Relevancy and Value Ranking
375 Sept 2013

Relevancy is extremely
important and hard to pin
down.
• The central index is a BIG pile of hay.
• The search and refinement tools are rakes
• The relevancy ranking is a magnet.
Relevancy and Value Ranking
• Weighted fields
• Exact match of term with field
• Density of terms
• Currency of item
• Document type
• Document length
• Locally owned

Superior Relevance RankingThe system has the following priorities and has
no bias toward content from any provider:
1) Match on subject headings from controlled vocabularies
2) Match on article titles
3) Match on author keywords
4) Match on keywords within abstracts
5) Match on keywords within full text
Exact Matches: Exact matches are favored over partial matches –
considering also the field in which those words appear (abstract vs.
full text vs. title, etc.)
Density: The number of times the word(s) appears relative to the size of
the document (more is better) – considering also the field in which those
words appear (abstract vs. full text vs. title, etc.)

Picking a WSD and Making It Yours
1. Know what you want to do with the service.
2. Pick the central index that aligns with your content and has the metadata to support discovery. Turn data sources on or off to focus the index for your users.
3. Pick a discovery layer that can surface the content your users want to find and that facilitates search behavior you want to promote.
