Visualizing Queries in a Distributed Digital Library System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A general user interface paradigm is presented which is capable of modelling iterative query refinement and embedding several common and advanced query techniques. A prototype implementation of this user interface called AQUA has been applied to the NCSTRL (Networked Computer Science Technical Reports Library) distributed digital

SOMLib: A Distributed Digital Library System based on Self-Organizing Maps
We describe an architecture for a distributed digital library system based on an unsupervised neural network model, namely the Self-Organizing Map. The system allows the clustering of text documents forming the basis for intelligent information retrieval. User prooles can be combined with full text queries or sample texts to locate documents within the library system. Contrary to conventional a...
متن کاملA Characterization Study of NCSTRL Distributed Searching
NCSTRL, the Networked Computer Science Technical Reference Library, is a federated digital library based on the Dienst architecture. One aspect of this architecture is distributed searching, with digital library queries being dispatched from query routers to globally distributed indexers that process them and return results. We studied user data for a two-month period at five query routers in o...
متن کاملInformation Retrieval on the Internet
The main components of a search engine are the Web crawler which has the task of collecting webpages and the Information Retrieval system which has the task of retrieving text documents that answer a user query. In this chapter we present approached to Web crawling, Information Retrieval models, and methods used to evaluate the retrieval performance. Practical considerations include information...
متن کاملCOSPEX: A System for Constructing Private Digital Libraries
In this paper we describe a system called COSPEX (COnceptual SPace EXplorer) which aims at assisting users in constructing their own private digital libraries. Information servers on the Internet have their own purposes. Each of the servers is constructed distributedly and managed autonomously, and its semantics is different from each other. On the other hand, users’ information needs are diffe...
متن کاملThe MINERVA1 Project: Towards Collaborative Search in Digital Libraries Using Peer-to-Peer Technology
We consider the problem of collaborative search across a large number of digital libraries and query routing strategies in a peer-to-peer (P2P) environment. Both digital libraries and users are equally viewed as peers and, thus, as part of the P2P network. Our system provides a versatile platform for a scalable search engine combining local index structures of autonomous peers with a global dir...
