Evaluating Dynamic Linking through the Query Process using the Licas Test Platform

TL;DR

This paper evaluates a dynamic linking mechanism in an information network using a newly re-designed test platform, confirming previous findings and demonstrating its effectiveness across new test scenarios.

Contribution

It introduces a new version of the test platform and provides updated results validating the dynamic linking mechanism's performance.

Findings

Linking mechanism remains effective in new scenarios

Test platform redesign supports original conclusions

Demonstrates robustness of the linking approach

Abstract

A novel linking mechanism has been described previously [4] that can be used to autonomously link sources that provide related answers to queries executed over an information network. The test query platform has now been re-written resulting in essentially a new test platform using the same basic query mechanism, but with a slightly different algorithm. This paper describes recent test results on the same query test process that supports the original findings and also shows the effectiveness of the linking mechanism in a new set of test scenarios.
