A SRU/SRW-based Information Retrieval System for Bibliographic Data at Library of Education

Abstract

This paper reports an information retrieval system for Japanese bibliographic data based on SRU/SRW protocol. The system consists of a client which can access to our SRU/SRW server, and of a server which provides bibliographic data for educational papers at Library of Education. The server has about 120 thousands bibliographic records of "Kyoiku-Kenkyu-Ronbun-Sakuin", and are capable for basic retrieval functions in SRU/SRW, such as Boolean queries, queries for specific search indexes, etc. Its capabilities are confirmed by using two kinds of query datasets, functional test-set and OPAC log-based one, in a batch search experiment.
