建立服务可扩展型机构知识库方法探索——中国农业大学机构知识库构建与服务实践

Research on Methods of Building an Expandable Institutional Repository: Constructing China Agricultural University Institutional Repository to Deliver Effective Services

【目的】针对IR建设中普遍存在的内容不足与利用效率不高的问题进行实践性方法探索。【应用背景】在国内外多数IR数据量少且用户服务功能不够丰富的背景下,开展中国农业大学机构知识库(CAUIR)内容广泛收集与扩展服务建设。【方法】基于CAUIR的工作实践,从IR内容建设和服务功能扩展两方面,说明构建服务可扩展型IR的具体技术措施,并用统计数据证明扩展IR服务功能可提高内容的利用率。【结果】CAUIR服务已扩展到13个专题,形成了系列服务。6年来用户登录总量超过1 129万,日均超过5 000。【结论】实践证明扩展面向普通用户的IR服务功能是提高IR内容利用效率的有效措施。

[Objective] Practical methods are investigated to address common problems regarding lack of contents and low utilization that Institutional Repositories （IR） are confronted with. [Context] Most of IRs worldwide face the challenges regarding shortage of data/contents and limited customer service functions. To tackle these issues, extensive collections of contents are added to China Agricultural University Institutional Repository （CAUIR）, enabling the delivery of extended services. [Methods] Based on successful implementation of extensible IR at CAU, technical details are presented on content construction, and extension of service function. Usage data of CAUIR proves that extending IR services can improve utilization. [Results] CAUIR has been extended to thirteen topics, and provides a series of services. Over the past six years, total of user logins has been reached 11.29 million, and five thousand user logins are carried out per day on average. [Conclusions] Practice in the construction of CAUIR proves that expanding IR service function for ordinary users is an effective measure to increase IR utilization.
