Title

Search-Aid: A Mark-Up Language And Interpreter To Provide Online Documentation For Database Searchers.

Abstract

Searching bibliographic databases is a knowledge-intensive endeavor, requiring expertise in the use of retrieval systems as well as in the search content area. SEARCH-AID, the personal-computer-based system described in this paper, facilitates the preparation and presentation of example search sessions along with associated annotation. The example search sessions, which we call double prime scripts double prime , may be used for training novices, for recording expertise for personal re-use, or for transferring search knowledge from one expert searcher to another. The scripts may contain examplars of search content area or retrieval system knowledge. SEARCH-AID may be used while online with a remote database system, requiring the use of a terminal emulation program on the PC in a concurrent mode. SEARCH-AID is designed specifically to support database searching in technology transfer but is applicable in all domains of computer database retrieval.
