The databases that have added the Deep Indexing feature are the following:
(Note that we no longer subscribe to most of these, but still have access to ASFA, Agricola, Environmental Sciences & Pollution Mgmt., and GeoRef. )Information resources and technologies provider ProQuest, US, has announced that the US Patent and Trademark Office has granted it patent protection on the CSA Illustrata technology. ProQuest extracts and indexes data about graphic objects in journal literature to allow it to be searched as effectively as full text. The Deep Indexing was pioneered in CSA Illustrata. This is said to have earned the database multiple industry awards for giving researchers the ability to surface relevant information that would be missed by other search methods. Deep Indexing is now available in the latest version of the ProQuest platform, allowing the innovation to be used across a much broader range of data.
ProQuest's Deep Indexing creates metadata from the elements within illustrations so these graphics - including table, charts, photos and drawings - can be searched for relevant content. Before the debut of ProQuest's new unified platform, the technology was available for scientific and technology journals. Deep Indexing now becomes one of the platform's advanced content management tools that can be used across ProQuest data.
Migration to the new ProQuest platform is seen to be in full swing around the world, with hundreds of libraries up and running successfully. Built from the ground up, the new platform is claimed to be based on years of extensive student observations, surveys of more than 6,000 end users, focus groups and individual interviews. It is also supported by ongoing interactions with users, librarians and faculty. Its core is said to be a single platform for all content, offering a consolidated user experience.
