Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we propose a method for suggesting information seeking behavior to search engine users using Collaborative Reference Database operated by National Diet Library (NDL). The reason why we do not utilize access log of search engines is that Collaborative Reference Database includes IT specialist's searching procedures to get useful information, so that it is useful for the search engine users to show them, we think. As a result, the search engine users can learn how to access such the useful information to emulate the capabilities of the IT specialist without their knowledge.
One of the most impressive research outcome is our novel dependency parsing method based on hierarchical structure of Japanese Language. It can help to precisely extract information seeking behaviors from Collaborative Reference Database compared with conventional approaches.
