Michalis Sfakakis and Sarantos Kapidakis, Eliminating Query Failures in a Work-Centric Library Meta-Search Environment, Library Hi Tech 27:2 (DOI: 10.1108/07378830910968236).

Abstract: Purpose – This paper aims to describe how approaches such as semantic based query rewritings and FRBR work entities composition could solve existing problems and improve the overall behavior of a mediated based meta-search environment. Moreover, it aims to present meta-Composer, which is a meta-search engine without query failures that composes work level entities for display, as well as an autonomous open service for discovering substitutions of unsupported access points, in the context of the Z39.50 environment.
