Subject: Re: browsing vs. searching and access rights


Hi Duane,

Just a point of clarification regarding your phrase within an ebXML compliant Registry/ Repository. This discussion is in terms of the OASIS specification and not the ebXML specification.  However I do realize its relevance to ebXML as well.

Your definitions of browsing and searching are quite correct.  The onus
will be on RegRep to provide the latter as the approach for locating
information within an ebXML compliant Registry/ Repository becuase
browsing cannot be accurately done automatically by an application.
Searching in a contextual manner is the only acceptable access method
for an application. IN other words,  you cannot just say find me "foo"
becuase "foo" may appear in one or more contexts within the registry
index.  It wouldhave to be "foo" within the context of "GUID".

For a human search interface, the browsing is very useful because it
allows a classification scheme to be used to guide the user to the
correct information.
