Multilingual Search in Libraries. The case-study of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano
Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2006)
Abstract
This paper presents an on-going project aiming at enhancing the OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) search system of the Library of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano with multilingual access. The Multilingual search system (MUSIL), we have developed, integrates advanced linguistic technologies in a user friendly interface and bridges the gap between the world of free text search and the world of conceptual librarian search. In this paper we present the architecture of the system, its interface and preliminary evaluations of the precision of the search results.
