"In solving this problem, we propose an enhanced library system, which allows partial, similarity matching of (i) tags defined by ordinary users at a folksonomy site that describe the content of books and (ii) unrestricted keywords specified by an ordinary library patron in a query to search for relevant library catalog records. The proposed library system allows patrons posting a query Q using commonly-used words and ranks the retrieved results according to their degrees of resemblance with Q while maintaining the query processing time comparable with the one achieved by current library search engines." I haven't read the whole thing, but I'm confused by this. Is there some aspect of Koha's tagging function which does not fulfill "( i )" above? Is a full-text search of MARC records (including subject headings, notes, descriptions, etc) not the same as a search of "unrestricted" keywords? This proposal seems to imply a conception of Koha's search function as being limited to subject headings. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
