How is this digital library different than others that contain similar collections of international treaties and conventions?
9A. Other environmental policy digital libraries generate ranked lists that hide relationships within and between policy documents for a given query. Moreover, the other digital libraries only provide access to the parent documents, which requires you to search sequentially through each policy document (one at a time) for the text that is relevant to your search query. In contrast, based on the Digital Integration System (DigIn) applications (please see the INTEGRATION STRATEGIES page), this digital library dynamically generates expandable-collapsible hierarchies that comprehensively and objectively identify relevant relationships within and between the policy documents. Because these results are comprehensive, you are able to analyze the results quantitatively to interpret institutional overlaps and conceptual trends (e.g., environmental protection strategies over time).
