The methodology involves assessing an organization's file naming conventions, use of alt text, embedded metadata, schema.org markup and more. It also involves analyzing search engine results and structured data validation tools. The goal is to establish a baseline of an organization's current practices and identify areas for improvement to maintain online relevancy. The expected outcomes include a benchmark for an organization's structured data maturity and a roadmap for improving image findability on and off their website.
Enhanced Web Usage Mining Using Fuzzy Clustering and Collaborative Filtering ...inventionjournals
This document discusses an enhanced web usage mining system using fuzzy clustering and collaborative filtering recommendation algorithms. It aims to address challenges with existing recommender systems like producing low quality recommendations for large datasets. The system architecture uses fuzzy clustering to predict future user access based on browsing behavior. Collaborative filtering is then used to produce expected results by combining fuzzy clustering outputs with a web database. This approach aims to provide users with more relevant recommendations in a shorter time compared to other systems.
The document summarizes an evaluation of a federated search implementation at Booth Library, Eastern Illinois University. Key findings from analyzing search logs and user statistics over multiple years include: (1) users had significantly more searches and views of full records in native databases compared to the federated search, (2) databases interpreted search queries differently which impacted relevancy of results, (3) proper staffing, training, and statistics tracking are needed for a federated search to be effective. The evaluation highlights the reality that expectations often do not match actual user behaviors and search capabilities.
The document discusses semantic search capabilities at Yahoo. It describes how Yahoo has developed techniques to extract structured data and metadata from webpages to power enhanced search results. This includes information extraction, data fusion, and curating knowledge in a graph. Yahoo uses this knowledge to better understand search queries and present relevant entities and attributes in results. Semantic search remains an active area of research.
This is a high-level summary of three important ways to help people find information. The slides were presented at Vera Rhoades' information architecture class at the University of Maryland.
Is search always the right solution? There are many things you can do with a hammer, but it’s not so great if you need to turn a screw.
Text Classification is an alternative to search that may be more appropriate for social media data analysis. Text classification is the task of assigning predefined categories to free-text documents. It can provide conceptual views of document collections and has important applications in the real world. Using text classification as the foundation for analysis – i.e., teaching a machine to categorize posts the way humans do – can dramatically improve your ability to gather the right data and, ultimately, increase the chances that you’ll uncover what you need to know.

Perception Determined Constructing Algorithm for Document ClusteringIRJET Journal
This document discusses an approach to document clustering called "Semantic Lingo" which aims to identify key concepts in documents and automatically generate an ontology based on these concepts to better conceptualize the documents. It provides background on challenges with traditional document clustering techniques and search engines. The proposed approach uses semantic information from domain ontologies to improve web search clustering quality by addressing issues like synonyms, polysemy and high dimensionality. It also discusses using text segments within documents that focus on one or more topics to aid multi-topic document clustering.
This document discusses using metadata and knowledge graphs to better organize health data and make it more findable. It explains how knowledge graphs work by connecting entities and their relationships, and how this can help match user search intent to the meaning of data. The document also discusses challenges in organizing diverse data sources and standards, and how semantic annotation and knowledge graphs can help integrate different data types and make them interoperable.
Semantic search uses language processing to analyze the meaning of content and search queries to return more relevant results. It involves classifying content using taxonomies, identifying named entities, extracting relationships between entities, and matching these based on meaning. Implementing semantic search requires preparing content through classification, metadata, and information architecture, as well as technologies for semantic tagging, entity extraction, triple stores, and integrating these capabilities with existing search and content management systems.

What IA, UX and SEO Can Learn from Each OtherIan Lurie
Google has become the arbiter how users experience a website. Their data-driven determinants of what constitute good UX directly influence how a site is found. This is wrong because people, not machines, should determine experience; Google does not tell the SEO or UX community what data is used to measure experience and many elements of experience cannot be measured.This presentation reveals why Google uses UX signals to determine placement in search results and how to create a customer pleasing and highly visible user experience for your website.

The document discusses resource representation in federated and aggregated search systems. In federated search, resources need to be represented so systems know what documents each collection contains. Cooperative environments allow for comprehensive statistics, while uncooperative systems use query-based sampling. Representations include term statistics, collection sizes, and sample documents. Adaptive sampling techniques aim to improve representation quality over time.
This document discusses semantic search and how it can improve traditional information retrieval systems. It provides examples of how semantic search uses structured data and schemas to better understand user intent and content meaning. This allows semantic search to enhance various stages of the information retrieval process from query interpretation to result presentation. The document also outlines the growing adoption of semantic web standards like RDFa and schema.org to expose structured data on webpages.

`A Survey on approaches of Web Mining in Varied Areasinventionjournals
There has been lot of research in recent years for efficient web searching. Several papers have proposed algorithm for user feedback sessions, to evaluate the performance of inferring user search goals. When the information is retrieved, user clicks on a particular URL. Based on the click rate, ranking will be done automatically, clustering the feedback sessions. Web search engines have made enormous contributions to the web and society. They make finding information on the web quick and easy. However, they are far from optimal. A major deficiency of generic search engines is that they follow the ‘‘one size fits all’’ model and are not adaptable to individual users.
The document discusses keyword query routing for keyword search over multiple structured data sources. It proposes computing top-k routing plans based on their potential to contain results for a given keyword query. A keyword-element relationship summary compactly represents keyword and data element relationships. A multilevel scoring mechanism computes routing plan relevance based on scores at different levels, from keywords to subgraphs. Experiments on 150 public sources showed relevant plans can be computed in 1 second on average desktop computer. Routing helps improve keyword search performance without compromising result quality.

Image Resource Findability on the World Wide Web is still very much a landgrab. For the Semantic Web to become a reality online businesses and individuals have to get their hands dirty and also come facetoface with the realization that search engine giants are increasingly becoming the goto tool for information resource retrieval. “Increasingly, students use Web search engines such as Google to locate information resources rather than seek out library online catalogs or databases of scholarly journal articles” (Lippincott 2013). This puts the search engine giant in a unique position to dictate how the future of search will work on the Web and therefore, your organization’s future presence (or lack thereof) on the Web.

PageRank algorithm and its variations: A Survey reportIOSR Journals
This document provides an overview and comparison of PageRank algorithms. It begins with a brief history of PageRank, developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin as part of the Google search engine. It then discusses variants like Weighted PageRank and PageRank based on Visits of Links (VOL), which incorporate additional factors like link popularity and user visit data. The document also gives a basic introduction to web mining concepts and categorizes web mining into content, structure, and usage types. It concludes with a comparison of the original PageRank algorithm and its variations.
1. The document proposes techniques to improve search performance by matching schemas between structured and unstructured data sources.
2. It involves constructing schema mappings using named entities and schema structures. It also uses strategies to narrow the search space to relevant documents.
3. The techniques were shown to improve search accuracy and reduce time/space complexity compared to existing methods.
Search engines are designed to help users find information stored digitally. They aim to minimize the time and amount of information needed to find what users are looking for. Major methods of information retrieval for search engines include Boolean, vector space model, probabilistic, and meta search. Designing the perfect search engine requires dealing with challenges like the web's huge and constantly changing document set that is loosely organized through hyperlinks. Effective search requires components like crawlers to discover pages, repositories to store them, indexes for efficient searching, and ranking algorithms to order results.
IRJET- Text-based Domain and Image Categorization of Google Search Engine usi...IRJET Journal
This document discusses a proposed system for categorizing search engine results using conceptual clustering. The system analyzes the content of search results to extract relevant concepts, then uses a personalized conceptual clustering algorithm to generate a decision tree of query clusters. This tree can be used to identify categories for web pages and provide topically relevant results to users. The system aims to improve on traditional ranked search results by categorizing results based on the conceptual preferences and interests of individual users.
IRJET - Re-Ranking of Google Search ResultsIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a hybrid personalized re-ranking approach to search results. It models a user's search interests using a conceptual user profile containing categories and concepts extracted from clicked results and a concept hierarchy. The user profile contains two types of documents - taxonomy documents representing general interests and viewed documents representing specific interests. A hybrid re-ranking process then semantically integrates the user's general and specific interests from their profile with search engine rankings to improve result relevance.
Image Based Information Retrieval Using Deep Learning and Clustering TechniquesIRJET Journal
This document summarizes an approach for image-based information retrieval using deep learning and clustering techniques. It begins by discussing how current search engines rely on text-based methods that cannot fully capture image content. The proposed approach uses deep learning to extract visual features from images and hierarchical clustering to organize similar images. Images are initially retrieved based on text queries, then re-ranked based on visual relevance scores to return only images truly relevant to the user's query. The approach was found to reduce the semantic gap between low-level image features and high-level semantics compared to traditional text-based search.

Search Solutions 2011: Successful Enterprise Search By DesignMarianne Sweeny
When your colleagues say they want Google, they don’t mean the Google Search Appliance. They mean the Google Search user experience: pervasive, expedient and delivering the information that they need. Successful enterprise search does not start with the application features, is not part of the information architecture, does not come from a controlled vocabulary and does not emerge on its own from the developers. It requires enterprise-specific data mining, enterprise-specific user-centered design and fine tuning to turn “search sucks” into search success within the firewall. This presentation looks at action items, tools and deliverables for Discovery, Planning, Design and Post Launch phases of an enterprise search deployment.

IRJET-Multi -Stage Smart Deep Web Crawling Systems: A ReviewIRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on multi-stage smart deep web crawling systems. It discusses challenges in efficiently locating deep web interfaces due to their large numbers and dynamic nature. It proposes a three-stage crawling framework to address these challenges. The first stage performs site-based searching to prioritize relevant sites. The second stage explores sites to efficiently search for forms. An adaptive learning algorithm selects features and constructs link rankers to prioritize relevant links for fast searching. Evaluation on real web data showed the framework achieves substantially higher harvest rates than existing approaches.
Data mining in web search engine optimizationBookStoreLib
This document presents a proposed approach for optimizing web search by incorporating user feedback to improve result rankings. The approach uses keyword analysis on the user query to initially retrieve and rank relevant web pages. It then analyzes user responses like likes/dislikes and visit counts to update the page rankings. Experimental results on sample education queries show how page rankings change as user responses increase likes for certain pages. The approach aims to provide more useful search results by better reflecting individual user preferences.
The document discusses the key features and capabilities of search in SharePoint 2013, including personalized search results, continuous crawling, query rules to customize search results, managed metadata and refiners to improve relevance, and analytics to track search usage and improve recommendations. It provides details on result sources, query rules, display templates, and various analytics features to enhance the search experience.
Web content mining mines content from websites like text, images, audio, video and metadata to extract useful information. It examines both the content of websites as well as search results. Web content mining helps understand customer behavior, evaluate website performance, and boost business through research. It can classify content into categories like web page content mining and search result mining.

Query Recommendation by using Collaborative Filtering ApproachIRJET Journal
This document proposes a system called QDMiner to mine query facets from the top search results for a query. It uses collaborative filtering techniques to recommend the top-k results that are most relevant to a user's interests.
QDMiner first retrieves the top search results from a search engine. It then mines frequent lists from the HTML tags and free text within the results to identify query facets. It groups common lists and ranks the facets and items based on their appearances. QDMiner represents the search results in two models: the Unique Website Model and Context Similarity Model, to order the query facets.
To recommend results, QDMiner uses collaborative filtering techniques including item-based and user-based

Structured data and metadata evaluation methodology for organizations looking to improve image findability on the web emily kolvitz_2014
1. Structured Data and Metadata Evaluation Methodology for
Organizations Looking to Improve Image Findability on the Web
School of Library and Information Studies
LIS 5733 Taught by: Dr. Susan Burke
Research Proposal Written by: Emily Kolvitz
Research Setting: Primarily Geared Towards Online Ecommerce/Business Organizations, but methodology could
easily translate to Galleries, Museums, Archives, Libraries (GLAMs) or any institution looking to evaluate their
structured data and metadata practices on the world wide web in an effort to improve findability of product offerings,
general information or services.
2. Introduction
The current state of findability on the web for many organizations is incipient. Search
Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques change frequently and remain much a mystery
to many companies. The one variable in the equation of web findability that remains a
staple is good quality metadata under the hood of the website.
This research methodology will allow for :
● An assessment of findability maturity on the web from an image-centric viewpoint
● Help improve findability on the web by establishing a baseline for where your
organization is at in terms of structured data content and visualize gaps or areas
for improvement from a search engine neutral perspective
3. Introduction
● Most Searches Start with Google now (Holman 2011) (Lippincott 2013)
● Search Algorithms Shaping what is most Easily Accessible (Connaway, Dickey &
Radford 2011) and they are subject to change frequently (Kritzinger 2013)
● Search Algorithms Look for Your Structured Data and in the future and possibly
your embedded metadata (Cazier 2014) (Beall 2010)
4. Literature Review
Marshall Breeding (2013) assesses the limitations of the major search engine algorithms:
“But even with the most sophisticated relevancy
algorithms, index-based search and retrieval lacks the
ability to lead users to the potential related content.
Semantic web technologies, in conjunction with
repositories of open linked data, promise to deliver
significant new capabilities in exploring and exploiting
information resources on the web.”
5. Literature Review
● Semantic web is founded on good, high-quality
structured data
● Future technologies could potentially utilize
embedded metadata in search (Cazier 2014)
(Beall 2010) but there is authenticity,
provenance and “breadcrumbs” value now
(Reicks 2013)
6. Literature Review
● Most users don’t go past the first page of
search results (Paz 2013)
● Structured Data Practices can help your
organization stay relevant (and findable!) in
the age of information overload
● Keeping it Search Engine Neutral is
advisable (Paz 2013)
7. Topic/Proposed Research
● Methodology for establishing a baseline or benchmark of where an organization is at
in terms of structured data pertaining to image records that ultimately helps findability
on the web
● By utilizing the proposed methodology for gathering this data for an organization,
data-informed decisions can be made about structured data strategy going forward to
maintain relevancy on the web
● Many structured data elements can affect online findability from file-naming
standards, presence of alt text tags in html markup, html markup itself, embedded
metadata, schema.org markup and rich snippets, text description at or nearby images,
and more. IEEE uses metadata or full-text for search (IEEE Xplore offers this--see
next slide)
9. Topic/Proposed Research
● It is also noteworthy that there are additional factors that affect findability on
the web that do not involve structured data, but this research focuses solely on
structured data techniques within the control of individual organizations.
● All of these structured data techniques pertaining to image records will be
utilized in conjunction with the relevancy of onsite and offsite search results.
● Image search and information retrieval is a more difficult area than text search
and retrieval because accessibility to the image content is largely dependent on
side-car text (or metadata if you will) that describes the aboutness and
(hopefully) the context for the image record.
10. Questions
Research Questions Addressed in this Study
1. What methods of search are available on the organization’s online website?
1. What is the file-naming structure for images on the website?
1. What is the quality of search engine (onsite and offsite) results?
1. What kinds of search results appear in Image Search when searching by the
organization’s name and product description both with onsite search and offsite
search?
11. Questions
Research Questions Addressed in this Study
5. What kinds of search results appear in Google Image Search when searching
by images taken from the organization’s website?
5. What kinds of search results come up when looking for specific products
(measure of structured data) through onsite search and offsite search?
5. What are the results when looking for specific products on the offsite search
engine?
12. Questions
Research Questions Addressed in this Study
8. What kinds of structured data are near or around the images on the organization’s
website? Alt Text? Other?
9. What file types appear on the organization’s website? (JPEG? TIFF? PNG?)
9. What embedded metadata is available in images on the website?
11. What does the XMP/XML/RDF for these images look like and how robust is it?
What does the graph look like?
13. Variables
Quality and number
of alt text tags
Type of page
the image was
on
Level of description for the
filename
Quality and number of structured
data tags pertaining to the images
The image file naming
convention/filename
Quality and number
of embedded
metadata tags
Quality and number of search
results for onsite search
utilizing filename or alt text
Quality and number
of relevant search
results utilizing
offsite image search
These measures are operationalized by utilization of likert scales applied by the human researcher. For
example, when rating the level of description for the file-name, a research could conclude that the
filename sp_18379847923.jpg is not very descriptive filename for a human, let alone for a search engine
(unless of course this is a product sku.) The researcher would then choose to assign it a low value on
descriptiveness on a 1-5 likert scale.
14. Data Collection Methods
Participants
Participants will include a single institution, anonymized for the protection of their business. The sample of image records utilized
in this study will be limited to image assets appearing on the organization’s website domain. Most data collection can take place
from the organization’s website itself. Some procedures will take place on external sites, services, or programs.
Randomization of Sample
The sample of images utilized in this study can be randomized by extracting a site map of the particular organization of interest
using xsitemap.com. After the site map is constructed, the list of URLs should be inputted into a spreadsheet program and a record
number should be assigned to each URL. From there, the researcher can use a randomizer program to select the order of pages to
utilize in the study (i.e. Research Randomizer Available at: http://www.randomizer.org/form.htm) This method will be utilized for
taking a random sample of pages from the organization of interest.
Consent
All data collected in this study are publicly available and freely available on the web.

22. Expected Outcomes
The anticipated results of this project include a benchmark for where this specific
organization is at in terms of structured data in the online environment and a
methodology for other organizations looking to assess their structured data maturity in
the digital space. These results will be used to create a roadmap for improving resource
findability both on the web and within websites. Other organizations may also aspire to
reuse this methodology for assessing their own current state of structured data. Future
areas of research could include utilizing metadata/RDF-driven search engines in
conjuncture with Vector Space Models to assess findability of image records on the
web and within websites.
