The Evolution of Search Results into Query Portals - 0 views

  •  
    "A patent application published by Microsoft at the end of 2009 hinted at an evolution in search results that goes beyond blending into those results a mix of information from other types of search results. The document describes something referred to as "query portals." The patent application is: Query-Driven Web Portals Invented by Kaushik Chakrabarti, Surajit Chaudhuri, Venkatesh Ganti, Dong Xin, Sanjay Agrawal, and Arnd Christian Konig Assigned to Microsoft US Patent Application 20090327223 Published December 31, 2009 Filed: June 26, 2008 Abstract: The described implementations relate to query portals. One technique analyzes search results generated by a web search engine responsive to a user search query. The technique also dynamically generates a query portal that lists the search results as well as entities identified from the search results. In addition to providing search results for a specific query, we're told that the search engine will also include "complementary information derived from the search results." "

« Moteur ou labyrinthe ? » | Bulletin des Bibliothèques de France 2009 - Pari... - 0 views

  •  
    "Vingt ans après l'observation des usages des catalogues informatisés menée par Joëlle Le Marec à la Bibliothèque publique d'information 1, les administrateurs du portail documentaire actuel, accompagnés par le service Études et recherche, ont souhaité évaluer la réception et la compréhension de cet outil par ses utilisateurs. La méthode des tests scénarisés, très utilisée en ergonomie informatique, a été retenue dans le but de recueillir des données fines concernant les difficultés et points de blocages rencontrés au cours de la consultation. Cette démarche d'évaluation, riche d'enseignement, ouvre à la BPI de nouvelles perspectives en matière de développement et d'évolution de ses interfaces de recherche."

The State of the UI | Open Library - 0 views

  •  
    "The software powering Open Library is centered around a flexible templating system that enables anyone to have control over the organization of their information display. It is designed to be simple to use, to encourage participation, yet powerfully modular through the application of macros and principles of networked interface. In this document, we will review existing technologies, explain concepts, present a framework for discussion and outline a plan to meet those goals for a full site launch in October 2009."

Présentation de Summon | 24 hour library people - 0 views

  •  
    "Contrairement aux moteurs de recherche fédérée, Summon s'appuie sur un index unique, constamment mis à jour, qui contient les méta-données des ressources que propose la bibliothèque, ce qui garantirait un temps de réponse plus court. Concernant l'affichage des résultats, il se fait « selon leur pertinence », sans que l'on puisse savoir sur quoi cette pertinence est basée. Il semble cependant que l'algorithme traite principalement les métadonnées des notices plutôt que celles du texte intégral pour ne pas générer de bruit. Les résultats sont proposés sous la forme d'un affichage à facettes, avec des possibilités pour affiner sa recherche (tri par contenu, par date, par bibliothèque…), et un fil RSS est proposé sur les résultats de la recherche. Summon est construit sur une architecture logicielle « libre » (Lucene). Rien n'est à installer « en dur » localement, tout est hébergé sur les serveurs de SerialsSolutions (Seattle, WA). Summon bénéficie de la puissance de feu de ProQuest-CSA (métadonnées de Ulrich's) et a passé des accords avec de nombreux éditeurs pour proposer aujourd'hui un index riche de plus de 500 millions de documents indexés, provenant de plus de 70 000 périodiques et plus de 100 fournisseurs de contenus dans sa base de connaissance. L'interrogation des bases d'archives ouvertes est possible."

D-Fussion: a semantic SDI service for the research community in digital libraries | Inf... - 0 views

  •  
    "In this paper we propose a multi-agent Selective Dissemination of Information service to improve the research community's access to digital library resources. The service also provides a new recommendation approach to satisfy researchers' specific information requirements." "Semantic Web technologies and fuzzy linguistic modelling provide the means to develop value-added services for digital libraries, which improve users' access to resources of interest to them. Furthermore, the recommendation approach here proposed allows researchers to satisfy specific information needs not covered by traditional recommender systems."

Thoughts on publishers and where the challenge comes… @ eLibrary - 0 views

  •  
    "It is interesting that Summon is built using an open-source product architecture - and ditching the need for a federated search back-end is quite a radical step forward into the cloud. I'm wondering if this is related to their different approach to authentication: both Summon and Metalib seem to be 'authentication agnostic' and could work with a variety of authentication systems: but ExLibris seems to prefer the 'up-front' password challenge as opposed to Serials Solutions who give you it the other way round: metadata first and only authenticate later. Is it harder to integrate authentication, as opposed to searching for content, into an institutional login this way round? I don't yet know as I think it depends what choices we make on identity management. Personally I'm drawn to the 'up-front' approach - even though the simplicity of what Serials Solutions are doing is very attractive, I prefer my password challenges at the beginning - rather than at the end of the process. What about others?"

Summon 'web scale'? I don't think so. | synthesize-specialize-mobilize - 0 views

  •  
    "I don't think its obvious, but what OCLC is trying to do with WorldCat is much bolder than Serials Solutions and Summon. With Summon, libraries are basically throwing all of their content into one index to break down the data silos within an institution. But what you end up with is a big search silo for that institution. With WorldCat, the vision is to break down not only the silos within institutions but also the silos between institutions. And not just break down those silos in the sense of harvest-and-search. The concept is that libraries and their patrons will be working together to improve a shared database through intentional and professional metadata. This shared database will be big enough to have a real impact on the web. Its records will surface in search engine results. Its interface will be familiar to many, and it will be customizable for a particular audience via the WorldCat Local route."
