Federated Search: Towards a Common Search Infrastructure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within scientific institutes there exist many language resources. These resources are often quite specialized and relatively unknown. The current infrastructural initiatives try to tackle this issue by collecting metadata about the resources and establishing centers with stable repositories to ensure the availability of the resources. It would be beneficial if the researcher could, by means of a simple query, determine which resources and which centers contain information useful to his or her research, or even work on a set of distributed resources as a virtual corpus. In this article we propose an architecture for a distributed search environment allowing researchers to perform searches in a set of distributed language resources.

Searching Heterogeneous e-Learning Resources
Resource discovery supports the core functions of virtual learning environments and digital repository systems. The function enables existing resources to be identified and re-purposed for teaching. This paper describes the purpose and the development of a search service developed within a project funded by the UK Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). The search service corresponds to an ...
متن کاملReducing Storage Costs for Federated Search of Text Databases
In environments containing many text search engines a federated search system provides people with a single point of access. When search engines are managed by independent organizations two key problems are discovering and representing the contents of each text database. Query-based sampling is a recent technique for discovering the contents of uncooperative databases so as to create database r...

متن کاملTowards Federated Product Information Search and Comparison Backed by Ontologies
Product information search has become one of the most important application areas of the Internet. Especially considering pricy technical products, consumers tend to carry out intensive research activities previous to the actual acquisition for creating an all-embracing view on the product of interest. Federated search backed by ontology-based product information representation shows great prom...
متن کاملFederated Search of Text-Based Digital Libraries in Hierarchical Peer-to-Peer Networks
Peer-to-peer architectures are a potentially powerful model for developing large-scale networks of text-based digital libraries, but peer-to-peer networks have so far provided very limited support for text-based federated search of digital libraries using relevancebased ranking. This paper addresses the problems of resource representation, resource ranking and selection, and result merging for ...
