Abstract
Today, users expect a variety of digital libraries to be searchable from a single Web page. The German Vascoda project provides this service for dozens of information sources. Its ultimate goal is to provide search quality close to the ranking of a central database containing documents from all participating libraries. Currently, however, the Vascoda portal is based on a non-cooperative metasearch approach, where results from sources are merged randomly and ranking quality is sub-optimal. In this paper, we describe a Lucene-based plugin which replaces this method by a truly federated search across different search engines, where the exchange of document statistics improves document ranking. Preliminary evaluation results show ranking results equal to a centralized setup.
