Moninäkymähaun hyödyntäminen verkkopalveluissa
Abstract
Tässä tutkimuksessa tutustutaan semanttisen webin maailmaan moninäkymähaun kautta sekä tutkitaan siihen liittyviä taustoja ja teorioita. Moninäkymähaku on eräs hakukäyttöliittymä, jolla käyttäjä voi hakea tietoa tutkivalla otteella. Moninäkymähaku tarjoaa hyvän tuen tavallisten sanahakukoneiden rinnalle, mutta sitä ei ole tuotu kovin näkyvästi esille ihmisten tietoon. Tutkimuksessa otetaan kantaa eri verkkopalveluiden moninäkymähaun sovellutuksiin. Tutkimuksen aikana tutkittiin seitsemää verkkopalvelua, jotka käyttävät moninäkymähakua kokonaan tai osana niiden tarjoamaa verkkopalvelua. Tutkimuksessa ilmeni, että osa sivustoista hyödynsi paremmin moninäkymähaun ominaisuuksia kuin muut, mutta mikään sivusto ei hyödyntänyt maksimaalisesti kaikkia moninäkymähaun tarjoamia ominaisuuksia. Tutkimus antaa tietoa moninäkymähaun soveltamisesta ja sen mahdollisista kehityskohteista.
This research explores the world of semantic web through faceted navigation and discusses backgrounds and theories of it. Faceted navigation is one type of search interface, where user can search information with explorative edge. Faceted navigation offers good support together with traditional keyword-based search engines, but it hasn’t yet been brought out very visibly to the people. This research addresses the applications of few web services that use faceted search. During the research, seven different web services utilizing faceted search as a whole or as a part of its service were studied. In conclusion, some of the websites utilized faceted navigation better than others, but none of the websites utilized fully all the possible functionalities of a faceted navigation. This research gives insight into faceted search applications and how to improve them.
