  1. Evolution of NBII Search-Based Technologies Oct 24, 2002 Donna Roy USGS Center for Biological Informatics

  2. Topics • Introduction • Vision and Hope….. • Early Search Tools • Automated Search Tools such as BioBot • Portal (My.NBII.Gov) Search Tools

  3. Topics • Who am I? • What do I do within NBII?

  4. The Vision….Provide infrastructure for data discovery, visualization and interoperability of biological information through the web on any enabled device to facilitate research, resource management, education, public awareness… • Types of Natural Language questions: • Are there resources or data for a particular species or issue in this location? • Where are these resources in relationship to each other? • What other resources would be pertinent to this?? ?

  5. In the beginning…

  6. Typical Search 13M hits

  7. Let’s do some meta tags

  8. NBII Meta tags

  9. Dramatic improvements 1 hit 1438 hits

  10. Integrated results

  11. And a bit more evolution…

  12. BioBot intelligent agent

  13. BioBot purpose • Intelligent agent built specifically for the biological community • Targets NBII collections as well as major search engines • Stores queries and delivers results

  14. BioBot Components Search • -Distributed • Bio-info sources • Simple Search • Boolean • Integrated BioBot Search Profiling • -Off-line delivery • E-mail update • Customizable • Integrated My NBII

  15. 1. 2. 3. BioBot – profiling

  16. Getting smarter …

  17. Current Standards • Dublin Core for Resource for Cataloging • Extended for Biological and Web usage • Vocabularies for biological information • Thesauri for semantic searching • Early in development/implementation • FGDC for Geospatial data • Followed Extensively, not intelligent (yet) • OGC for Geospatial systems • Implement for Data Discovery and Visualization, not robust enough for Data Interoperability

  18. Enter the world of portals….

  19. My.NBII.Gov allows for… • User customization – look & content • Application integration • Virtual communities – document sharing, issues • Improved searching of all document types • Integrate diverse sources of information • Improved web-site and content management • Distributed management • Extensive document & user security • Foundation to integrate with other Portals

  20. My.NBII.Gov Search Efforts

  21. My.NBII.Gov documents • Allow for sharing of virtually any document type • Can easily be made searchable to all or selected groups • Enable browsing and topic specific searching • Allows user uploading of documents

  22. My.NBII.Gov – New BioBot search

  23. BioBot Search result…

  24. My.NBII.Gov – Advanced Search Advanced Search The ability to search via document properties (i.e. author) or folders is available in the portal.

  25. Additional Portal searching
