Abstract:Do you know this feeling when you can't find something you wrote a
few months ago? It should be in some folder somewhere in your file
system, but somehow your interpretation of the directory structure
must have been different when you filed it. You start asking cats
and dogs about it but they spend a long time searching without
success. And things get even worse if you search something someone
else wrote.
We wondered what would happen if you take a full-featured search
engine, a few indexing tools for different file formats and a little
bit of our own technology, put it all together and shake it
well. The result of this experiment is a little document retrieval
tool we call "Docco" and which allows you to do rather complex
queries on your document collection, for which the results are
retrieved fast and displayed in a structured way. We love it -- will
you?
The talk will give a quick introduction into the idea, the tools
used and then go straight into a demo of the result. The demo will
run live on some DSTC collection, at the moment we aim for at least
the website, most likely we will be able to run on all documents
found on the shared network drives.
