What are the limitations of current digital-information mining strategies?
To create the functionality of organization and access, current technologies necessarily contaminate authentic digital information with mark-up language tags. EvREsearch implements that same functionality with increased granularity but without any mark-up tags or other alterations of the original digital resource.Similarly, metadata tags have become an industry standard to facilitate the searchability of electronic information. However, the expansion of metadata is outpacing the actual information content that is of interest to the user. Moreover, because metadata is separated from the digital records, there is the risk for decoupling and effectively losing the information resource. Combined, the limitations of metadata and mark-up tags threaten the implementation of persistent archives of authentic digital resources.
