Metadata Group

Indexing Project (solr)

12.14.2006

DC-based system

15 searchable fields (no qualifiers)

come up with example queries and desired return docs

(anyone else who specifically should provide input for this?)

notes = indexed, but not searchable as a field

can search just metadata fields, or metadata fields + full text

tokenize (google "and"ing)

also phrase search

also (some optional): quotes, stemming, relevance ranking, proximity, weight relevance of search terms (individually), limit search by any of 15 fields

date-year (4-digit year, publication date) -- used only for sorting; blank if creation is a range

creation date -- date it hit DLS (for RSS feeds)

system -- example, CRS

collection -- example, UNTGD

institution -- example, UNT

can combine creator and contributor into "author" search (for user interface)

what are people going to search for? and how?

can sort by any field (and relevance)

(no-date items in search/sort?)

what about multiple creators (for sorting)? Mark will try this

also-- iii searches

give as much data as possible

try to roll this out in January 2007

what does the user side need to look like (later)

faceted search (later)
