Augmenting Digital Library Search Interfaces with Visual Analysis Tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital libraries commonly elide hierarchical metadata that might be used more effectively. This proposal presents the ResultMap concept, a tool that leverages that metadata for digital library search facilities; an initial study of its effectiveness; the concept of applying ResultMaps to faceted metadata, allowing visual detection of implicit correlations between facets; and proposals for further study of ResultMaps in both directed search and faceted browsing environments.

متن کاملAugmenting Faceted Exploration with ResultMaps
ResultMaps are a treemap-based [5] search visualization concept for online digital repositories, designed to leverages hierarchical metadata often already present in digital libraries. We have previously reported our application of ResultMaps to a digital library’s keyword search engine result pages (SERPs) [3]. Here we discuss the use of ResultMaps in the more interesting context of faceted me...
متن کاملMetadata and Metaphors in Visual Interfaces to Digital Libraries
This chapter introduces a new category of digital library user interfaces called metadata-enhanced visual interfaces. Drawing on the earlier information retrieval visual interfaces that have made use of thesauri, this chapter will review and analyze metadata-enhanced visual interfaces to digital libraries based on two key variables, namely metadata elements used for visualization purposes and v...
متن کاملUsing Interactive Search Elements in Digital Libraries
Background and Aim: Interaction in a digital library help users locating and accessing information and also assist them in creating knowledge, better perception, problem solving and recognition of dimension of resources. This paper tries to identify and introduce the components and elements that are used in interaction between user and system in search and retrieval of information in digital li...
