Abstract:
Author searching is traditionally based on the matching of name strings.
Special characteristics of authors as personal names and subject indicators
are not considered. This makes it difficult to identify a set of related
authors or to group authors by subjects in retrieval systems. In this paper,
we describe the design and implementation of a prototype visualization
system to enhance author searching. The system, called AuthorLink, is based
on author co-citation analysis and visualization mapping algorithms such as
Kohonen's feature maps and Pathfinder networks. AuthorLink produces
interactive author maps in real time from a database of 1.26 million records
supplied by the Institute for Scientific Information. The maps show subject
groupings and more fine-grained intellectual connections among authors.
Through the interactive interface the user can take advantage of such
information to refine queries and retrieve documents through point-and-click
manipulation of the authors' names. (C) 2002 Elsevier Ltd. All rights
