Background: Many patients use online resources to educate themselves on surgical procedures and make well-informed healthcare decisions. The aim of our study was to evaluate the quality and readability of online resources exploring shoulder arthroplasty. Methods: An internet search pertaining to shoulder arthroplasty (partial, anatomic, and reverse) was conducted using the three most popular online search engines. The top 25 results generated from each term in each search engine were included. Webpages were excluded if they were duplicates, advertised by search engines, subpages of other pages, required payments or subscription, or were irrelevant to our scope. Webpages were classified into different source categories. Quality of information was assessed by HONcode certification, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria, and DISCERN benchmark criteria. Webpage readability was assessed using the Flesch reading ease score (FRES). Results: Our final dataset included 125 web pages. Academic sources were the most common with 45 web pages (36.0%) followed by physician/private practice with 39 web pages (31.2%). The mean JAMA and DISCERN scores for all web pages were 1.96±1.31 and 51.4±10.7, respectively. The total mean FRES score was 44.0±11.0. Only nine web pages (7.2%) were HONcode certified. Websites specified for healthcare professionals had the highest JAMA and DISCERN scores with means of 2.92±0.90 and 57.96±8.91, respectively (P<0.001). HONcode-certified webpages had higher quality and readability scores than other web pages. Conclusions: Web-based patient resources for shoulder arthroplasty information did not show high-quality scores and easy readability. When presenting medical information, sources should maintain a balance between readability and quality and should seek HONcode certification as it helps establish the reliability and accessibility of the presented information. Level of evidence: IV.

The number of digital camera users is increasing rapidly and countless number of photos floats about on the internet especially through wide-spreading Cyworld and blogs. Though portraits cover a large percentage of those photos, because of the property rights, near entirety or such photos are unavailable for use by web-page producers, advertising companies, web-designers, and so on, who need a variety of portraits with differing expressions and characteristics. This study offers a search engine that incorporates image characteristics based on natural language index, which can provide a fast and reliable search result. It will create an opportunity for the digital photographers to mure easily sell their pictures and simultaneously provide the would-be users of the photos a better and easier way to find the pictures they are looking for. Once the search engine is realized, it will become possible to use not only the nouns as keywords and categories but also verbs in search of portraits revealing feelings, expressions, dressings, and other characteristics.

The dynamic nature of the World Wide Web challenges Search engines to find relevant and recent pages. Obtaining important pages rapidly can be very useful when a crawler cannot visit the entire Web in a reasonable amount of time. In this paper we study way spiders that should visit the URLs in order to obtain more “important” pages first. We define and apply several metrics, ranking formula for improving crawling results. The comparison between our result and Breadth-first Search (BFS) method shows the efficiency of our experiment system.

As use of internet generalized laying stress on WWW(World Wide Web) service of multimedia based recently, we could acquire many informations that exist to all over the world's computer network. It is risen to important problem that use of internet acquires correct information rapidly on modem society which is generalized. This paper designed internet search engine and understand structure of that drawing URL which is optimized, and secure embodiment technology using OOPL(Object-Oriented Programming Language). Also, compare with existent domestic manufacture search engines and system that propose showed that the bad link rate is improved in this paper.

WWW is an important method for retrieving or providing informations. Not only the amount of information but also it is widely located on the web, it is difficult for users to get or search information. Furthermore, to use search engine is also inconvenient, because it just uses a keyword without concerning a user's interest. At this point, we propose a design of web agent that uses the automatic document categorization system and user's profile concerning with a user's interest, so the agent can actively provide a information.

The purpose of this study is to identify important web pages in a particular area The basic premise is that citation analysis can show a similar relationship among different web pages. Web pages about‘weather’were found using a search engine Each web page was examined by hyperlink from other web pases and/or to other web pages. After this process, seven web pases are linked by many web pages. Seven web pages were analyzed by co-citation analysis. The result shows that selected web pages are linked by characteristics of information provided.

The research of science and engineering needs the latest information from internet resources. But it is a complex and repeated procedure to search and filter web documents from the huge Internet resources. In this paper, we propose the PREA system, which can organize the research paper databases and search World Wide Web documents that the user is interested in. It observes the usage of the local Paper databases and presented web documents and then constructs a profile intelligently. However, to make a profile, we used the modified spreading activation network(MSAN) so that the PREA can search and filter web documents by semantic meaning of user's interest in realtime. The system constructed in multi-agents manner that can cooperate together effectively. The results show the effectiveness of our system to search web documents compared with a commercial search engine.

There have been extensive studies done on webometrics, particularly on the impact of websites and the web impact factor. The present study analyzed the websites of ICAR organizations, according to the webometrics indicator. It examines and explores the 92 ICAR organizational websites in India and identifies a number of web pages and link pages, and calculates the Overall Web Impact Factor (WIF) and Absolute Web Impact Factor (WIF). In this study, all websites were analyzed and data extracted using Google search engine. It suggests that Web Impact Factors can be calculated as a way of comparing the attractiveness of web sites or domains on the Web.

In this paper, we present a novel system to categorize web image search results using emotional concepts and to browse the results more conveniently and easily. The proposed system can categorize search results into 8 emotional categories based on emotion vector, which obtained by color and pattern features. Here, we use Kobayashi’s emotional categories: {romantic, natural, casual, elegant, chic, classic, dandy and modern}. With search results for a given query, the proposed system can provide categorized images for each emotional category. With 1,000 Yahoo! search images, we compared the proposed method with Yahoo! image search engine in respect of satisfaction, efficiency, convenience and relevance with a user study. Our experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In Web2.0 environment, with advanced platform technologies, global vendors such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo provide competitive geospatial services based on global map and satellite image. But the relatively low level of platform technologies has not rapidly increased the land information and geospatial service markets in Korea. For the ubiquitous next generation Internet, as a one of the R&D projects by Korean Land Spatialization Group, the project for platform technologies has being made to provide customized land information and geospatial service. The platform technologies can be categorized for streamming, mashup and geosearch. More specifically, the 2D/3D Hybird streamming engine, mashup engine for u-GIS service and next generation search engine for land information have being developed. In this context, the strategies for efficient development and use of geoweb platform technologies are required. This study surveys the present geospatial products and services using of platform technologies to propose the strategies for efficient development and use of platform technologies. The strategies for efficient development and use of platform technologies can be proposed focusing on target market and each of platform technologies.
