Project composition
www.intute.ac.uk/irs PKP Conference, Vancouver, BC Canada, 9 July 2009
Knowledge Challenge for UK Research
Vast and constantly expanding range of bibliographic information stores
Open access repository movement – research / e-learning assets
Uncharted ‘supplementary data’ Unconnected islands of discovery and
innovation
www.intute.ac.uk/irs PKP Conference, Vancouver, BC Canada, 9 July 2009
Discovery to Innovation – the researcher
Initial literature review can take months
Information overload
Qualitative research poorly supported
Can’t expose relationships between
information
Managing discovery relationships within a
research team

UK IRS: Aims
Identify, develop and support high-value research knowledge communities within a search and discovery process
Encourage the embedding of repository search in familiar and day-to-day research desktop environments
Showcase the collective and collaborative UK research output and perspectives in Institutional Repositories
Deliver free targeted search and discovery facilities derived from UK HEI Institutional Repositories to support researchers and academics
Provide improved services to individuals including directed browse and dynamic navigation
Provide a richer more meaningful contextual search facility including full-text searching, text mining and other techniques

Solution: www.intute.ac.uk/irs
Conceptual Search
Text mining based search
Searches over 95 repositories and over 500K artefacts

Focussed and relevant search and discovery
Conceptual Search:
Uses Autonomy IDOLsoftware to drivecontextually relatedcontent, people andcommunities intovirtual learning &research spaces
Text Mining Search:
Uses TerMinetechnology by NaCTeM,to find relevant resultsby clicking on the mostimportant concepts andgroups similardocuments
