Antarctic Master DirectoryUse Statistics - Summary • Searches in 2004 show a slight increase over the last six months of 2003 • Based on number of hits per topic, the most popular topics are: Cryosphere, followed by Oceans, Atmosphere, Biosphere, Human Dimensions, and Solid Earth, respectively. • Overall, number of retrievals increasing • Since November 2003, AMD accounts for approximately 9% of all portal searches • AMD is the most popular portal of 35 portals JCADM - 8Bremen, Germany
Antarctic Master DirectoryUse Statistics – Top 10 DIFs Discussed • First Quarter 2004: DIFs from IDN Node AMD/BE (Belgium) were retrieved more often than any other DIFs • Second Quarter 2004: Only 2 DIFs from IDN Node AMD/BE appeared in the Top 10 list • Possible Explanations: • Users are looking at the DIFs as examples of metadata for new NADCs • The DIFs are keyed with popular keywords having to do with ecology/biology and ice cap mass balance, which are closely linked to global climate change JCADM - 8Bremen, Germany
Antarctic Master DirectoryUse Statistics – Top 10 DIFs Discussed Increasing retrievals of DIFs: • Key DIFs with as many pertinent controlled and free-text keywords as possible • Write comprehensive summaries • Note: Free-text search engine, Isite, does ranking on term frequency and where the term appears in the document. • Keep DIFs up to date JCADM - 8Bremen, Germany
Antarctic Master DirectoryFuture • Newly designed keyword interface with left-hand side navigation and link to Data Services (preview: http://gcmd.sesda.com:1881/KeywordSearch/Home.do?Portal=amd&MetadataType=0) • Link to Data Services • Do-It-Yourself portals • New geospatial search capability packaged with Lucene free-text search • Stand-alone version of docBUILDER for use in the field JCADM - 8Bremen, Germany
