dc.description.abstract | Bogor Agricultural University library has metadata for its collection. The metadata is used for
searching and browsing. The activity of searching and browsing can be based on metadata fields, such
as title, author, subject, etc. Searching on the subject or topic is an effective way if someone want to
search document that fulfill his/her topic. When someone search on a subject, the result is only
documents that has the subject. So, someone needs to pick an appropriate query to find the desirable
result. The decision for picking a query is based on how good the knowledge of someone about the
collection. It will be hard if someone does not know about the collection. In that case, we need an
application that shows the relationship between the subject, so the related terms can be used as query
suggestion for someone to decide his/her query. In order to make the view of relationship more
interesting, understandable, and interactive, the relationship is visualized.
The result of this research is an implementation of a Java desktop application that searches
document based on subject and visualize subject terms relationship. The documents are from IPB
thesis metadata. From 7445 documents, 7416 documents has subject field. Obtained 4496 unique
terms from the 7416 document. From test result, the process to show document result and
visualization is fast enough. The average time to show document result and visualization is one
second. | id |
