Abstract:

Not all library content can be exposed as HTML pages for harvesting by search engines such as Google and Yahoo!. If a library instead exposes its content through a local search interface, that content can then be found by users of metasearch engines such as A9 and Vivísimo. The functionality provided by the local search engine will affect the functionality of the metasearch engine and the findability of the library’s content. This paper describes that situation and some emerging standards in the metasearch arena that choose different balance points between functionality and ease of implementation.

Abstract:

Metasearch engine is a system that provides unified access to multiple existing search engines. After the results returned from all used component search engines are collected, the metasearch system merges the results into a single ranked list which is expected to be better than the results of the best of the participating search systems. The success of a metasearch engine depends mainly on their rank aggregation method. The system is a better one, if the aggregated list of results displayed before the user satisfies the user with his information need. In this paper, we discuss the development of a metasearch engine that performs user feedback based metasearching using modified rough set based aggregation. Metasearching using the modified rough set based aggregation is performed in two phases namely the ranking rule learning phase and the rank aggregation phase. For each query in the training set, we mine the ranking rules and select the best rules-set by performing cross-validation test. Once the system is trained, we use the best rule set to get the overall ranking for the results returned from different search systems in response to other queries. We also present few snapshots of our system.

Abstract:

AbstractSeveral users use metasearch engines directly or indirectly to access and gather data from more than one data source. The effectiveness of a metasearch engine is majorly determined by the quality of the results it returns in response to user queries. The rank aggregation methods that have been proposed until now exploit a very limited set of parameters, such as total number of used resources and the rankings they achieved from each individual resource. In this paper, we use the fuzzy-bat to merge the score computation module effectively. Initially, we give a query to different search engines we use and the topnlist from each search engine is chosen for further processing our technique. We then merge the topnlist based on unique links, and we do some parameter calculations such as title-based calculation, snippet-based calculation, content-based calculation, address-based calculation, link-based calculation, uniform resource locator-based calculation, and co-occurrence-based calculation. We give the solutions of the calculations with the user given the ranking of links to the fuzzy-bat to train the system. The system then ranks and merges the links we obtain from different search engines for the query we give.

Abstract:

As the amount of data is growing day by day, the sources for these data are also growing simultaneously and to search through this very data, we need the use of search engines. Since each search engine is limited to its confined set of data, it would be even better to make use of a Meta search engine which will give us more relevant results than the ones obtained from any single search engine. It acts as an interface that provides the user with a single view from the various underlying search engines. The data is collected from these underlying search engines after they are accessed with the processed query from the Meta search engine. The collected data is merged using an algorithm and the algorithm will be a major factor in giving the best possible results. In this paper, we are going to discuss about the various existing metasearch engines and the different merging techniques and their approaches.

Abstract:

The text consists of two parts. The first analyzed the internet search techniques – in a general heuristic sense and detailed i.e. specific techniques belonging to the family of query languages – so called operators (logical operators, localization operators, operators for communication channels in social media, chronometric operators, search operators in the content of the www and search operators for specific types of content). Their main function is to clarify search queries. The second part of the text contains a review and analysis of selected internet exploration tools – search engines (global search engines, search engines focusing on user privacy, metasearch engines and multisearch engines, regional search engines and catalogues, people search engines, search engines of gray literature and internet archives). Preview is not exhaustive or deepened, it serves rather the initial orientation of those interested in the search engine universe.

Abstract:

While users benefit greatly from the latest communication technology, with popular platforms such as social networking services including Facebook or search engines such as Google, scientists warn of the effects of a filter bubble at this time. A solution to escape from filtered information is urgently needed. We implement an approach based on the mechanism of a metasearch engine to present less-filtered information to users. We develop a practical application named MosaicSearch to select search results from diversified categories of sources collected from multiple search engines. To determine the power of MosaicSearch, we conduct an evaluation to assess retrieval quality. According to the results, MosaicSearch is more intelligent compared to other general-purpose search engines: it generates a smaller number of links while providing users with almost the same amount of objective information. Our approach contributes to transparent information retrieval. This application helps users play a main role in choosing the information they consume.

Abstract:

Within the most productive route, online travel agencies (OTAs) intend to use advanced digital media ads to expand their piece of the industry as a whole. The metasearch engine platforms are among the most consistently used digital media environments by OTAs. Most OTAs offer day by day deals in metasearch engine platforms that are paying per click for each hotel to get reservations. The administration of offering methodologies is critical along these lines to reduce costs and increase revenue for online travel agencies. In this study, we tried to predict both the number of impressions and the regular Click-Through-Rate (CTR) level of hotel advertising for each hotel and the daily sales amount. A significant commitment of our research is to use an extended dataset generated by integrating the most informative features implemented in various related studies as the rolling average for a different amount of day and shifted values for use in the proposed test stage for CTR, impression and sales prediction. The data is created in this study by one of Turkey’s largest OTA, and we are giving OTA’s a genuine application. The results at each prediction stage show that enriching the training data with the OTA-specific additional features, which are the most insightful and sliding window techniques, improves the prediction models ’ generalization capability, and tree-based boosting algorithms carry out the greatest results on this problem. Clustering the dataset according to its specifications also improves the results of the predictions.

Abstract:

The paper considers Maltego metasearch system, which is widely used for collecting data from open sources and automatically building relationships between various objects. The main characteristics and the algorithm of the Shodan search engine was studied, and also the fundamental difference between this system and traditional search engines was explained. The Shodan platform indexes information that is collected from response banners of devices which are connected to the internet, while Google, Yandex and similar services index only the content of websites. Based on the studied materials, an extension of the Maltego functionality was developed using the Canari framework and the Python programming language. This approach allows to combine the main advantages of the considered systems: a rich set of graphical tools of Maltego and a large open database of the Shodan system. The proposed option also allows to configure the system to fit any unique requirements that information security specialists need to conduct a security audit of information systems.

Abstract:

This study evaluated the usability of a metasearch, or federated search, interface used by the University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions. The authors conducted usability testing of the metasearch system to understand student perceptions of metasearch’s usefulness and to learn if students could effectively complete research tasks using metasearch. Students determined when they had successfully completed the task. The study found that students perceived metasearch to be a useful tool but that they had low rates of success in completing some tasks. Technical limitations and interface design problems contributed to their difficulties. Students expected to be able to construct searches as they do in Internet search engines and, for example, expected results lists to have relevancy ranking and more descriptive information.

Abstract:

The present paper aims to provide a brief review of the potentiality and economic feasibility of the Stirling engine as a distributed generation source and cogeneration technology. Another objective was the determination of hindrances which may be preventing the feasibility of the Stirling technology. With these intentions, a research based on a combination of preselected keywords was performed at the Metasearch of CAPES (Brazil's Higher Education Coordination of Personnel Perfecting). No filters in relation to the research period or to particular geographical regions were employed, thus publications until 2017’s middle were included and the research was conducted on a global level. Next, the selection of papers which contained some of the keywords was made, consisting initially of the read of the publications’ abstracts. The remaining ones were then further explored and had their relevant information incorporated, according to the scope of this work. It is worth mentioning that other accredited sources which dealt with important aspects of the topic were also included. Furthermore, a table containing some examples of products concerning the application of the Stirling engine as a distributed generation and cogeneration technology is presented. Ultimately, it is concluded that the Stirling technology, despite its advantages and suitability regarding the proposed applications, is not yet commercially feasible, having currently only a minor presence in the market. This scenario can be attributed to the need for further research and technical development as well as cost reduction.

Abstract:

There are many applications in which it is desirable to order rather than classify instances. Here we consider the problem of learning how to order instances given feedback in the form of preference judgments, i.e., statements to the effect that one instance should be ranked ahead of another. We outline a two-stage approach in which one first learns by conventional means a binary preference function indicating whether it is advisable to rank one instance before another. Here we consider an on-line algorithm for learning preference functions that is based on Freund and Schapire's 'Hedge' algorithm. In the second stage, new instances are ordered so as to maximize agreement with the learned preference function. We show that the problem of finding the ordering that agrees best with a learned preference function is NP-complete. Nevertheless, we describe simple greedy algorithms that are guaranteed to find a good approximation. Finally, we show how metasearch can be formulated as an ordering problem, and present experimental results on learning a combination of 'search experts', each of which is a domain-specific query expansion strategy for a web search engine.

Abstract:

Belle II is a rapidly growing collaboration with members from one hundred and nineteen institutes spread around the globe. The software development team of the experiment, as well as the software users, are very much decentralised. Together with the active development of the software, such decentralisation makes the adoption of the latest software releases by users an essential, but quite challenging task. To ensure the relevance of the documentation, we adopted the policy of in-code documentation and configured a website that allows us to tie the documentation to given releases. To prevent tutorials from becoming outdated, we covered them by unit-tests. For the user support, we use a question and answer service that not only reduces repetition of the same questions but also turned out to be a place for discussions among the experts. A prototype of a metasearch engine for the different sources of documentation has been developed. For training of the new users, we organise centralised StarterKit workshops attached to the collaboration meetings. The materials of the workshops are later used for self-education and organisation of local training sessions.

Abstract:

Objective: This research aims to analyze the available spe-cialized literature concerning the association between Herpesviruses [Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein Barr virus (EBV), Herpes Simplex virus (HSV)] and chronic periodontitis to clarify the possible role of these microorganisms in the progression and severity of the disease. Materials and Methods: A search for scientific articles was carried out in March 2019 in the main metasearch engines: PubMed /MEDLINE, SciELO, EBSCO, and the Trip search engine, to select articles according to the exclusion and inclusion criteria. The analysis of the articles was carried out through a data matrix expressed in frequency tables using descriptive statistics with measures of central tendency, dispersion, and correlation. Results: The results of this study show that the presence of CMV, EBV, and HSV in patients with chronic periodontitis is related to an increase in clinical parameters such as probing pocket depth (PD), clinical insertion loss (CIL) and bleeding on probing (BOP), in 96%, 60% and 40% of the studies, respectively, for HCMV; 96.55% (PD), 51.72% (CIL), and 48.28% (BOP) for EBV, and 80% (PD), 90% (CIL), and 60% (BOP) for HSV. The average prevalence of EBV, HCMV, and HSV was 46.3%, 35.4%, and 40.1%, respectively. Conclusions: EBV, CMV, and HSV could be associated with the progression and severity of periodontal disease as they are related to a greater probing depth, greater clinical insertion loss, and greater bleeding on probing. EBV presented a higher prevalence in the reviewed literature. More clinical studies are needed to verify a direct relationship between EBV, HSV, CMV, and periodontal disease, to confirm the trends observed in this work.

Abstract:

Problems associated with the improve ment of information retrieval for open environment are considered and the need for it’s semantization is grounded. Thecurrent state and prospects of development of semantic search engines that are focused on the Web information resources processing are analysed, the criteria for the classification of such systems are reviewed. In this analysis the significant attention is paid to the semantic search use of ontologies that contain knowledge about the subject area and the search users. The sources of ontological knowledge and methods of their processing for the improvement of the search procedures are considered. Examples of semantic search systems that use structured query languages (eg, SPARQL), lists of keywords and queries in natural language are proposed. Such criteria for the classification of semantic search engines like architecture, coupling, transparency, user context, modification requests, ontology structure, etc. are considered. Different ways of support of semantic and otology based modification of user queries that improve the completeness and accuracy of the search are analyzed. On base of analysis of the properties of existing semantic search engines in terms of these criteria, the areas for further improvement of these systems are selected: the development of metasearch systems, semantic modification of user requests, the determination of an user-acceptable transparency level of the search procedures, flexibility of domain knowledge management tools, increasing productivity and scalability. In addition, the development of means of semantic Web search needs in use of some external knowledge base which contains knowledge about the domain of user information needs, and in providing the users with the ability to independent selection of knowledge that is used in the search process. There is necessary to take into account the history of user interaction with the retrieval system and the search context for personalization of the query results and their ordering in accordance with the user information needs. All these aspects were taken into account in the design and implementation of semantic search engine "MAIPS" that is based on an ontological model of users and resources cooperation into the Web.

Abstract:

Social choice theory is the study of decision theory on how to aggregate separate preferences into group's rational preference. It has wide applications, especially on the design of voting rules, and brings far-reaching influence on the development of modern political science and welfare economics. With the advent of the information age, social choice theory finds its up-to-date application on designing effective Metasearch engines. Metasearch engines provide effective searching by combining the results of multiple source search engines that make use of diverse models and techniques. In this work, we analyze social choice algorithms in a graph-theoretic approach. In addition to classical social choice algorithms, such as Borda and Condorcet, we study one special type of social choice algorithms, elimination voting, to tackle Metasearch problem. Some new algorithms are proposed and examined in the fusion experiment on TREC data. It shows that these elimination voting algorithms achieve satisfied performance when compared with Borda algorithm.

Abstract:

Purpose The subject of this paper is the application of holograms in cultural institutions. The purpose of this paper is to define the potential areas of hologram use in libraries, particularly in education and promotion, and also in services. Design/methodology/approach The method of analysis and criticism of literature was used. Based on a search conducted through Google Scholar for the 2006-2016 period, the current state of research on the use of holograms in cultural institutions was established. Subsequently, in order to find examples of hologram use in libraries, museums, galleries, and social organizations, an established set of queries was used to systematically search network resources using global search engines and metasearch engines. The initial list of results was narrowed down to the most relevant. On the basis of the above fact, the main areas of hologram use in cultural institutions were defined and examples of best practices were selected according to chosen criteria. The comparative method then was used to determine potential areas of application of holographic techniques in libraries. Finally, SWOT analysis – the situational analysis method known to management sciences – was used to determine opportunities and threats related to the use of holograms in cultural institutions. Findings Holograms have broad potential use in libraries that is even broader than initially assumed because they are not limited to education, promotion and services, and can also be used in documentation, research and exhibitions. The use of holograms can bring many benefits, but it is also associated with certain risks that need to be considered. Practical implications The results can be widely used in practice as a framework for the implementation of holographic techniques in libraries. Social implications The paper can help initiate debate on the opportunities and risks of using holograms in cultural institutions. Originality/value The issue of the use of holograms has not yet been widely discussed in library and information science scientific journals.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the remarkable trend of multisided platforms (MSPs) in the travel industry with the help of which travel agencies (TAs) and global distribution systems (GDSs) can reinforce their intermediary roles. Orthodox TAs face the threats of disintermediation because of the ever faster-changing developments in information and communication technologies, such as the emergence of metasearch engines, online travel agencies, direct bookings on airline websites and the widespread of mobile applications for travel related bookings. GDSs face similar threats of disintermediation from low-cost carriers and legacy carriers, as these carriers promote and encourage direct bookings via their official websites or via the new distribution capability. Design/methodology/approach This is a casestudy-oriented research, and the case selected is a MSP based in Turkey. The data are gathered using semi-structured interviews conducted from 15 international representatives of this MSP in different countries. Interviews were conducted either physically at the MSP’s headquarters in Antalya, Turkey, or virtually using Zoom application from January to October 2019. Findings The paper portrays the significance of MSPs in terms of their contributions toward the reintermediation of the two important intermediaries, namely, TAs and GDSs in the travel industry supply chain. Both of them are prone to the dangers of disintermediation because of the developments in technology, networking and communication channels; the worldwide accessibility of the stakeholders to the internet; and the direct reach of suppliers to consumers. The deteriorating role of TAs and GDSs is reignited by the successful launch, deployment and adoption of MSPs in the ecosystem of the travel industry. Originality/value This paper offers an insight into the prevailing trend of MSPs in business to business (B2B) trading from the perspective of two main intermediaries, TAs and GDSs, in the supply chain of the travel industry. The paper in a novel way compiles the data from the interviews to shed light on the adoption of MSPs by intermediaries in their business models to reintermediate themselves because the sole reliance of intermediaries on orthodox business models is pushing them on to the verge of disintermediation.

Abstract:

Paper The goal of search engines is to return accurate and complete results. Satisfying concrete user information needs becomes more and more difficult because of inability in it complete explicit specification and short comes of keyword-based searching and indexing. General search engines have indexed millions of web resources and often return thousands of results to the user query (most of them often inadequate). To increase result’s precession, users sometimes choose search engines, specialized in searching concrete domain, personalized or semantic search. A grand variety of specialized search engines may be found (and used) in the internet, but no one may guarantee finding of existing in the web and needed for the concrete user resources. In this paper we present our research on building a meta-search engine that uses domain and user profile ontologies, as well as information (or metadata), directly extracted from web sites to improve search result quality. We state main requirements to the search engine for students, PHD students and scientists, propose a conceptual model and discuss approaches of it practical realization. Our prototype metasearch engine first perform interactive semantic query refinement and then, using refined query, it automatically generate several search queries, sends them to different digital libraries and web search engines, augments and ranks returned results, using ontologically represented domain and user metadata. For testing our model, we develop domain ontologies in the electronic domain. We will use ontological terminology representation to propose recommendations for query disambiguation, and to ensure knowledge for reranking the returned results. We also present some partial initial implementations query disambiguation strategies and testing results.

Abstract:

The Missing Pieces tool visualizes the overlap of search engine results including those generated by the metasearch engine, Dogpile. The major research question is: how well can users interact with and interpret the circular metasearch results display? This study has interesting implications for the use of visualization for presenting information in a web metasearch environment.L’outil “Missing Pieces” visualise le chevauchement des résultats des moteurs de recherche incluant ceux générés par le métamoteur Dogpile. La principale question de recherche est : de quelle manière les utilisateurs peuvent bien utiliser et interpréter l’affichage des résultats des métamoteurs circulaires ? Cette étude met en relief des implications intéressantes pour l’utilisation de la visualisation pour la présentation de l’information dans un environnement de métarecherche web.

Abstract:

The recent arrival of the metasearch as a distribution channel within the hotel industry has the potential to provide hotels less dependency on online travel agencies. Metasearch engines display different reservation options for the same hotel in the same interface, which might include online travel agencies and the official hotel website, establishing an apparent level playing field. In this context, it remains unclear if there will be a presentation-order effect of the different options when price and cancellation policy are the same due to two reasons. First, hotels compete against popular and trustworthy online travel agencies. Second, the minimalist and functional design of metasearch platforms might help consumers differentiate among the options, possibly impacting the decision-making process. Accordingly, the present study aims at investigating the relationship between a hotel's site position and a higher click-through rate in a metasearch whilst competing directly and on the same page with a well-known online travel agency. To this end, an experiment was conducted in which participants had to finish the booking process for a given hotel on a major metasearch engine, where they could choose between the hotel's official site and a leading online travel agency. The main finding implies that occupying the top position increases the click-through rate for unknown hotels, whilst hotels associated with well-known chains are not subject to this effect.

Abstract:

Introduction: Prostate cancer patients are using more web resources to inform themselves about their cancer. However, patients may receive out-of-date or inaccurate information due to lack of regulation. The current study looks to systematically analyze the quality of websites accessed by patients with prostate cancer.Methods: The term “prostate cancer” was searched in Google and the metasearch engines, Yippy and Dogpile, and the top 100 hits related to patient information were compiled from over 32 million hits. A standardized tool was used to examine 100 sites with respect to attribution, currency, usability, and content.Results: Of the top 100 websites relating to prostate cancer information, only 27% identified an author, of which 16% had their credentials displayed. The majority of websites disclosed ownership (97%). Over half of the websites did not include the date of the last update and of those that did, only 66% were current within two years. According to the Flesch Kincaid grade level tool for readability, the majority (87%) of sites were found to be at a high school level, while 6% were at university level. Finally, content varied among websites; 90% of sites provided information on detection and workup and treatments, but only 14% of sites included information on prognosis.Conclusions: The reliability of websites presenting prostate cancer information is questionable. There were noted deficiencies in attribution, currency, and readability. While information on detection and treatment is well-covered, information related to prognosis is lacking.
