Specialized
Web Design Services
In
collaboration with CAMS Ltd. of
Cochin, India, we have developed
specialized services to support
Web deployment of online catalogs
of statistical resources. We also
offer a host of associated web design
services.

The Problem
Statistical information is generated by a large number of organizations
including numerous federal agencies,
state and local governments and private
companies and organizations. Researchers
and ordinary citizens often have difficulty
finding the appropriate reports of
these statistics. Web site sponsors
frequently want to offer their users
information about related statistical
resources but find it difficult to
find, track and maintain this information |
Current Resources
Companies such as LexisNexis™
offer comprehensive coverage of these
resources to large organizations—such
as Universities. However, these services
are not targeted to the specific needs
of organizations that produce, analyze
or use specific parts this large and
unorganized stockpile. As well, some
websites may contain thousands of
reports, tables and graphs. Webmasters
look for ways to help their users
navigate their own resources and find
related statistical information. |
Our
Solution
Finding and using statistical
resources can be greatly enhanced
by integrating databases that help
users locate websites with specific
information. While search engines
can help, they often cannot find the
specific information needed because
they lack appropriate descriptions.
Library catalogs provide similar information
about published books, but do not
cover information and reports appearing
on the Web. To meet the need for this
information, Dan Melnick Research
collaborated with CAMS Ltd. to develop
an approach that combines library
cataloging and a database application
to make this kind of information available
on Websites. |
