  3. federated searching • Distributed search approach ~ Z39.50, SDLIP, ... • today: MetaLib • commercial product by Ex Libris • searches repositories using “whichever” technique • normalizes results before presenting them to the user • can merge results after initial presentation • Harvesting approach ~ OAI • today: ARC, the first OAI service provider

  4. MetaLib • Goal: Unique, consistent interface across library resources (think Google for library collection) • Broadcastsearching over a large collection of heterogeneous resources: • Different metadata syntax (MARC, EAD, Dublin Core, TEI, unspecified, ...) • Different protocols (Z39.50, HTTP, native ALEPH, screen scraping) • Linking via integrated SFX server • User personalization • Administration of resources

  5. Application Level: Technology Level: Information Gateway Universal Gateway User Admin Resources’ administering Accurate, target-sensitive searching Customized, personalized services Context-sensitive linking

  6. Universal Gateway Information Gateway User Admin Resources’ administering Accurate, target-sensitive searching Customized, personalized services Context-sensitive linking

  7. C o l l e c t i o n s The Information Gateway: The KnowledgeBase The KnowledgeBase includes all the library Resources • Cataloging Information (per collection): • Name of collection, owner, subject, services, language • Configuration Information (per MetaLib resource): • Interfacing protocol, internal format, rules of conversion R e s o u r c e s

  8. KnowledgeBase Example of cataloged collection USMARC 245 Title: Queen Elizabeth II Library 270 Location: Memorial University of Newfoundland | St. John’s, Newfoundland | Canada | AC15S7 307 Access Times: Monday-Thursday 8:30-20:45 Closed Saturdays 520 Description: Main library covers humanities, science, computers, physical ed, social sciences, and engineering 546 Language: English 531 Access: Open to the public 901 Administrator: Iscott@mun.ca 650 Subject: Computer Science 650 Subject: Pure Science 650 Subject: Humanities
