Retrieval of heterogeneous services in C2 NIWA repository

The paper reviews the methods used for retrieval of information and services. The selected approaches presented in the review inspired us to build retrieval mechanisms in a system for searching the resources stored in the C2 NIWA repository. We describe the architecture of the system, its functions and the surrounding subsystems to which it is related. For retrieval of C2 NIWA services we propos three approaches based on: keyword search, hierarchical catalog and searching with the use of a specification of meta values. The proposed functionality allows us to increase the visibility of the University competences. We propose a module for managing external proposals to carry out cooperative projects using the know-how of the University.
