Searching for Resources in JeromeDL

JeromeDL presents 4 ways to search for resources:
  • A simple keyword-based search (with semantic query expansion based on your profile)
    Figure 1. Simple, keyword search
  • An advanced search based on schemata types (Dublin Core, MARC21, BibTeX)
    Figure 2. Advanced search
  • A semantic search - where you can either provide RDF query directly or use one of a couple of natural language templates (like: Show me all resources written by a friends of mine)
    Figure 3: Semantic query interface
  • A distributed search, including searching through A9.com interface
