Search

The first step to handle semantic heterogeneity should be the attempt to enrich the semantic information about documents, i.e. to fill up the gaps in the documents meta-data automatically. Section 2 describes a set of cascading deductive and heuristic extraction rules, which were developed in the project CARMEN for the domain of Social Sciences. The mapping between different terminologies can be done by using intellectual, statistical and/or neural network transfer modules. Intellectual transfers use cross-concordances between different classification schemes or thesauri. Section 3 describes the creation, storage and handling of such transfers., Comment: Technical Report (Arbeitsbericht) GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences

The working paper focuses on a possible integration of the Dreiländerkatalog (DLK), which stands prototypically for non-subject-specific library catalogs (here called general library access) into the interdisciplinary science portal vascoda. The report discusses internal design variants of vascoda, which illustrate basic considerations for general library access. Section 2 deals with proposals for an extension of the search typology in vascoda. Neither from the literature review nor from internal discussions regarding the content integration or the introduction of search engine technology could a change of the fundamental concept of vascoda (subject-oriented searching) be derived.
