Within a SenseMaker view, users may choose from a variety of strategies for bundling together results. Views that have bundling enabled provide a high level overview of the result collection. For example, one good bundling strategy in a URL view is to bundle together results located at the same site. A good bundling strategy in a title view is to bundle together results with similar titles. Flexible Duplicate Detection SenseMaker also allows users to choose from a number of high-level duplicate detection strategies.
Users can change the current strategy at any time.
For example, a user trying to get a survey of an area might consider results with identical titles to be duplicates. In contrast, a user trying to see how well indexed a particular item is might consider results with identical titles to be unique items, as long as they come from different search services. Contextually Evolving the Direction of the Search Process SenseMaker is designed to help users progressively and iteratively find information of interest. The belief is that users should be able to use the lessons they have learned in perusing the initial result collection to build upon that collection. Thus, SenseMaker offers users a range of ways to iteratively limit or expand a collection.
