Purpose of the paper: An overview of principles and procedures involved in creating a faceted classification scheme for use in resource discovery in an online environment. Design/methodology/approach: Facet analysis provides an established scientific methodology for the conceptual organization of a subject field, and the structuring of an associated classification or controlled vocabulary. This...

Evaluating computing systems and classifying them by the security properties they provide is not new [13, 14]. Other researchers [8, 9] have pointed out the difficulty of evaluating security and the apparent binary nature of security given discoveries of system vulnerability. Here, I compare the role of security evaluations with that of cryptographic security parameters, and relate the difficul...

Electronic marketplaces are evolving in both business to business, and business to consumer contexts. Although the initial hype surrounding all types of marketplaces appears to have overstated their short-term impact, established companies across all types of industrial sectors are entering into collaborative, industry-wide initiatives to agree common technical and trading standards to improve ...

The tremendous technological changes today have increased the sophistication of Information Systems (IS) functionality and complexity in IS implementation team dynamics. Many projects now frequently involve not only in-house IT professionals and business users but also consultants and/or vendors as key members in the implementation team. Thus, the traditional IT-business relationship is increas...

In the last few years, Twitter has become a powerful tool for publishing and discussing information. Yet, content exploration in Twitter requires substantial effort. Users often have to scan information streams by hand. In this paper, we approach this problem by means of faceted search. We propose strategies for inferring facets and facet values on Twitter by enriching the semantics of individu...

Faceted search represents one of the most practical ways to browse a large corpus of information. Information is categorized automatically for a given query and the user is given the opportunity to further refine his/her query. Many search engines offer a powerful faceted search engine, but only on the textual level. Faceted Search in the context of Math Search is still unexplored territory. In...

The paper discusses issues related to the use of faceted classifications in an online environment. The author argues that knowledge organization systems can be fully utilized in information retrieval only if they are exposed and made available for machine processing. The experience with classification automation to date may be used to speed up and ease the conversion of existing faceted schemes...

People’s information-seeking can span multiple sessions, and can be collaborative in nature. Existing commercial offerings do not effectively support searchers to share, save, collaborate or revisit their information. In this demo paper we present Querium: a novel session-based collaborative search system that lets users search, share, resume and collaborate with other users. Querium provides a...
