This page informs users about data logged by Woogle. Data captured during regular operationsTo help identifying missing information in the Wiki, Woogle captures search queries and search result clicks by its users. However, the data logged by Woogle differs from data logged by most other search engines as follows:
Note that this is less data than logged by typical web server software and other search engines. Note that Woogle also allows its users to disable all query/click logging for them in the "Woogle"-Tab on Special:Preferences. This can also be set as a global configuration parameter by the Wiki adminstrator. However, we strongly discourage to disable query/click logging, since it will make core features of Woogle useless. The particular data structures (database table schema) for keeping this log data is documented at Aggquery table (query log) resp. Aggclick table (click log). Data usageThe stored data is currently used for three purposes:
Data captured during scientific evaluation (optional)In general, one has to distinguish between the standard operational deployment of Woogle (described above) and a deployment under scientific observation. During scientific observation, a specific addon has to be installed and configured, which captures addtional data for an evaluation period. See Woogle4MediaWiki/Instrumentation for details. |
