Dear colleagues,
Please allow us to inform you about a new search interface on
www.ecoi.net, the European Country of Origin Information Network.
ecoi.net collects information on the situation in countries of origin of
asylum seekers with a focus on the needs of asylum lawyers, refugee
counsels and persons deciding on claims for asylum and other forms of
international protection.
Since February 2008, the search engine on ecoi.net automatically
includes English and German synonyms and near synonyms of search terms.
In addition to that, we now introduced a "Moderated Search", which helps
you to narrow down or to broaden your search. Whenever you search for a
word included in the COI Thesaurus, the Moderated Search suggests
broader, narrower and related terms. You can then add these suggestions
to your search terms with a search operator of your choice.
The inclusion of synonyms in two languages and the suggestion of terms
are both based on a Thesaurus specially developed for the context of
country of origin information.
Help us to improve the COI Thesaurus by sending feedback, report errors,
or suggest new terms or relations: [log in to unmask] or www.ecoi.net/contact

Many Thanks to everyone involved in its development!

Our new search help includes a print-out leaflet (PDF) and is available
at: www.ecoi.net/help
If you have further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to
contact us!
