Paper Abstract:
|
The OmniPaper project has implemented three information retrieval prototypes in the area of electronic news publishing. One prototype uses SOAP as communication protocol between the central system and a number of distributed news archives. The second prototype uses an RDF metadata database, enabling direct metadata queries to the central system. Finally the Topic Map prototype uses query expansion and keyword-concept semantic linking for smart metadata search. An important goal of the OmniPaper project has been to compare these different information retrieval methods and prototypes. This paper explains how this comparison has been done using an Automatic Testing Engine. It further shows how user feedback has been used as an additional evaluation method. |
