Spring 2006 DLF Forum: Melvyl Recommender Project, 18
3 April, 2006
Outline
●Text-based
discovery system
●User
interface strategies
●Spelling correction
●Enhanced relevance ranking
●Recommending
The current Melvyl
system orders records LIFO....more recently catalogued items come to the
top.Not terribly useful for very
large result sets, which are common.
Interested in
ranking by relevance based on the content of records, which has been applied
successfully in many other settings.Will it work here, on bibliographic records?
Second, interested
in considering whether additional “intentional data”....circulation,
holdings...could provide even better results from the perspective of an
academic user.
