Abstract

We have created software applications that allow users to both author and use Semantic Web metadata. To create and use a layer of semantic content on top of the existing Web, we have (1) implemented a user interface that expedites the task of attributing metadata to resources on the Web, and (2) augmented a Web browser to leverage this semantic metadata to provide relevant information and tasks to the user. This project provides a framework for annotating and reorganizing existing files, pages, and sites on the Web that is similar to Vannevar Bushrsquos original concepts of trail blazing and associative indexing.

Abstract

The study reported here investigated the query expansion behavior of end-users interacting with a thesaurus-enhanced search system on the Web. Two groups, namely academic staff and postgraduate students, were recruited into this study. Data were collected from 90 searches performed by 30 users using the OVID interface to the CAB abstracts database. Data-gathering techniques included questionnaires, screen capturing software, and interviews. The results presented here relate to issues of search-topic and search-term characteristics, number and types of expanded queries, usefulness of thesaurus terms, and behavioral differences between academic staff and postgraduate students in their interaction. The key conclusions drawn were that (a) academic staff chose more narrow and synonymous terms than did postgraduate students, who generally selected broader and related terms; (b) topic complexity affected users' interaction with the thesaurus in that complex topics required more query expansion and search term selection; (c) users' prior topic-search experience appeared to have a significant effect on their selection and evaluation of thesaurus terms; (d) in 50% of the searches where additional terms were suggested from the thesaurus, users stated that they had not been aware of the terms at the beginning of the search; this observation was particularly noticeable in the case of postgraduate students.

Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of information discovery in large collections of text. For users, one of the key problems in working with such collections is determining where to focus their attention. In selecting documents for examination, users must be able to formulate reasonably precise queries. Queries that are too broad will greatly reduce the efficiency of information discovery efforts by overwhelming the users with peripheral information. In order to formulate efficient queries, a mechanism is needed to automatically alert users regarding potentially interesting information contained within the collection. This paper presents the results of an experiment designed to test one approach to generation of such alerts. The technique of latent semantic indexing (LSI) is used to identify relationships among entities of interest. Entity extraction software is used to pre-process the text of the collection so that the LSI space contains representation vectors for named entities in addition to those for individual terms. In the LSI space, the cosine of the angle between the representation vectors for two entities captures important information regarding the degree of association of those two entities. For appropriate choices of entities, determining the entity pairs with the highest mutual cosine values yields valuable information regarding the contents of the text collection. The test database used for the experiment consists of 150,000 news articles. The proposed approach for alert generation is tested using a counterterrorism analysis example. The approach is shown to have significant potential for aiding users in rapidly focusing on information of potential importance in large text collections. The approach also has value in identifying possible use of aliases.

Abstract

With RetrievalWare 8.0(TM) the American company Convera offers an elaborated software in the range of Information Retrieval, Information Indexing and Knowledge Management. Convera promises the possibility of handling different file formats in many different languages. Regarding comparable products one innovation is to be stressed particularly: the possibility of the preparation as well as integration of an ontology. One tool of the software package is useful in order to produce ontologies manually, to process existing ontologies and to import the very. The processing of search results is also to be mentioned. By means of categorization strategies search results can be classified dynamically and presented in personalized representations. This study presents an evaluation of the functions and components of the system. Technological aspects and modes of operation under the surface of Convera RetrievalWare will be analysed, with a focus on the creation of libraries and thesauri, and the problems posed by the integration of an existing thesaurus. Broader aspects such as usability and system ergonomics are integrated in the examination as well.

Abstract

Der Hersteller von Bibliothekssoftware BOND erweitert sein Produktangebot um eine innovative Neuheit, den Assoziativ-OPAC SpiderSearch. Dieser graphische Web-OPAC sucht zu einem Stichwort Assoziative, d.h. sinn- oder sprachwissenschaftlich verwandte Begriffe. Diese baut er spinnennetzartig um den zentralen Suchbegriff herum auf. Anhand der ihm angebotenen Assoziative kann sich der Leser sehr einfach und anschaulich durch den Medienbestand der Bibliothek klicken. So findet er schnell und komfortabel relevante Medien, die mit herkömmlichen Suchverfahren nur schwer recherchierbar wären. Mühsame Überlegungen über verwandte Suchbegriffe und angrenzende Themengebiete bleiben dem Benutzer erspart. Dies übernimmt SpiderSearch und navigiert den Benutzer ähnlich wie beim Surfen durch Webseiten durch sämtliche Themen, die mit dem Suchbegriff in Zusammenhang stehen. Auch aufwändiges Durchblättern einer riesigen Suchergebnisliste ist nicht nötig. Durch die im semantischen Netz vorgeschlagenen Begriffe, kann der Benutzer sein Thema genau eingrenzen und erhält in seiner Trefferliste nur passende Medien. Diese ordnet SpiderSearch nach ihrer Relevanz, so dass der Leser die benötigte Literatur einfach und komfortabel findet. Wie auch im normalen Web-OPAC enthält die Trefferliste Angaben zu Titel, Standort und Verfügbarkeit des Mediums. Zur einfachen Zuordnung der Medienart ist jedem Medium ein entsprechendes Symbol zugewiesen. Per Mausklick erhält der Benutzer Detailangaben zum Medium und optional eine Ansicht des Buchcovers. SpiderSearch ist ein Zusatzmodul zur Software BIBLIOTHECA2000 von BOND und setzt auf den Web-OPAL auf. Vor allem bei Öffentlichen Bibliotheken stößt SpiderSearch auf großes Interesse. Erste Anwender bieten Ihren Lesern bereits dieses neue Sucherlebnis.

"Der Hersteller von Bibliothekssoftware BOND erweitert sein Produktangebot um den Assoziativ-OPAC SpiderSearch. Dieser graphische Web-OPAC sucht zu einem Stichwort Assoziative, d.h. sinnoder sprachwissenschaftlich verwandte Begriffe. Diese baut er spinnennetzartig um den zentralen Suchbegriff herum auf. Anhand der ihm angebotenen Assoziative kann sich der Leser sehr einfach und anschaulich durch den Medienbestand der Bibliothek klicken. So findet er schnell und komfortabel relevante Medien, die mit herkömmlichen Suchverfahren nur schwer recherchierbar wären. Überlegungen über verwandte Suchbegriffe und angrenzende Themengebiete bleiben dem Benutzer erspart: SpiderSearch navigiert den Benutzer ähnlich wie beim Surfen durch Webseiten durch sämtliche Themen, die mit dem Suchbegriff in Zusammenhang stehen. Auch aufwändiges Durchblättern einer riesigen Suchergebnisliste ist nicht nötig. Durch die im semantischen Netz vorgeschlagenen Begriffe kann der Benutzer sein Thema genau eingrenzen und erhält in seiner Trefferliste nur passende Medien. Diese ordnet SpiderSearch nach ihrer Relevanz, so dass der Leser die benötigte Literatur einfach und komfortabel findet. Wie auch im normalen Web-OPAC enthält die Trefferliste Angaben zu Titel, Standort und Verfügbarkeit des Mediums. Zur einfachen Zuordnung der Medienart ist jedem Medium ein entsprechendes Symbol zugewiesen. Per Mausklick erhält der Benutzer Detailangaben zum Medium und optional eine Ansicht des Buchcovers. SpiderSearch ist ein Zusatzmodul zur Software BIBLIOTHECA2000 von BOND und setzt auf den Web-OPAC auf."

Abstract

This study examined the success and information seeking behaviors of seventh-grade science students and graduate students in information science in using Yahooligans! Web search engine/directory. It investigated these users' cognitive, affective, and physical behaviors as they sought the answer for a fact-finding task. It analyzed and compared the overall patterns of children's and graduate students' Web activities, including searching moves, browsing moves, backtracking moves, looping moves, screen scrolling, target location and deviation moves, and the time they took to complete the task. The authors applied Bilal's Web Traversal Measure to quantify these users' effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of moves they made. Results were based on 14 children's Web sessions and nine graduate students' sessions. Both groups' Web activities were captured online using Lotus ScreenCam, a software package that records and replays online activities in Web browsers. Children's affective states were captured via exit interviews. Graduate students' affective states were extracted from the journal writings they kept during the traversal process. The study findings reveal that 89% of the graduate students found the correct answer to the search task as opposed to 50% of the children. Based on the Measure, graduate students' weighted effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of the Web moves they made were much higher than those of the children. Regardless of success and weighted scores, however, similarities and differences in information seeking were found between the two groups. Yahooligans! poor structure of keyword searching was a major factor that contributed to the "breakdowns" children and graduate students experienced. Unlike children, graduate students were able to recover from "breakdowns" quickly and effectively. Three main factors influenced these users' performance: ability to recover from "breakdowns", navigational style, and focus on task. Children and graduate students made recommendations for improving Yahooligans! interface design. Implications for Web user training and system design improvements are made.
