Documents

This section is a collection of documents, similar to how Google displays search results. When users search in Strix, they get a list of documents from the selected collections. The documents are shown with a preview only, allowing users to quickly scan the content. When a user clicks on a document, the full document opens, providing detailed insights into its structure, semantics, and key information.

Each document in the collection is displayed as shown in the figure below. Here’s what users can expect to see for each document:

  1. Title
    The title of the document. A quick glance at the title gives users an idea of the document's content.

  2. Text
    A preview of the text in the document (usually the first 50 tokens). This snippet helps users decide if the document is relevant to their search.

  3. Corpus name
    The name of the collection that the document belongs to. This helps users identify the source of the document.

  4. Document size
    The number of tokens (words or word-like units) in the document. A handy detail for understanding the document's length.

  5. Year
    The year the document was created, based on metadata. Note: Some documents may not have year information if it’s missing in the metadata.

  6. Related documents
    A button that opens a tab right beside the Maps section. This tab displays the top 50 other documents in the collection that are semantically close to the current document. Perfect for exploring similar content!

  7. Link
    Some collections provide a link to the source of the document. If a URL is available in the metadata, it will be displayed here for easy access.
