Subject: RE: [search-ws] Scan as a query type
You cannot ask for the 10th term in an index. You cannot specify the "term number" of the term "beethoven" in a particular index. Indexes are not cardinal.

Cardinality? I'm dubious. I actually think the termlist is more likely to have cardinality than the result set. We had major discussion of this at the 2006 meeting (unfortunately you weren't there), about what to do with the mandatory result count parameter when so many search engines can't provide it. --Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "LeVan,Ralph" <levan@oclc.org> To: "Ray Denenberg, Library of Congress" <rden@loc.gov>; <search-ws@lists.oasis-open.org> Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 3:05 PM Subject: RE: [search-ws] Scan as a query type I don't think so. The result of a query is an ordered set of documents with cardinality. The result of a scan is an ordered set of terms without cardinality.

Is it reasonable to consider modelling scan as a query type? --Ray --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that generates this mail.
