Outline of Final Research Achievements

Skillful sharing of the intentions of search and their results is quite important to enable collaborative exploration to be smoothly conducted. However, such sharing is usually difficult for explorers since they often face difficulties in expressing search intentions into queries and suffer from the troublesome in page selection. Such problems become more serious for novices. This research was aimed at showing new possibility of cultivation support of the consideration abilities of search strategies in collaborative exploration. Specifically, methods for extracting the gap of actual browsing against search intentions and that of the difference of search directions among collaborative explorers were respectively developed along with the support system capable of synthetic management of the histories and deliverables involved in Web explorations. Finally, the functions that suggest these differences in search contexts to explorers were implemented on the system.
