Constructing Indices from Citations in Collections of Research Papers.
Bradshaw, Shannon; Hammond, Kristian – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
Rosetta, an indexing and retrieval system indexes papers in a collection based on the way they have been described when referenced by other papers in the collection. Using Rosetta, simple natural language queries retrieve high-precision results in which descriptions based on citations clearly summarize retrieved papers, allowing users to quickly…
