MetaCombine Findings
•Clustering and classification tools still need refining,
but are beginning to be genuinely
useful for portal functions
provided you invest in required expertise
•Different groups of scholars want to rank and present results according to different criteria, especially when
in a metasearch context
where information from different
“realms” is being retrieved
•Loosely coupled DL frameworks can be useful for metadata remediation and enhancement, but need standards for exchanging information consistently
