INDIAN STATISTICAL INSTITUTE Documentation Research and Training Centre 8th Mile Mysore Road Bangalore – 560059 Seminar on A Comparison of Indexing Tools in Digital Libraries Abstract: Digital library is no more a new term to the world. Many digital library instances are live on web. Technological requirements of a DL depends on the characteristics of its collection and the requirements of the users. DL deals with documents in different formats , images and other multimedia materials etc. The most important point to be considered while choosing a DL software should be how it indexes, what it indexes and what search facilities it provide. As the DL collections are increasing day by day its necessary to evaluate the existing indexing and searching facilities provided by different DL packages. Efficient retrieval of information in DL depends on the back end process such as indexing, searching and ranking. Now DL developers have more choice in selecting the software as plenty of them are available as either free of cost or proprietary, This study is an attempt to compare the indexing and searching facilities provided by MGI, MG II and Lucene.
