ObjectRank: A System for Authority-based Search on Databases
Summary: ObjectRank adapts PageRank to databases via a labeled object graph and an authority-transfer graph for citations, authorship, and conferences. It ranks papers and authors by merging authority with a specificity metric (Inverse ObjectRank) to yield relevant, authoritative results; demonstrated on DBLP with a demo.
