Do non-experts benefit from controlled vocabularies in search interfaces?
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Search providers in domains from medicine to news have long labelled documents with controlled vocabularies, to help users explore their collections. These vocabularies are expensive to build and use, however, and seem to be useful mostly for domain experts. This paper describes an on-going gaze-tracking study which asks whether non-experts notice controlled vocabularies when they are exposed in a search interface; whether they make use of them; and whether this improves search. We also hope to learn what effect several standard search interfaces have on the use of controlled vocabularies.

متن کاملBetter living through ontologies at the Immune Epitope Database
The Immune Epitope Database (IEDB) project incorporates independently developed ontologies and controlled vocabularies into its curation and search interface. This simplifies curation practices, improves the user query experience and facilitates interoperability between the IEDB and other resources. While the use of independently developed ontologies has long been recommended as a best practice...
متن کاملSearching in semantically rich linked data: a case study in cultural heritage
Traditionally the relations between concepts from a controlled vocabulary, such as the hierarchical and associative relations in a thesaurus, have been used to support users in their search process. In the context of the Semantic Web, multiple interlinked vocabularies are becoming available, providing a large number of different relations between concepts. However, for a specific search task, o...
متن کاملQuality ontology engineering based on thesauri
Vocabularies (sometimes called terminologies) and ontologies do not appear to be very different from the perspective of a practitioner and are often used as if they are ontologies. Nevertheless, experts acknowledge that ontologies are different from vocabularies, but find it difficult to pin down the differences. The identification of the differences between ontologies and vocabularies is the m...
