Digital humanities research relies on the development of searchable information systems and databases. While the types of searches that digital humanities scholars conduct are complex in nature, the search interfaces built into such systems are modelled after simple web search interfaces. Recent research on supporting complex search tasks within academic digital libraries has shown the value of supporting exploratory search processes via search interface design. In this proposed research, we will conduct a feasibility study of enabling exploratory search within the Europeana Repository using search interface innovations recently developed within our research group. This research includes collaboration with renowned scholars in digital humanities and information behaviour in the United Kingdom, and will produce research results that are transferrable to Canadian digital humanities archives.

数字人文科学研究依赖于可搜索的信息系统和数据库的开发。尽管数字人文学者行为的搜索类型本质上很复杂，但内置在此类系统中的搜索接口是按照简单的Web搜索接口建模的。关于支持学术数字库中复杂搜索任务的最新研究表明，通过搜索界面设计支持探索性搜索过程的价值。在这项拟议的研究中，我们将使用最近在我们的研究小组内开发的搜索界面创新来进行可行性研究，以实现欧洲存储库中的探索性搜索。这项研究包括与英国著名的数字人文科学学者和信息行为的合作，并将产生可转让给加拿大数字人文档案的研究结果。
