ABSTRACT
Indexing and searching services play a critical role in digital libraries. They are responsible for maintaining an index of the existing resources and responding to search queries. Traditional systems store these indexes using a centralized approach, but recent distributed computing paradigms bring new challenges to the storage of information and query processing. In this paper, we will discuss the new trends in the area of P2P based digital libraries and which challenges they place for these services. In the second part of the paper, we evaluate different engines according to defined objectives and propose changes accordingly.

Finding what is missing from a digital library: A case study in the Computer Science field
This article proposes a process to retrieve the URL of a document for which metadata records exist in a digital library catalog but a pointer to the full text of the document is not available. The process uses results from queries submitted to Web ...
An Empirical Evaluation on Semantic Search Performance of Keyword-Based and Semantic Search Engines: Google, Yahoo, Msn and Hakia
ICIMP '09: Proceedings of the 2009 Fourth International Conference on Internet Monitoring and ProtectionThis paper investigates the semantic search performance of search engines. Initially, three keyword-based search engines (Google, Yahoo and Msn) and a semantic search engine (Hakia) were selected. Then, ten queries, from various topics, and four phrases,...
