The purpose of this study is to suggest the guidelines for organizing and maintaining their subject directory search engines which serve effective search results of web documents. The methods of this study are to review and analyze some directory search engines for finding problems of them and review literatures concerned with classification theory and previous studies. As results, this study suggests the guidelines for preparing the systematic subject directory scheme that is adapted to the internet directory search engines related to general andlor special subject fields through using the above guidelines.

This study aims to perform an evaluation of directory services provided by major Korean search portals: Naver, Daum, Yahoo-Korea, and Empas. A directory service of Open Directory is also compared. These directory services are evaluated in terms of the coverage, category creation criteria, site selection criteria, breadth and depth of hierarchy, clarity and currency of category names, order of category listing, and overall classification system. The results of this study can be implemented for the development and improvement of portal's directory services. Users can refer to the results of this study in choosing directory services from search portals.

This paper presents a design and implementation of an extended directory system in manage and provide an effective search operation of the DFR(Document Filing and Retrieval) Object's attributes. For this, the design and implementation of a configuration model for interworking between the DFR and directory systems, an association mechanisms between two application's operation, extended directory schema and extended DIT(Directory Information Tree) are described. In a distributed environment, the interworking between the DFR and directory system implemented by using QUIPU 8.0 of ISODE(ISO Development Environment) directory system is tested. based on the result of this paper, an extended model of the directory system is proposed for proving search operation of various application's objects.

As the Internet becomes widespread as a significant tool of obtaining information, there is a growing demand for a system to efficiently organize and manage information on the Internet. Accordingly, research on the directory classification structure that directly affects the efficiency of a users information search is actively investigated in every field. The study intends to suggest an efficient classification structure by comparing and analyzing the directory classification structure of current design portal sites with the theory of literature classification structure, in order to increase the efficiency of search according to the directory classification structure of design sector.

This study was investigated to the geography services and geographical directories through Internet in order to develop a geographical directory. Research method was the examination of different type of geography services through internet and geographical directories on the Internet search engines. The results show principles for a geographical directory construction: use both geographical names and subject names on the initial directory screen, repeated use the names through directory hierarchy, locality use on bottom directory as a geographical name, and fit use of the number of directories.

In this paper, a MetaSearch algorithm for navigational queries is presented. Previous MetaSearch algorithms focused on informational queries. They Eave a high score to an overlapped document. However, the overemphasis of overlapped documents may degrade the performance of a MetaSearch algerian for a navigational query. However, if a lot of result documents are from a certain domain or a directory, then we can assume the importance of the domain or directory. Various experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness of overlap of a domain and directory names. System results from TREC and commercial search engines are used for experiments. From the results of experiments, the overlap of documents showed the better performance for informational queries. However, the overlap of domain names and directory names showed the $10\%$ higher performance for navigational queries.

The purpose of this study is to design the meta search system and the curriculum-oriented directory system for youth in science and to prove the efficiency of the systems through evaluating the usability. To attain the purpose of this study, both of the quality and quantity research method were used and questionnaire, interview. observation, thinking aloud method were used to collect a data for research. The result of this study is that the meta search system supplying convenient information use environment about the distributed information sources has higher usability than the individual search system. And the curriculum-oriented directory system supplying accessibility related with the class has higher usability than the subject-oriented directory system.

In web search engines, there are two main methods: directory searching and keyword searching. Keyword searching shows high recall rate but tends to come up with too many search results to find which users want to see the pages. Directory searching has also a difficulty to find the pages that users want in case of selecting improper category without knowing the exact category, that is, it shows high precision rates but low recall rates. We designed and implemented a new web search engine to resolve the problems of directory search method. It regards a category as a fuzzy set which contains keywords and calculate the degree of inclusion between categories. The merit of this method is to enhance the recall rate of directory searching by expanding subcategories on the basis of similarity.

This paper presents a modelling and implementation scheme of a multi directory which provides location and supplementary information of multiple applications in distributed environments. An extrended directory schema and extended DIT(Directory Information Tree) model is proposed for the multi directory. For implementation scheme, an implementation example adapted for the DFR(Document Filing and Retrieval) is shown. In addition, a configuration model for interworking between the DFR and the multi directory, an association mechanisms between two application's operations are also described. In a distributed environment, the interworking between the DFR and a multi directory implemented by using QUIPU 8.0 of ISODE(ISO Development Environment) directory system is tested. Based on the result of this paper, an extended model ofthe directory system is proposed for providing search operation of various application' objects.

Directory searching and index searching methods are two main methods in web search engines. Both of the methods are applied to most of the well-known Internet search engines, which enable users to choose the other method if they are not satisfied with results shown by one method. That is, Index searching tends to come up with too many search results, while directory searching has a difficulty in selecting proper categories, frequently mislead to false ones. In this paper, we propose a novel method in which a category hierarchy is dynamically constructed. To do this, a category is regarded as a fuzzy set which includes keywords. Similarly extensible subcategories of a category can be found using fuzzy relational products. The merit of this method is to enhance the recall rate of directory search by expanding subcategories on the basis of similarity.
