Summary:
Relevancy ranking is an important component of making a data repository's search system responsive to data seekers’ needs. The Research Data Alliance (RDA) Data Discovery Paradigms Interest Group (https://www.rd-alliance.org/groups/data-discovery-paradigms-ig) is a collaborative activity within our data community which aims to improve data searchability. This survey is intended to gather information about the current practices and lessons learnt by data repositories in implementing relevancy ranking in search systems. We expect that analysis of the survey results will:
- Help data repositories choose appropriate technologies when implementing or improving their search functionality;
- Provide a means for sharing experiences in improving relevancy ranking;
- Capture the aspirations, successes and challenges encountered from research data repository managers;
- Help the Data Discovery Paradigms Interest group align future activities on data search improvement with the interests of data search service providers.
