Title
A Search/Crawl Framework for Automatically Acquiring Scientific Documents.
Abstract
Despite the advancements in search engine features, ranking methods, technologies, and the availability of programmable APIs, current-day open-access digital libraries still rely on crawl-based approaches for acquiring their underlying document collections. In this paper, we propose a novel search-driven framework for acquiring documents for scientific portals. Within our framework, publicly-available research paper titles and author names are used as queries to a Web search engine. Next, research papers and sources of research papers are identified from the search results using accurate classification modules. Our experiments highlight not only the performance of our individual classifiers but also the effectiveness of our overall Search/Crawl framework. Indeed, we were able to obtain approximately 0.665 million research documents through our fully-automated framework using about 0.076 million queries. These prolific results position Web search as an effective alternative to crawl methods for acquiring both the actual documents and seed URLs for future crawls.
