Server-provided ratings(In subject trees, link collections, search engine results)This is a proposal for possible use as a method of providing SELECT rating services. The idea is to get existing providers of web pages, subject trees, link collections and search engine to add SELECT info into the output. We can probably not get the large search engines to adopt our technology (they will want to do it their own way), but there are lots of smaller web page collections and search engines, who might benefit from combining their services with SELECT ratings. Note 1: The links below are just examples of what we might do. Note 2: The actual HTML behind these pages is not the right one, they are just mockups to look right without the right content behind them. Links to demonstration mockups

Comparison of this to local proxy
techniques

Advantage with local proxy techniqueYou can get and provide ratings on any web page, anywhere in the world. |
|
Advantage with server-added rating infoAnyone who sees a web page will also see ratings on links, and be allowed to add own ratings. Thus, this is a method of getting people, who have not before heard of SELECT, to know of and get interest in SELECT. |

Technical specificationIn addition to the proxy solution and the bookmark solution, there is a third method of adding rating. This third method is to add select directly into existing subject trees and web pages. The advantage with this third method, is that anyone who visits a subject tree or web page with rating, will see the ratings. The user need not download and install any proxy, nor set up a special bookmark. In this way, rating in existing web pages can be a marketing tool for SELECT, people will see the rating information and want to know more. A disadvantage, of course, is that rating is not universal, it is only available in pages prepared for this. But this can also be an advantage, in that universal rating has the sparse matrix problem, and rating of special link collections will not so much have that problem. I have made a mock-up of the user interface for such rating in existing web pages, link collections and subject trees. You can find the mock-up at a number of web pages, starting from http://cmc.dsv.su.se/select/subject/rating-in-subject-trees. html. Note: This is just a user interface mock-up, the HTML behind it is not correct. To implement this, we need to do the following:
Question: Can we implement this? If yes, which partners can do what part of the work? Note: This can partly be seen as an exploitation issue, because doing this may be a good way of getting our service known. Details about the new web resourcesdice.gif(a variant stars.gif with red stars in a row is also easy to develop, I describe below the dice version.) When a user retrieves "http://rated.it/dice.gif?http://foo.bar/foobar.html" the following will be done by the server:
frame-it.htmlhttp://rated.it/frame-it.html?http://foo.bar/foobar.html will return a web page with approximately the following HTML content:
rate.html http://rated.it/rate?http://foo.bar/foobar.html will return a web page with approximately the following HTML content (this is rather similar to what SZTAKI has already developed):
This will look something like this as an added ribbon on the top of the web page found with the subject index or search engine: (but in one long row, rather than two rows as above) The function of the different elements in this bar is:
