  1. UK Institutional Repository Search:a collaborative project to showcase UK research output through advanced discovery and retrieval facilitieswww.intute.ac.uk/irs Vic Lyte Sophia Jones PKP Conference, Vancouver, BC Canada, 9 July 2009

  2. Project composition PKP Conference, Vancouver, BC Canada, 9 July 2009

  3. Knowledge Challenge for UK Research Vast and constantly expanding range of bibliographic information stores Open access repository movement – research / e-learning assets Uncharted ‘supplementary data’ Unconnected islands of discovery and innovation PKP Conference, Vancouver, BC Canada, 9 July 2009

  4. Discovery to Innovation – the researcher Initial literature review can take months Information overload Qualitative research poorly supported Can’t expose relationships between information Managing discovery relationships within a research team PKP Conference, Vancouver, BC Canada, 9 July 2009

  5. Knowledge Context • Researcher Knowledge Context • What do I want to know? • What do I not know? • Where can I find…? • What can help me? • Who can help me? Simple Search Full-text Search Subject Classification Automated clustering Concept matching Search Discovery Meaning-based computing Content Context PKP Conference, Vancouver, BC Canada, 9 July 2009

  6. UK IRS: Aims • Identify, develop and support high-value research knowledge communities within a search and discovery process • Encourage the embedding of repository search in familiar and day-to-day research desktop environments • Showcase the collective and collaborative UK research output and perspectives in Institutional Repositories • Deliver free targeted search and discovery facilities derived from UK HEI Institutional Repositories to support researchers and academics • Provide improved services to individuals including directed browse and dynamic navigation • Provide a richer more meaningful contextual search facility including full-text searching, text mining and other techniques PKP Conference, Vancouver, BC Canada, 9 July 2009

  7. Solution: www.intute.ac.uk/irs Searches over 95 repositories and over 500K artefacts Conceptual Search Text mining based search PKP Conference, Vancouver, BC Canada, 9 July 2009

  8. Conceptual Search: Uses Autonomy IDOL software to drive contextually related content, people and communities into virtual learning & research spaces Text Mining Search: Uses TerMine technology by NaCTeM, to find relevant results by clicking on the most important concepts and groups similar documents conceptually Focussed and relevant search and discovery PKP Conference, Vancouver, BC Canada, 9 July 2009
