A search engine dedicated to the environment around the Congo basin area: Model and Architecture

Considering the environmental field around the Congo Basin area (in Central Africa), many initiatives implement and communicate on their activities via the internet, yet the information they provide remains very little exploited, even inaccessible.

description Considering the environmental field around the Congo Basin area (in Central Africa), many initiatives implement and communicate on their activities via the internet, yet the information they provide remains very little exploited, even inaccessible. The data is scattered on the internet and it is quite difficult to find information in a fairly precise way. Despite the existence of Internet research services (search engines) developed to facilitate the search for information in the vast data network that is the Internet, there are still concerns about quality, and the relevance of information provided in as research results. In this context, we present in this paper a construction approach and the architecture of a search engine dedicated to the environment around the Congo Basin area. This paper develops a theoretical approach that uses scientific analysis and empirical approaches to conceptualize the optimization of the relevance of the results of a thematic search engine by aggregating tools. This approach is a compilation of ideas, methods and tools that, put together, will improve the relevance of the results of a thematic research.
