Effective bandwidth utilization is important for any distributed system. In addition, specific issues need to be addressed in order to assimilate spatio-temporal data from multiple sources. These issues include resolution of differences in datum, map-projection and time coordinate. Reduction in the complexity of data formats is a significant factor for fostering interoperability. Simplification of training is important to promote usage of the distributed system. We describe techniques that revolutionize Web-based delivery of meteorological and oceanographic data to address needs of the Naval/Marine user.","PeriodicalId":409891,"journal":{"name":"WWW Alt.

In this paper, we propose two new metrics to evaluate the performance of information retrieval: diversity, which measures the topic coverage of a group of documents, and information richness, which measures the amount of information contained in a document. Then we present a novel ranking scheme, Affinity Rank, which utilizes these two metrics to improve search results. We demonstrate how Affinity Rank works by a toy data set, and verify our method by experiments on real-world data sets.","PeriodicalId":409891,"journal":{"name":"WWW Alt.
