Abstract

This study aims to provide a method of extracting the most recent information on US patent documents. An HTML paring technique that can directly connect to the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Web page is adopted. After obtaining a list of 50 documents through a keyword searching method, this study suggested an algorithm, using HTML parsing techniques, which can extract a patent number, an applicant, and the US patent class information. The study also revealed an algorithm by which we can extract both patents and subsequent patents using their closely connected relationship, that is a very distinctive characteristic of US patent documents. Although the proposed method has several limitations, it can supplement existing databases effectively in terms of timeliness and comprehensiveness.

초록

최근 다양한 주제 분야의 블로그가 이용자의 정보요구를 충족시켜주는 웹 정보원 중 하나로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 블로그 페이지의 검색 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 이용자가 부여한 태그 및 트랙백을 이용하여 블로그 페이지의 검색 실험을 수행하였다. 실험을 위해 4,908개의 블로그 페이지와 각 페이지에 트랙백으로 연결된 다른 블로그 페이지의 URL을 수집하였다. 검색 자질로 본문의 용어에 이용자 태그를 추가하였을 경우와 네트워크 중심성 값을 반영하였을 경우 모두 검색 성능이 향상되었고, 본문 용어와 이용자 태그를 검색 자질로 함께 사용하고 여기에 중심성 값을 반영하였을 경우 가장 좋은 성능을 보였다.

Abstract

Blogs are now one of the major information resources on the web. The purpose of this study is to enhance the performance of blog retrieval by means of user assigned tags and trackback information. To this end, retrieval experiments were performed with a dataset of 4,908 blog pages together with their associated trackback URLs. In the experiments, text terms, user tags, and network centrality values based on trackbacks were variously combined as retrieval features. The experimental results showed that employing user tags and network centrality values as retrieval features in addition to text words could improve the performance of blog retrieval.
