abstract     = {Comparison search is an information seeking task where a user examines individual items or sets of items
 for similarities and differences. While this is a known information need among experts and knowledge workers, appropriate
 tools are not available. In this paper, we discuss comparison search in the cultural heritage domain, a domain characterized
 by large, rich and heterogeneous data sets, where different organizations deploy different schemata and terminologies to
 describe their artifacts. This diversity makes meaningful comparison difficult. We developed a thesaurus-based comparison
 search application called LISA, a tool that allows a user to search, select and compare sets of artifacts. Different visualizations
 allow users to use different comparison strategies to cope with the underlying heterogeneous data and the complexity of
 the search tasks. We conducted two user studies. A preliminary study identifies the problems experts face while performing
 comparison search tasks. A second user study examines the effectiveness of LISA in helping to solve comparison search tasks.
 The main contribution of this paper is to establish design guidelines for the data and interface of a comparison search
 application. Moreover, we offer insights into when thesauri and metadata are appropriate for use in such applications.},
