The Problems with Cross-Domain Searching

Searching is almost always about compromises. The kinds of access points that the searcher is expecting may or may not be accurately reflected in the indexing provided by the database server. The searching is most accurate, and the searcher is least surprised, when the searcher and client software have a complete understanding of the schema of the database being searched. The next least surprising environment is when the searcher has no expectations about the database and the server provides the complete document in a single index (e.g. WAIS). This may not be very accurate, but no one is surprised by the results. Anything in between complete understanding and complete ignorance is a compromise and subject to the user being surprised by the results of a search.

Dublin Core™ Application Profile Guidelines

Introduction

A Dublin Core™ Application Profile (DCAP) is a declaration specifying which metadata terms an organization, information provider, or user community uses in its metadata. By definition, a DCAP identifies the source of metadata terms used – whether they have been defined in formally maintained standards such as Dublin Core, in less formally defined element sets and vocabularies, or by the creator of the DCAP itself for local use in an application. Optionally, a DCAP may provide additional documentation on how the terms are constrained, encoded, or interpreted for application-specific purposes.

Element Refinement in Dublin Core™ Metadata

Mon, 13 Jun 2005 00:00:00 +0000

Elements, Properties and Statements

Dublin Core™ elements and element refinements are properties. A property is "a specific aspect, characteristic, attribute, or relation used to describe resources". According to the DCMI Abstract Model, all these "aspects, characteristics, attributes and relations" involve relationships between resources [DCMIAM]. Each property corresponds to a type of relationship, such as the notion that a resource "is created by" an agent (the agent is a second resource), or that a resource "is about the subject of" some concept (the concept is also a resource).
