View from Elsevier
NISO Metasearch Initiatives Meeting
May 7, 2003M. Krellenstein
Goals To increase the accessibility and
appropriate utilization of Elsevier content for our customers
To simplify life for our customers
Challenges Access Search mechanisms Branding concerns
Access Would be available at Elsevier-licensed
sites Need to develop appropriate
intermediary authentication mechanisms
Requires identification as authorized robot Need to develop resource descriptions
to guide appropriate searching
Search mechanisms Currently support XML gateway Moving quickly towards Web service model
(SOAP) XQuery-based query language (would contribute) Query ‘wrapper’ for result set metadata All information transferred in XML Elsevier data model plus support for Dublin Core
Need to insure appropriate searching and monitoring of search traffic
Need to handle any unsupported features Need mechanism to handle updates to service Need to understand incremental costs (development,
searches, monitoring, support)
Branding concerns Need appropriate recognition that Elsevier
content is being searched Quality of search reflects on Elsevier
Availability Relevancy of results Performance Appropriate access to advanced features
Quality of result display and result attribution are important
Need fair ranking of results Need fair resolution of duplicates
