Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate image search query reformulation patterns in relation to image attribute categories. A total of 592 sessions and 2,445 queries from the Excite Web search engine log data were analyzed by utilizing Batley’s visual information types and two facets and seven sub-facets of query reformulation patterns. The results of this study are organized with two folds: query reformulation and categorical transition. As the most dominant categories of queries are specific and general/nameable, this tendency stays over various search stages. From the perspective of reformulation patterns, while the Parallel movement is the most dominant, there are slight differences depending on initial or preceding query categories. In examining categorical transitions, it was found that 60-80% of search queries were reformulated within the same categories of image attributes. These findings may be applied to practice and implementation of image retrieval systems in terms of assisting users’ query term selection and effective thesauri development.

본 연구는 전통적인 학술커뮤니케이션 모델이 새로운 대안적인 모델로 전환되는 과정에는 다양한 사회문화적 요인들이 작용한다는 것을 하나의 사례를 통하여 설명하고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 의학 분야의 학술커뮤니케이션을 오픈 억세스 모델로 전환시키려는 과정을 추적하면서, 첫째, 의학 분야 학회들의 협의체에서 오픈 억세스형 DB에 수록될 학술지에 대한 질적 통제장치를 중요하게 여기고 있다는 점, 로 학회 홈페이지를 통하여 오픈 억세스 방식으로 학술지 원문을 서비스하고 있다는 것을 파악하였다. 이러한 요인들은 국내 의학 분야에 오픈 억세스 모델을 적용하여 학술지 원문 DB를 구축하는데 큰 변수로 작용하고 있었다. 궁극적으로 본 연구는 오픈 억세스 등 대안적인 학술커뮤니케이션 모델을 적용하여 한다는 것을 보여준다.

Abstract

This paper explains that socio-cultural contexts affect the transition in scholarly communication. Observing the process of introducing the open access model to the field of medicine in Korea, this paper found that the first, associations of medical societies considered a quality control system very important in the construction of an open access based fulltext DB, the second, there was an medical journal DB with a quality control procedure, and the third, many medical societies provided their journals fulltext to the public on their homepages. Consequently, this paper found that these factors had an effect on the process of transition in scholarly communication in the field of medicine in Korea.
