Paper Abstract:
|
This paper discusses the importance of search engines specialised in providing services to community Webs and presents the case for a search engine for the Portuguese Web community. In addition to a search service optimised for these users, there are other services that can be addressed by such system, including the preservation of publications of historical interest for future access to the community and obtaining knowledge about the preferences and interests of this society in the information age. The paper also introduces the architecture and design of tumba!, a new Internet search engine for the Portuguese Web. Tumba! uses a new repository architecture and implements innovative ranking and presentation algorithms. It is designed to take profit of our unique knowledge of this Web, making it a platform that could work as a testbed for research and evaluation of new ideas in Web information retrieval and computational processing of the Portuguese language. |
