|
| BOW respects the interests of the various contributors (publishers, diffusers, users) regrouped by a central provider of bibliographic information, by centering the technology on the following poles:
|
|
|
|
|
| Active and passive protection of data, and management of digital rights (by certification and complete security).
|
|
| The integration of multiple models of businesses, from print book ordering to online subscriptions (for the companies, education, integrators or B2B/B2C subscribers);
|
|
| Unequalled performances and facility of use of the book search and rendering systems;
|
|
| The simplicity of implementation, for data upload (PDF, with XML in option), the digital rights and the portal creation
|
|
|
|
|
| BvDEP also provides an independent and centralized service of management of rights (Central DRMö) which makes it possible to manage and to certify both publishers and search engines (incl. BOW).
|
|
|
|
|
| BOW can easily contain 100.000 books in full text, on a system which offers response times under the threshold of the second and the availability ratios close to 100%.

| | Safari: Going to the next generation with BlitzHit | 五月 31 2005 | |
|
|
|
|
| When two leading publishers of technical information wanted to transform
|
|
| concept into reality, they tapped into the expertise of Bureau van Dijk Electronic Publishing (BvDEP) for development, support and hosting.
|
|
|
|
|
| The Concept? Using the Web to provide a virtual library of technical books.
|
|
|
|
|
| The reality? The highly successful Safari Books Online, LLC, a joint venture of OReilly & Associates and Pearson Technology Group, has become the premier electronic reference library for programmers and Information Technology (IT) professionals.
|
|
|
|
|
| Blitzhit indexing and ranking agents use a large set of methods to mark relevancy for every word in every context, using word frequency, word location, and contextual data derived from the XML tagging. The indexing process uses complex ternary trees enabling incredibly fast index building handling millions of words in just minutes. The relevancy determination algorithms use intelligent lexical analysis methods and fast set intersection and union algorithms as well as various statistical methods, which calculate and utilize important factors such as word proximity, word frequency, relative rank valuation, per-document word frequency and weight.
|
|
|
|
|
| BvDEP has developed BlitzHit, consisting of the core search engine and ranking technology for books and journals. BlitzHit can be used to index local repositories as well as external sources.
|
|
|
|
|
| BlitzHit is a highly effective, scalable, relevant XML search engine. It provides an XML client API and web services with which search partners can integrate BlitzHit, using SOA.
|
|
|
|
|
| BlitzHit indexing and ranking agents use a large set of methods to mark relevancy for every word in every context, using word frequency, word location, contextual data derived from the XML tagging or web spidering, and a set of other variables that have been determined through fine tuning to contribute to overall relevancy.
|
|
|
|
|
| BlitzHit features customised contextual searches, such as name search, location search, keyword search or web search through sophisticated search syntax with Boolean, context and proximity operators.
|
|
|
|
|
| BlitzHit dynamically builds structured views (dynamic views, also called navigatorsö) on the result set, based on predefined categorisation of the entries. This concept allows interactive drilling down into any data set without preliminary knowledge of the data structure.
|
|
|
|
|
| BlitzHit also features a spell checker and the ability to integrate a thesaurus for synonym search or inflected forms.
|
|
|
|
|
| In addition to creating and hosting the database, BvDEP also provides full back-end and administrative support. A usage "statistics dashboard" gives live data on the latest searches, numbers of hits plus more detailed statistics such as the most commonly used search criteria and comparisons between specific dates.

It can be used to index local repositories as well as external sources.
