Aiding Research and Electronic Content Discovery through Meta-search based on Open Source Initiatives
(INFLIBNET Center., 2009-02-25) D’mello, Collin; Jha, Amit
The goal of electronic content discovery with Metasearching is to investigate issues related to locating, retrieving, and promulgating information in large networked environments. The Internet and WWW provide a challenging environment for deployment of these services. The needs of information publishers - to maximize audience reach - and the user - to minimize information overload - require advanced technical solutions and investigative research. As the deep web of information grows at an exponential rate, efforts to make the technology more manageable and affordable are highly in demand. Applying advanced information retrieval techniques i.e. meta-search and open link resolver are some approach to such efforts. In this paper we present our attempt to apply open source initiatives for retrieval model based on NISO Standards, relevance mechanisms and a meta search technique as an integrated electronic resource discovery system for the Deep Web. This paper discusses challenges and issues involved in Meta-Searching, as well as practical issues such as retrieval effectiveness, usability and scalability.
An Approach for Generic Information Query Retrieval in Web2.0
(INFLIBNET Center, 2009-02-25) Thippeswamy, K; Hanumanthappa, J; Manjaiah, D H
With the growing amount of information in various domains, retrieval and analysis is the most frequently used operation. Various institutions/organizations generate valuable information in various domains which is queried and analyzed by users for various purposes. Most of the applications performing these tasks are predominantly database driven and tightly coupled with the system. This limits the possibilities of seamless database integration with other sources of knowledge and also their ability to adopt to changes in the information structures. We describe a generic approach comprising a loosely coupled system with an ability to perform complex querying, analysis and seamless integration with other systems, both off line and over Internet.

Collaborative content, created with web2.0 technologies, is part of the social computing phenomenon. The key feature of collaborative content is that it is created, reviewed, refined, enhanced and shared by interactions and contributions of a number of people. This paper focuses on collaborative Web content development in two broad areas. The features are illustrated by a few relevant case studies.
