VisArchive: a time and relevance based visual interface for searching, browsing, and exploring project archives

Abstract

Background: Project archives are becoming increasingly large and complex. On construction projects in particular, the increasing amount of information and the increasing complexity of its structure make searching and exploring information in the project archive challenging and time-consuming. Methods: This research investigates a query-driven approach that represents new forms of contextual information to help users understand the set of documents resulting from queries of construction project archives. Specifically, this research extends query-driven interface research by representing three types of contextual information: (1) the temporal context is represented in the form of a timeline to show when each document was created; (2) the search-relevance context shows exactly which of the entered keywords matched each document; and (3) the usage context shows which project participants have accessed or modified a file.

“…According to statistics, the capacity of steel structure with the same area is 25% more than that of concrete structure. In fact, it increases the use value of steel structure engineering, reduces the production cost and improves the economic benefits of engineering [9][10].…”
