Collection • A set of documents • A set of services on the documents • A set of polices that regulate the use of the services CYCLADES Kick-off meeting
Why a dynamic collection functionality? The Cyclades data environment will be huge and heterogeneous The dynamic collection functionality will provide • a user view of the data environment as organised into community meaningful information spaces accessible throught specific set of services CYCLADES Kick-off meeting
Collection names Collection descriptions Computer Science documents in “computer science” domain Recent Physics documents in “physics” domain stored in ArXiv and PhysNet, published after 1990 ……. ……. User View CYCLADES Kick-off meeting
Collection names Operations Computer Science simple-search, … European Computer Science attribute-based search, cross-language search, … User view simple-search Input: “keywords in the abstract” Preconditions: keywords in English Output:set of <document.id,author,title> Effect:”returns the specified output for all the documents that contains the given keywords in their abstract” CYCLADES Kick-off meeting
Why a dynamic collection functionality? The dynamic collection mechanism will provide • a support for the optimisation of the services CYCLADES Kick-off meeting

The collection criteria • Selection of one or more existing collections • “Technical reports” • Composition of existing collections • “Health” and “Information technology” • Restriction • “Tecnical reports” on medicine, written in Italian, and available in downloadable digital form • “Theses and dissertations” produced by students at Virgina Tech CYCLADES Kick-off meeting

Implementable criterion The given collection specification (criterion) must be implementable • Selection must operate on existing collections • (which can be mapped into …. • Restriction must specify condition that can be evaluated on the collection/collection composition e.g. Theses of the “Virginia Tech collection” • Set of services/polices must be defined on the set of collection documents e.g.Search by author last name CYCLADES Kick-off meeting
