SEARCHY: A metasearch engine for heterogeneous sources in distributed environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a federated solution to the problem of resource searching across several organisations. It is a cooperative distributed multiagent system that locates and semantically integrates the access to heterogeneous distributed data sources, using Dublin Core as the metadata model.

Information Integration in Searchy: An Ontology and Web Services Based Approach
Organisations need from heterogeneous information systems to deal with the complexity of information management. The result is the creation of isolated views of the information and therefore an inherent difficulty to obtain a global view. Being able to provide such an unified and global view of the -likely heterogeneusinformation available in an organisation is a goal that provides added-value ...
متن کاملArchitectural Design of WebScales - A Large-Scale Metasearch Engine
It is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of information sources on the Web, including both the Surface Web and the Deep Web. Most of these sources have their own search capabilities. In order to alleviate ordinary users from the formidable task of identifying useful sources and search them individually, it is important to provide a unified access to these sources. Metasearch engine ...
متن کاملHistorical Background
Definition Metasearch is to utilize multiple other search systems (called component search systems) to perform simultaneous search. A metasearch engine is a search system that enables metasearch. To perform a basic metasearch, a user query is sent to multiple existing search engines by the metasearch engine; when the search results returned from the search engines are received by the metasearch...

Hadoop MapReduce framework is an important distributed processing model for large-scale data intensive applications. The current Hadoop and the existing Hadoop distributed file system’s rack-aware data placement strategy in MapReduce in the homogeneous Hadoop cluster assume that each node in a cluster has the same computing capacity and a same workload is assigned to each node. Default Hadoop d...
متن کاملMetasearch and Federation using Query Difficulty Prediction
Fusing the results of a distributed Information Retrieval system has often been viewed as two separate problems: metasearch, where several search engines are retrieving from one document collection, and federation, where one search engine is retrieving from several document collections. In this work we present a unified framework for fusion based on predicting query difficulty. We validate our ...
