Abstract
To support users in identifying relevant information in the medical web, on the one hand, standards for medical web content were defined to allow certification of quality health information (e.g. the HONcode certification[30]). However, such certificate does not help a user to assess the diverse aspects of web content. Therefore, on the other hand, users need support in finding relevant content by more sophisticated search facilities. Existing web and medical blog search engines (e.g., Medworm [162]) list search results matching query keywords in a flat list. Diversity is—if at all—only considered by presenting different results in the top N positions. In this chapter, a system architecture for a retrieval engine is introduced that allows to exploit (medical) domain specific notions of diversity.
