INFOMINE WEBSITE HOW DOES INFOMINE WEBSITE WORKS ENID FRANCO
INFOMINE is a virtual library of Internet resources relevant to faculty, students, and research staff at the university level. It contains useful Internet resources such as databases, electronic journals, electronic books, bulletin boards, mailing lists, online library card catalogs, articles, directories of researchers, and many other types of information. INFOMINE is librarian built. Librarians from the University of California, Wake Forest University, California State University, the University of Detroit - Mercy, and other universities and colleges have contributed to building INFOMINE.

INFOMINE’S RESEARCH AND HOW ITS DEVELOP CONSIST OF TWO MAIN AREAS: WEB CRAWLING AND METADATA ASSIGNMENTS. Web Crawling INFOMINE uses a range of Web crawlers to discover new Internet resources: The NalandaiVia Focused Crawler is a focused Web crawler based on Dr. SoumenChakrabarti's pioneering work in this field. This software is available as a seperate project on the download page. The INFOMINE Virtual Library Crawler is a "Web robot" that uses the academic virtual libraries cataloged in INFOMINEas starting points to discover new resources. The INFOMINE Automatic Focused Crawler extracts a set of topics from INFOMINE, and uses the NalandaiVia Focused Crawler to look for new resources similar to the each topic for inclusion in INFOMINE. This software is part of the iVia package, but requires NalandaiVia Focused Crawler.
METADATA ASSIGNMENTS There are currently modules in iVia for assigning a range of metadata fields, including Title, Creator, Contributor, Publisher, Keyphrases, Library of Congress Subject Headings, Library of Congress Classification, Description, Language Format (i.e Media Type) and INFOMINE Categories. The more interesteing approaches are described below. The LCSHtoLCC LCC assignment module will automatically assign documents a classification from the LCC Outline. The project is led by Dr. Eibe Frank (Department of Computer Science of The University of Waikato) and Dr. Gordon W. Paynter at INFOMINE. This software is written in Java, and available as a seperate project on the download page. Keith Humphreys' PhraseRateKeyphrase identification and extraction algorithm is used to assign metadata to new resources.
