#basesearch — Public Fediverse posts

Nein, kein Spendenlink. #BASEsearch wird von der Universitätsbibliothek #Bielefeld betrieben. Wir sind also steuerfinanziert.

It's not you, it's us. #BASEsearch has been offline since 6 April 2025, 21:30 CEST. It seems to be a hardware issue. Fortunately, we have access to our hardware and are able to fix things. We will be back!

#OERSI is now indexed by #BASEsearch, one of the world's largest search engines for academic web resources:

From the article ''Moreover, considering that Google Scholar has no real competitor, there is a strong case for establishing a freely accessible, non-specialized academic search engine that is not run for commercial reasons but for reasons of public interest.''

There is! Spread the word about #OpenAlex https://openalex.org/ and #BASEsearch https://www.base-search.net/

Full details of our new subject classifier can be found in Christoph Broschinski's Master's thesis: https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:79pbc-opus-25138

#BASEsearch technology update:

We ripped out the #DDC classifier created by Mathias Lösch 12 years ago and replaced it with one created by Christoph Broschinski. It is using #annif, the automated subject indexing toolkit.

DDC classification is what allows users to browse our index by subject area: https://www.base-search.net/Browse/Dewey

Christoph found out that the decision tree based #Omikuji https://github.com/tomtung/omikuji outperformed #ANN-based https://fasttext.cc/ so we are luckily using explainable AI #XAI.

20 years ago today, Bielefeld Academic Search Engine (BASE) went online.

We have grown continually ever since, indexing almost 400 million academic documents from nearly 11,500 sources these days.

The original announcement is still online (in German): https://www.inetbib.de/listenarchiv/msg24765.html

It started like this:

> Can libraries leave the academic Internet to commercial search engines such as Google, Yahoo and soon Microsoft?
> The answer from Bielefeld to this question is clear …

Last night (CET) our academic search engine BASE suffered an outage that lasted for several hours.

We were able able to identify and address the cause of this failure, and BASE is running well again.

#BASE #BASEsearch

Letzte Nacht ist unsere wissenschaftliche Suchmaschine BASE für einige Stunden ausgefallen.

Inzwischen läuft sie wieder stabil. Die Ursache für den Ausfall haben wir identifiziert und behoben.
