Subject formative evaluation
Description Formative evaluation of a prototype thesaurus-based retrieval system investigating user search behaviour in collaboration with the National Museum of Science and Industry and its collections database. The main thesaurus employed in the project is the Getty Art and Architecture Thesaurus. The aim of the evaluation was to analyse the user's interaction with interface elements in order to illuminate problems and inform interface design decisions. Data gathered included transcripts of think-aloud sessions, screen capture movie files, user action logs and observator notes.
