Quality and relevance of domain-specific search: A case study in mental health

When searching for health information, results quality can be judged against available scientific evidence: Do search engines return advice consistent with evidence based medicine? We compared the performance of domain-specific health and depression search engines against a general-purpose engine (Google) on both relevance of results and quality of advice. Over 101 queries, to which the term ‘depression’ was added if not already present, Google returned more relevant results than those of the domain-specific engines. However, over the 50 treatment-related queries, Google returned 70 pages recommending for or against a well studied treatment, of which 19 strongly disagreed with the scientific evidence. A domain-specific index of 4 sites selected by domain experts was only wrong in 5 of 50 recommendations. Analysis suggests a tension between relevance and quality. Indexing more pages can give a greater number of relevant results, but selective inclusion can give better quality.     

DC词表的维护:实践、策略与模型

DCMI维护着一个包含众多元数据术语的词表，其中最主要的是包括15个元素的都柏林核心。然而，DCMI所关注和讨论的并不只是这个核心集，以及围绕这个核心集的实践、策略和模型，DC元数据模型已经由最初的单一模型进化成一个完整的框架，可以通过这个框架对应用DC元数据的各种实践进行评估。这些术语及其以前的版本现在都由统一资源标识符(URI)来标识，并建立了网页和形式化的schema文档，在注册系统中被编成索引，在具体的应用纲要(application profiles)中被引用。DCMI正在寻求一种简单易行的维护机制，一方面推荐使用不断变化和增长的核心标准，另一方面承认和重用其它的词表作为必要的补充，这两者之间需要建立一种平衡。
