Relevance in processing search queries to bibliographic and fulltext databases in the modern models of scientific research support through open archives

RNPLS&T has been developing the model Single Open Information Archive (SOIA) to integrate all digital fulltext resources created and acquired by the Library. Beside its own content sources, the SOIA portal is to offer user services, among them use of other open repositories’ metadata (primarily that of Russian repositories) as the complementary source in processing of user search queries. Today, the functionality of extended metadata in information retrieval and data exchange has been being studied. This calls for investigating into the problem of relevance in processing search queries for both end users and for exchanging bibliographic and fulltext information between open archives. The purpose of this analysis is to specify the methods and technologies to increase the relevance. The findings of the analysis are cite; the revealed problems are characterized.
