ICSTI跨学科搜索小组的使命是确定和描述跨学科搜索的问题，并提出补救措施和解决办法，为此，ICSTI跨学科搜索小组通过向数据库建设者、在线系统供应商、搜索中介机构和最终用户发出的调查问卷收集了相关信息;分析和组织了这些投入;并提交了一份报告。该报告讨论了六个不同类别的问题：数据库的覆盖范围和技术内容;书目信息;文本内容;数字数据;文件组织以及多个主机上的跨学科搜索。在每个类别下，首先以一般方式列出问题，然后更详细地描述问题。列举了许多具体的例子，并在可行的情况下解释了发生这些情况的原因。对于每一类别，都列出了可能的补救措施和解决办法。已经提出的最基本的建议涉及在建立数据库和组织访问数据库的每个阶段都需要更大的标准化。已经确定了一些致力于国际和国家标准以及解决问题的其他具体方面的机构和团体。密切合作、交换良好的文件、广泛的培训和相互理解的必要性是最明显的。
In response to its mission of identifying and describing problems of interdisciplinary searching, and of proposing remedies and solutions, the ICSTI Group on Interdisciplinary Searching gathered the relevant information through a questionnaire addressed to the database builders, online system vendors, search intermediaries and end users; analysed and organised the input; and presented a report. The report discusses the problems within six distinct categories: coverage and technical content of the database; bibliographic information; textual content; numeric data; file organisation, and interdisciplinary searching on multiple hosts. Under each category, problems are first listed in a generic way and then described in greater detail. Numerous specific examples are given with explanations, whenever feasible, of the reasons for their occurrence. For each category, possible remedies and solutions are listed. The most essential recommendations that have emerged deal with the need for greater standardisation at every stage in building the databases and in organising access to them. A number of bodies and groups working on international and national standards, and on solving other specific aspects of the problems, have been identified. The needs for close co‐operation, exchange of good documentation, extensive training and mutual understanding are most evident.
