Sharing Searches: Developing Open Support for Collaborative Searching
James Walkerdine, Tom A. Rodden · Lancaster EPrints (Lancaster University) · 2001
This paper describes a system to encourage and manage collaborative searching, with a particular focus on query management.The model proposed in this paper attempts to raise the importance of the search, treating it as an information resource it its own right.This in turn allows the development of cooperative mechanisms that can be used to manipulate and manage the searches in a manner similar to that which exists for other information resources.This paper discusses the general approach to querying before moving on to describe the developed query management model and supporting system.Finally the on going evaluations of the system are discussed.
