Abstract
The amount of data published openly on the web is increasing
rapidly. Most people either use web search or specialised data
portals, which are repositories of datasets, to search for data. Most
data portals today use similar faceted search interfaces. In this
paper we focus on how a large governmental data portal in the
UK supports users in conducting complex search tasks involving
data. Based on a previous interview study with users of the portal
we constructed a typical complex work task. In this work, we
analyzed how the current system supports users during this task
and subsequently identify problems with the interface. Based on
this we discuss potential research directions to improve interfaces
for complex data related search tasks.
