Abstract:
Exploratory search is a complex, long-lasting and highly iterative process. Users may have only a vague or an open-ended information need that is likely to change during the search process. Besides the insufficient domain knowledge, most users lack experience in efficient information search. Hence, they have to be guided during the search process by strategic recommendations. In this work, we present an overview of our strategy-oriented search platform that derives appropriate composite web applications from recommended and preferred search strategies with respect to the current user and search context. Moreover, we give a glimpse into our meta-model of search strategies, which represent best practices on how to solve search problems and are described using hierarchical task models.
