New IPC publication platform Agenda: • Introduction: why a new platform? • Modified features • New Features- Search functionality • Demonstration
Why a new platform? User requirements: • Essential features were missing (search) • User feedback based on current platform • implementation of IPC CE 41 simplifications (discontinuation of levels)
Why a new platform? IT governance: • The current platform is based on outdated technology and expensive to maintain • More control for WIPO on one of its IPC business critical applications
Modified features Contextual accessibility features/IPC notions • top part: IPC notions (scheme, RCL,…) • Left part: IPC-notion-dependent options, search features • Definitions and illustrations are now independent windows (unlimited number)
Modified features Display in the scheme: • Versions indicators in the scheme (e.g. G05G 5/03) • only the full IPC (i.e. discontinuation of Advanced level background) for all editions • Display range: limit data transfer to what users want to view
New features More information: • Corrigendum(any concerned IPC notion) • IPC warnings in the scheme • Access to PDF subclasses
New features Behavior: • Update of display on option select • transfer only data to be viewed • URL parameters for all IPC notions displayed • Improved accessibility
New features Search functionalities: • Term search: scheme, definition, catchword • Cross reference search • Hyperlink to NLP search (TACSY) and to text categorization in the IPC (IPCCAT)
New feature: TERM SEARCH For scheme, definition and catchword • Meta characters for queries “?”, “*”) • “PATH” option for the scheme • Include/exclude areas of the IPC • Results: Hyperlinks to concerned IPC places with highlighted term matches
New features: CROSS REFERENCE SEARCH For scheme, definition and catchword: • Return places of the IPC referencing a given symbol • Option: inclusion of subgroups in the search
Demonstration Current status: Prototype for testing • URL: http://www.wipo.int/ipcpub • IPC 2010.01 uploaded and presented as IPC 2011.01 will be. • Some IPC warnings updated • Performance and tuning in progress • Browsers version: IE7+, Firefox 2+ (better performance with Firefox 3)
