Designing a User Interface for Interactive Retrieval of Structured Documents - Lessons Learned from the INEX Interactive Track

The interactive track of the Initiative for the Evaluation of XML retrieval (INEX) aims at collecting empirical data about user interaction behaviour and to build methods and algorithms for supporting interactive retrieval in digital library systems containing structured documents. In this paper we discuss and compare the usability aspects of the web-based user interface used in 2004 with the a...

Reference Linking the Web’s Scholarly Papers

Along with the explosive growth of the Web has come a great increase in on-line scholarly literature. Thus the Web is becoming an efficient source of up-to-date information for the scientific researcher, and more and more researchers are turning to their computers to keep current on results in their field. Not only is Web retrieval usually faster than a walk to the library, but the information ...
