Abstract

MERLIN grew out of an interest in exploring the cost-effective integration of automatic subject description in eprints repositories. Primarily, the project wished to demonstrate opportunities for using the tools produced by NaCTeM, the National Centre for Text Mining, over repository full text. The project additionally sought to explore opportunities for improving repository discovery through interactions between text-mined keywords and on-line thesauri, specifically the HILT tools. MERLIN used the London Universities aggregation service, LASSO, to demonstrate term extraction and thesaurus integration with full text repository content. A user interface was developed to support the extended functionality. Formative evaluation, user testing and final evaluation all preceded the release of an open source, re-usable web application, to allow the MERLIN metadata enrichment technology to be incorporated into any repository on any platform.
