- "Fünf Jahre nach seiner Gründung ist Google zum Herz des weltweiten Computernetzes geworden. Mit seiner Konzentration aufs Wesentliche hat die Suchmaschine alle anderen Anbieter weit zurück gelassen. Aber Google kann viel mehr, als im Web nach Texten und Bildern zu suchen. Gesammelt und aufbereitet werden auch Beiträge in Diskussionsforen (Newsgroups), aktuelle Nachrichten und andere im Netz verfügbare Informationen. Wer sich beim "Googeln" darauf beschränkt, ein einziges Wort in das Suchformular einzutippen und dann die ersten von oft mehreren hunderttausend Treffern anzuschauen, nutzt nur einen winzigen Bruchteil der Möglichkeiten. Wie man Google bis zum letzten ausreizt, haben Tara Calishain und Rael Dornfest in einem bislang nur auf Englisch veröffentlichten Buch dargestellt (Tara Calishain/Rael Dornfest: Google Hacks", www.oreilly.de, 28 Euro. Die wichtigsten Praxistipps kosten als Google Pocket Guide 12 Euro). - Suchen mit bis zu zehn Wörtern - Ihre "100 Google Hacks" beginnen mit Google-Strategien wie der Kombination mehrerer Suchbegriffe und enden mit der Aufforderung zur eigenen Nutzung der Google API ("Application Programming Interface"). Diese Schnittstelle kann zur Entwicklung von eigenen Programmen eingesetzt werden,,die auf die Google-Datenbank mit ihren mehr als drei Milliarden Einträgen zugreifen. Ein bewussteres Suchen im Internet beginnt mit der Kombination mehrerer Suchbegriffe - bis zu zehn Wörter können in das Formularfeld eingetippt werden, welche Google mit dem lo-gischen Ausdruck "und" verknüpft. Diese Standardvorgabe kann mit einem dazwischen eingefügten "or" zu einer Oder-Verknüpfung geändert werden. Soll ein bestimmter Begriff nicht auftauchen, wird ein Minuszeichen davor gesetzt. Auf diese Weise können bei einer Suche etwa alle Treffer ausgefiltert werden, die vom Online-Buchhändler Amazon kommen. Weiter gehende Syntax-Anweisungen helfen ebenfalls dabei, die Suche gezielt einzugrenzen: Die vorangestellte Anweisung "intitle:" etwa (ohne Anführungszeichen einzugeben) beschränkt die Suche auf all diejenigen Web-Seiten, die den direkt danach folgenden Begriff in ihrem Titel aufführen. Die Computer von Google bewältigen täglich mehr als 200 Millionen Anfragen. Die Antworten kommen aus einer Datenbank, die mehr als drei Milliarden Einträge enthält und regelmäßig aktualisiert wird. Dazu Werden SoftwareRoboter eingesetzt, so genannte "Search-Bots", die sich die Hyperlinks auf Web-Seiten entlang hangeln und für jedes Web-Dokument einen Index zur Volltextsuche anlegen. Die Einnahmen des 1998 von Larry Page und Sergey Brin gegründeten Unternehmens stammen zumeist von Internet-Portalen, welche die GoogleSuchtechnik für ihre eigenen Dienste übernehmen. Eine zwei Einnahmequelle ist die Werbung von Unternehmen, die für eine optisch hervorgehobene Platzierung in den GoogleTrefferlisten zahlen. Das Unternehmen mit Sitz im kalifornischen Mountain View beschäftigt rund 800 Mitarbeiter. Der Name Google leitet sich ab von dem Kunstwort "Googol", mit dem der amerikanische Mathematiker Edward Kasner die unvorstellbar große Zahl 10 hoch 100 (eine 1 mit hundert Nullen) bezeichnet hat. Kommerzielle Internet-Anbieter sind sehr, daran interessiert, auf den vordersten Plätzen einer Google-Trefferliste zu erscheinen.
Da Google im Unterschied zu Yahoo oder Lycos nie ein auf möglichst viele Besuche angelegtes Internet-Portal werden wollte, ist die Suche in der Datenbank auch außerhalb der Google-Web-Site möglich. Dafür gibt es zunächst die "Google Toolbar" für den Internet Explorer, mit der dieser Browser eine eigene Leiste, für die Google-Suche erhält. Freie Entwickler bieten im Internet eine eigene Umsetzung: dieses Werkzeugs auch für den Netscape/ Mozilla-Browser an. Daneben kann ein GoogleSucheingabefeld aber auch auf die eigene WebSeite platziert werden - dazu sind nur vier Zei-len HTML-Code nötig. Eine Google-Suche zu starten, ist übrigens auch ganz ohne Browser möglich. Dazu hat das Unternehmen im Aprilvergangenen Jahres die API ("Application Programming Interface") frei gegeben, die in eigene Programme' eingebaut wird. So kann man etwa eine Google-Suche mit einer E-Mail starten: Die Suchbegriffe werden in die Betreff Zeile einer ansonsten leeren EMail eingetragen, die an die Adresse google@capeclear.com geschickt wird. Kurz danach trifft eine automatische Antwort-Mail mit den ersten zehn Treffern ein. Die entsprechenden Kenntnisse vorausgesetzt, können Google-Abfragen auch in Web-Services eingebaut werden - das sind Programme, die Daten aus dem Internet verarbeiten. Als Programmiertechniken kommen dafür Perl, PHP, Python oder Java in Frage. Calishain und Dornfest stellen sogar eine Reihe von abgedrehten Sites vor, die solche Programme für abstrakte Gedichte oder andere Kunstwerke einsetzen."

- Abstract
- As part of ongoing investigation of information seeking behaviour of end users in electronic environments, a comparison was made of those users having expertise in a topic area and those with expertise in online searching. Computer scientists and online search specialists conducted assigned searches in a HyperCard database on the topic of hypertext. Both groups of experts were able to conduct successful searches and outperformed a novice control group. Search specialists took slightly less time tahn the domain experts, modified queries by adding terms found in the text, and tended to focus on query formulation. Domain experts focused on the text and used their domain knowledge for further question answering

- Abstract
- Proposes a model of a hypermedia software package fronting an existing database that would be applicable to the type of database used by museums for use by the public developed by Loughborough University, Department of Information and Library Studies, and Leicester University, Department of Museums Studies. Museums have text databases of their collections that, for public use, would require navigational access. Focuses on the design of a hypermedia front end for a hypothetical museum, using services information and object records from real museums. The resulting Hypermuse system consists of a 386 personal computer running dBase as a back end and an Apple Macintosh LC running HyperCard as the front end: a serial link, managed at each end by the packages pcAnywhere and Commstalk respectively, connects the machines. When evaluated, the prototype system was found to be basically sound but in need of minor improvements in the front end. Concludes that the concept is viable for implementation in museums

- Abstract
- Hypermedia offers a new paradigm for the design of information systems, yet there are few working applications. The best situation is for a database to hold information and a hypermedia package to provide the interface. Explains why museum information systems are ideal for investigating the augmentation of traditional databases with hypermedia. 2 leading examples in the UK are the Micro Gallery at the National Gallery and the Design Museum public catalogue. Describes a prototype development of an interface for the visiting public to allow access to the museum database. Object records from Leicestershire Museums local collection and the George III collection of early scientific instruments from the Science Museum, London, were used. Object records were stored on an IBM PC in dBase databases. The hypermedia front-end was built using Hypercard on a Macintosh LC computer. Covers system design and evaluation

- Discusses the development of Campus Wide Information Systems with reference to the work of Leuven University Library. A 4th phase can now be distinguished in the evolution of CWISs as they evolve towards Intranets. WWW technology is applied to organise a consistent interface to different types of information, databases and services within an institution. WWW servers now exist via which queries and query results are translated from the Web environment to the specific database query language and vice versa. The integration of Java will enable programs to be executed from within the Web environment. Describes each phase of CWIS development at KU Leuven

- Abstract
- Discusses various structural searching methods available on the Web. some databases such as the Brookhaven Protein Database use keyword searching which does not provide the desired substructure search capabilities. Others like CS ChemFinder and MDL's Chemscape use graphical plug in programs. Although plug in programs provide more capabilities, users first have to obtain a copy of the programs. Due to this limitation, Tripo's WebSketch and ACD Interactive Lab adopt a different approach. Using JAVA applets, users create and display a structure query of the molecule on the web page without using other software. The new technique is likely to extend itself to other electronic publications

- Describes the work undertaken by the Wiliam Blake Archive, Virginia University, to document the metadata tools for handling digital images of illustrations accompanying Blake's work. Images are encoded in both JPEG and TIFF formats. Image Documentation (ID) records are slotted into that portion of the JPEG file reserved for textual metadata. Because the textual content of the ID record now becomes part of the image file itself, the documentary metadata travels with the image even it it is downloaded from one file to another. The metadata is invisible when viewing the image but becomes accessible to users via the 'info' button on the control panel of the Java applet

- This paper describes a graphical interface for the navigation and construction of faceted thesauri that is based on formal concept analysis. Each facet of a thesaurus is represented as a mathematical lattice that is further subdivided into components. Users can graphically navigate through the Java implementation of the interface by clicking on terms that connect facets and components. Since there are many applications for thesauri in the knowledge representation field, such a graphical interface has the potential of being very useful

- In this position paper we propose a document-centric middleware component called Living Documents to support context-aware information retrieval in distributed communities. A Living Document acts as a micro server for a document which contains computational services, a semi-structured knowledge repository to uniformly store and access context-related information, and finally the document's digital content. Our initial prototype of Living Documents is based an the concept of mobile agents and implemented in Java and XML.

- Abstract
- The delivery of documents on the Web has moved beyond the restrictions of the traditional Web markup language, HTML. HTML's static tags cannot deal with the variety of data formats now beginning to be exchanged between various entities, whether corporate or institutional. XML solves many of the problems by allowing arbitrary tags, which describe the content for a particular audience or group. At the Center for Electronic Texts in the Humanities the Latin texts of Lector Longinquus are being transformed to XML in readiness for the expected new standard. To allow existing browsers to render these texts, a Java program is used to transform the XML to HTML on the fly.

- Rez. in: nfd - Information Wissenschaft und Praxis 54(2003) H.4, S.253 (D. Lewandowski): "Mit "Google Hacks" liegt das bisher umfassendste Werk vor, das sich ausschließlich an den fortgeschrittenen Google-Nutzer wendet. Daher wird man in diesem Buch auch nicht die sonst üblichen Anfänger-Tips finden, die Suchmaschinenbücher und sonstige Anleitungen zur Internet-Recherche für den professionellen Nutzer in der Regel uninteressant machen. Mit Tara Calishain hat sich eine Autorin gefunden, die bereits seit nahezu fünf Jahren einen eigenen Suchmaschinen-Newsletter (www.researchbuzz.com) herausgibt und als Autorin bzw. Co-Autorin einige Bücher zum Thema Recherche verfasst hat. Für die Programmbeispiele im Buch ist Rael Dornfest verantwortlich. Das erste Kapitel ("Searching Google") gibt einen Einblick in erweiterte Suchmöglichkeiten und Spezifika der behandelten Suchmaschine. Dabei wird der Rechercheansatz der Autorin klar: die beste Methode sei es, die Zahl der Treffer selbst so weit einzuschränken, dass eine überschaubare Menge übrig bleibt, die dann tatsächlich gesichtet werden kann. Dazu werden die feldspezifischen Suchmöglichkeiten in Google erläutert, Tips für spezielle Suchen (nach Zeitschriftenarchiven, technischen Definitionen, usw.) gegeben und spezielle Funktionen der Google-Toolbar erklärt. Bei der Lektüre fällt positiv auf, dass auch der erfahrene Google-Nutzer noch Neues erfährt. Einziges Manko in diesem Kapitel ist der fehlende Blick über den Tellerrand: zwar ist es beispielsweise möglich, mit Google eine Datumssuche genauer als durch das in der erweiterten Suche vorgegebene Auswahlfeld einzuschränken; die aufgezeigte Lösung ist jedoch ausgesprochen umständlich und im Recherchealltag nur eingeschränkt zu gebrauchen. Hier fehlt der Hinweis, dass andere Suchmaschinen weit komfortablere Möglichkeiten der Einschränkung bieten. Natürlich handelt es sich bei dem vorliegenden Werk um ein Buch ausschließlich über Google, trotzdem wäre hier auch ein Hinweis auf die Schwächen hilfreich gewesen. In späteren Kapiteln werden durchaus auch alternative Suchmaschinen zur Lösung einzelner Probleme erwähnt. Das zweite Kapitel widmet sich den von Google neben der klassischen Websuche angebotenen Datenbeständen. Dies sind die Verzeichniseinträge, Newsgroups, Bilder, die Nachrichtensuche und die (hierzulande) weniger bekannten Bereichen Catalogs (Suche in gedruckten Versandhauskatalogen), Froogle (eine in diesem Jahr gestartete Shopping-Suchmaschine) und den Google Labs (hier werden von Google entwickelte neue Funktionen zum öffentlichen Test freigegeben). Nachdem die ersten beiden Kapitel sich ausführlich den Angeboten von Google selbst gewidmet haben, beschäftigt sich das Buch ab Kapitel drei mit den Möglichkeiten, die Datenbestände von Google mittels Programmierungen für eigene Zwecke zu nutzen. Dabei werden einerseits bereits im Web vorhandene Programme vorgestellt, andererseits enthält das Buch viele Listings mit Erläuterungen, um eigene Applikationen zu programmieren. Die Schnittstelle zwischen Nutzer und der Google-Datenbank ist das Google-API ("Application Programming Interface"), das es den registrierten Benutzern erlaubt, täglich bis zu 1.00o Anfragen über ein eigenes Suchinterface an Google zu schicken. Die Ergebnisse werden so zurückgegeben, dass sie maschinell weiterverarbeitbar sind. Außerdem kann die Datenbank in umfangreicherer Weise abgefragt werden als bei einem Zugang über die Google-Suchmaske. Da Google im Gegensatz zu anderen Suchmaschinen in seinen Benutzungsbedingungen die maschinelle Abfrage der Datenbank verbietet, ist das API der einzige Weg, eigene Anwendungen auf Google-Basis zu erstellen. Ein eigenes Kapitel beschreibt die Möglichkeiten, das API mittels unterschiedlicher Programmiersprachen wie PHP, Java, Python, usw. zu nutzen. Die Beispiele im Buch sind allerdings alle in Perl geschrieben, so dass es sinnvoll erscheint, für eigene Versuche selbst auch erst einmal in dieser Sprache zu arbeiten.
Das sechste Kapitel enthält 26 Anwendungen des Google-APIs, die teilweise von den Autoren des Buchs selbst entwickelt wurden, teils von anderen Autoren ins Netz gestellt wurden. Als besonders nützliche Anwendungen werden unter anderem der Touchgraph Google Browser zur Visualisierung der Treffer und eine Anwendung, die eine Google-Suche mit Abstandsoperatoren erlaubt, vorgestellt. Auffällig ist hier, dass die interessanteren dieser Applikationen nicht von den Autoren des Buchs programmiert wurden. Diese haben sich eher auf einfachere Anwendungen wie beispielsweise eine Zählung der Treffer nach der Top-Level-Domain beschränkt. Nichtsdestotrotz sind auch diese Anwendungen zum großen Teil nützlich. In einem weiteren Kapitel werden pranks and games ("Streiche und Spiele") vorgestellt, die mit dem Google-API realisiert wurden. Deren Nutzen ist natürlich fragwürdig, der Vollständigkeit halber mögen sie in das Buch gehören. Interessanter wiederum ist das letzte Kapitel: "The Webmaster Side of Google". Hier wird Seitenbetreibern erklärt, wie Google arbeitet, wie man Anzeigen am besten formuliert und schaltet, welche Regeln man beachten sollte, wenn man seine Seiten bei Google plazieren will und letztlich auch, wie man Seiten wieder aus dem Google-Index entfernen kann. Diese Ausführungen sind sehr knapp gehalten und ersetzen daher keine Werke, die sich eingehend mit dem Thema Suchmaschinen-Marketing beschäftigen. Allerdings sind die Ausführungen im Gegensatz zu manch anderen Büchern zum Thema ausgesprochen seriös und versprechen keine Wunder in Bezug auf eine Plazienung der eigenen Seiten im Google-Index. "Google Hacks" ist auch denjenigen zu empfehlen, die sich nicht mit der Programmierung mittels des APIs beschäftigen möchten. Dadurch, dass es die bisher umfangreichste Sammlung von Tips und Techniken für einen gezielteren Umgang mit Google darstellt, ist es für jeden fortgeschrittenen Google-Nutzer geeignet. Zwar mögen einige der Hacks einfach deshalb mit aufgenommen worden sein, damit insgesamt die Zahl von i00 erreicht wird. Andere Tips bringen dafür klar erweiterte Möglichkeiten bei der Recherche. Insofern hilft das Buch auch dabei, die für professionelle Bedürfnisse leider unzureichende Abfragesprache von Google ein wenig auszugleichen." - Bergische Landeszeitung Nr.207 vom 6.9.2003, S.RAS04A/1 (Rundschau am Sonntag: Netzwelt) von P.

- Abstract
- With the growth of hypertext and multimedia applications that support and encourage browsing it is time to take a penetrating look at browsing behaviour. Several dimensions of browsing are exemined, to find out: first, what is browsing and what cognitive processes are associated with it: second, is there a browsing strategy, and if so, are there any differences between how subject-area experts and novices browse; and finally, how can this knowledge be applied to improve the design of hypertext systems. Two groups of students, subject-area experts and novices, were studied while browsing a Macintosh HyperCard application on the subject The Vietnam War. A protocol analysis technique was used to gather and analyze data. Components of the GOMS model were used to describe the goals, operators, methods, and selection rules observed: Three browsing strategies were identified: (1) search-oriented browse, scanning and and reviewing information relevant to a fixed task; (2) review-browse, scanning and reviewing intersting information in the presence of transient browse goals that represent changing tasks, and (3) scan-browse, scanning for interesting information (without review). Most subjects primarily used review-browse interspersed with search-oriented browse. Within this strategy, comparisons between subject-area experts and novices revealed differences in tactics: experts browsed in more depth, seldom used referential links, selected different kinds of topics, and viewed information differently thatn did novices. Based on these findings, suggestions are made to hypertext developers

- Abstract
- As we seek both to improve public school education in high technology areas and to link libraries and classrooms on the 'information superhighway', we need to understand more about children's information searching abilities. We present results of 4 experiments conducted on 4 versions of the Science Library Catalog (SLC), a Dewey Decimal based hierarchical browsing systems implemeted in HyperCard without a keyboard. The experiments were conducted over a 3-year period at 3 sites, with 4 databases, and with comparisons to 2 different keyword online catalogs. Subjects were ethnically and culturally diverse children aged 9 through 12; with 32 to 34 children participating in each experiment. Children were provided explicit instruction and reference materials for the keyword systems but not for the SLC. The number of search topics matched was comparable across all systems and all experiments; search times were comparable, thought hey varied among the 4 SLC versions and between the 2 keyword OPACs. The SLC overall was robust to differences in age, sex and computer experience. One of the keyword OPACs was subject to minor effects of age and computer experience; the other was not. We found relationships between search topic and system structure, such that the most difficult topics on the SLC were those hard to locate in the hierarchy, and those most difficult on the keyword OPACs were hard to spell or required children to generate their own search terms. The SLC approach overcomes problems with several searching features that are difficult for children in typical keyword OPAC systems; typing skills, spelling, vocabulary, and Boolean logic. Results have general implications for the desing of information retrieval systems for children

- Abstract
- Reports on a continuing project to study children's use of a graphically-based direct manipulation interface for science materials. The Science Library Catalogue (SLC), a component of project SEED, has been implemented in the libraries of 21 elementary schools in Los Angeles and will soon be implemented in a public library. The interface employs a hierarchical structure drawn from the DDC and implemented in HyperCard on the Macintosh. The study on the 2nd version of the interface indicates that children are able to use the Science Library Catalogue unaided, with reasonable success in finding items. Search success on the same topics on a Boolean command driven system was equivalent, but Boolean searches were faster. However, the Boolean system was more sensitive to differences in age, with 12-year-olds having significantly better success rates than 10-year-olds; and to search topic, with one set of questions being much easier to search than the other. On average, children liked the 2 systems about the same; the Boolean system was more attractive to certain age and gender combinations, while the Science Library Catalogue was more consistently liked across groups. results are compared to prior studies on the Science Library Catalogue and other online catalogues

- Abstract
- Many information professionals feel that the time is still far off when the WWW can offer the combined funtionality and content of traditional online and CD-ROM databases, but there have been a number of recent Web developments to reflect on. Describes the testing and launch by Ovid of its Java client which, in effect, allows access to its databases on the Web with full search functionality, and the initiative of Euromonitor in providing Web access to its whole collection of consumer research reports and its entire database of business sources. Also reviews the service of a newcomer to the information scene, Information Quest (IQ) founded by Dawson Holdings which has made an agreement with Infonautics to offer access to its Electric Library database thus adding over 1.000 reference, consumer and business publications to its Web based journal service

- Abstract
- Examines some of the advanced tools, techniques, methods and standards related to the Internet and WWW which consist of hybrids of documents and software, called 'document program hybrids'. Early Internet systems were based on having documents on one side and software on the other, neatly separated, apart from one another and without much interaction, so that the static document can also exist without computers and networks. Documentation program hybrids blur this classical distinction and all components are integrated, interwoven and exist in synergy with each other. Illustrates the techniques with particular reference to practical examples, including: dara collections and dedicated software; advanced HTML features on the WWW, multimedia viewer and plug in software for Internet and WWW browsers; VRML; interaction through a Web server with other servers and with instruments; adaptive hypertext provided by the server; 'webbots' or 'knowbots' or 'searchbots' or 'metasearch engines' or intelligent software agents; Sun's Java; Microsoft's ActiveX; program scripts for HTML and Web browsers; cookies; and Internet push technology with Webcasting channels

- Abstract
- A unique collection of historical material covering the lives and events of an English village between 1400 and 1750 has been made available via a WWW enabled information retrieval system. Since the expected readership of the documents ranges from school children to experienced researchers, providing this information in an easily accessible form has offered many challenges requiring tools to aid searching and browsing. The file structure of the document collection was replaced by an database, enabling query results to be presented on the fly. A Java interface displays each user's context in a form that allows for easy and intuitive relevance feedback
