Infratech Email list: Healthcare Infrastructure and Technology
***************************************************************
Hello all,
I would like to point out some features of the =
INFRATECH web
archive that you may not be aware of, and to ask for some help in =
improving the
archive’s searchability.
The link to the archive is: http://infratechonline.net/=
First, what is the web archive?
It is a NON password protected web site that has =
been set up
to make the postings to our discussion group more accessible to both
subscribers and non-subscribers. I review each posting and assign =
keywords,
remove email addresses (so your email address won’t be added to =
spam
harvesters) and post to the web site.
There are now two years of postings (about 250 in =
total) on
the web site, and it becomes a more valuable knowledge base as time =
progresses.
One can search postings by date, keyword, or subject category, as well =
as doing
free text searches. An interesting feature of the web site is the =
“keyword
cloud” in the right hand column. The keywords are listed =
alphabetically,
in varying font sizes. The larger the font size, the larger the number =
of
postings that have that keyword. If you move your cursor over a keyword, =
a number
appears indicating how many postings have that keyword. If you click on =
a
keyword, all those postings are brought up on the screen in reverse =
chronological
order. One can also call up the postings for a given month, or by =
subject
heading.
It is the subject headings that I am looking for =
some help
with. Perhaps there is a subscriber out there who has some indexing =
skills. The
subject headings as they currently exist do not seem very useful. They =
are
intended to be broader categories than the keywords, but in fact the =
subject
headings are duplicates of some of the keywords.
All suggestions are most welcome.
