for digitization; use and navigation of web pages, especially as it applies to managing the pages.
