Data mining, interactive semantic structuring, and collaboration: A diversity-aware method for sense-making in search
Verbeke Mathias, Bettina Berendt and Siegfried Nijssen
In: First International Workshop on Living Web, , collocated with the 8th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC-2009)(2009).
AbstractWe present the Damilicious method and tool which help
users in sense-making of the results of their literature searches on the
Web: on an individual level, by supporting the construction of semantics
of the domain described by their search term, and on the collective
level, by encouraging users to explore and selectively re-use other users’
semantics. We use a combination of clustering, classification and interactivity
to obtain and apply diverse semantics of thematic areas, and
to identify diversity between users. This tool can help users take different
perspectives on search results and thereby reflect more deeply about
resources on the Web and their meaning. In addition, the method can
help to develop quantitative measures of diversity; we propose diversity
of resource groupings and diversity of users as two examples. [Edit]
