ABSTRACT
This paper presents the use of folksonomy concepts in a software component search engine as an alternative to improve the search result quality, covering from specification to implementation. A case study was performed in order to evaluate its performance and viability. Additionally, a set of requirements to perform component search and retrieval with folksonomy are presented, beyond the architectural and implementation aspects that accomplishes the tool. The case study indicates the suit of different search techniques is better than using separately. The engine's current version combines keyword, facet-based and folksonomy search techniques.

Re-ranking search results using query logs
CIKM '06: Proceedings of the 15th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge managementThis work addresses two common problems in search, frequently occurring with underspecified user queries: the top-ranked results for such queries may not contain documents relevant to the user's search intent, and fresh and relevant pages may not get ...
Discovering the representative of a search engine
CIKM '01: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge managementGiven a large number of search engines on the Internet, it is difficult for a person to determine which search engines could serve his/her information needs. A common solution is to construct a metasearch engine on top of the search engines. Upon ...
Logsonomy - social information retrieval with logdata
HT '08: Proceedings of the nineteenth ACM conference on Hypertext and hypermediaSocial bookmarking systems constitute an established part of the Web 2.0. In such systems users describe bookmarks by keywords called tags. The structure behind these social systems, called folksonomies, can be viewed as a tripartite hypergraph of user, ...
