Towards Creating Virtual Library

Present Developments – References Search

Whereas a decade ago, the state of the art in a research area could be found out by reading conference proceedings and journals in the local library, nowadays it is additionally necessary to find these electronic publications on the web. Traditional search engines do not help for this task, because they do not index e.g. postscript documents, which is the electronic format of many preprints appearing on the web.

The few existing searchable indices for postscript documents either cover too large fields—all of computer science, for example—to be really helpful, or they depend on some submission procedure which delays the appearance of the documents on the web. A searchable index for scientific papers which is specialised in a relatively small research area and also allows to find the latest new documents.

Three Steps for Efficient Search

This proceeds in three steps. In the first step, a list of names of people who are active in the research under consideration is constructed. This information is obtained from electronic computer science bibliographies, and therefore the names found can be seen as “certified.” In the second step, the Home Pages of these people are found. In the third step, these Home Pages are used as starting points for a search engine, which collects scientific papers in the area close to these Home Pages. The documents are used to create a searchable index which is accessible on a web server.
