  1. Integrating Data Mining and Data Management Technologies for Scholarly Inquiry Ray R. Larson University of California, Berkeley Paul Watry Richard Marciano University of Liverpool University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

  2. Integrating Data Mining and Data Management Technologies for Scholarly Inquiry • Goals: • Text mining and NLP techniques to extract content (named Persons, Places, Time Periods/Events) and associate context • Data: • Internet Archive Books Collection (with associated MARC where available) ~7.2T • Jstore ~1T • Context sources: SNAC Archival and Library Authority records. • Tools • Cheshire 3 – DL Search and Retrieval Framework • iRODS – Policy-driven distributed data storage • Amazon S3 storage and EC2 computing

  3. Grid-Based Digital Libraries: Needs • Large-scale distributed storage requirements and technologies • Organizing distributed digital collections • Shared Metadata – standards and requirements • Managing distributed digital collections • Security and access control • Collection Replication and backup • Distributed Information Retrieval support and algorithms

  4. But… • Hasn’t Hadoop and its menagerie already solved everything? • Yes – many tasks can be done now with great scaleup • And No – most Hadoop solutions are batch oriented and not geared towards information access, but more towards summarization • Maybe – we are looking at replacing or supplementing the low-level data management with Hadoop or Spark tools

  5. Grid/Cloud IR Issues • Want to preserve the same retrieval performance (precision/recall) while hopefully increasing efficiency (I.e. speed) • Very large-scale distribution of resources is (still) a challenge for sub-second retrieval • Different from most other typical Grid/Cloud processes, IR is potentially less computing intensive and more data intensive • In many ways Grid IR replicates the process (and problems) of metasearch or distributed search • We have developed the Cheshire3 system to evaluate and manage these issues. The Cheshire3 system is actually one component in a larger Grid-based environment

  6. Cheshire3 Environment or iRODS

  7. Cheshire3 IR Overview • XML Information Retrieval Engine • 3rd Generation of the UC Berkeley Cheshire system, as co-developed at the University of Liverpool • Uses Python for flexibility and extensibility, but uses C/C++ based libraries for processing speed • Standards based: XML, XSLT, CQL, SRW/U, Z39.50, OAI to name a few • Grid/Cloud capable. Uses distributed configuration files, workflow definitions and PVM or MPI to scale from one machine to thousands of parallel nodes • Free and Open Source Software

  8. Cheshire3 Object Model

  9. Current Version • iRODS and C3 on Amazon EC2 and S3 Data Ingestion Data Presentation iRODS Indexing Cheshire3 Rule Engine iCAT Retrieval Bucket 1 Amazon EC2 Amazon S3 Cache Resource Bucket 2

  10. Sample demo

  11. Summary • Indexing and IR work very well in the Grid/Cloud environment, with the expected scaling behavior for multiple processes • Still in progress: • We are still processing collecting the books collection from the Internet Archive • We are still extracting place names, personal names, corporate names and linking with reference sources (such as GeoNames, VIAF, and SNAC)
