Specifies that this element is to be used to
help rank
records against the user's query (when ranking is
- requested). The value is an integer, used as a
- multiplier against the basic TF*IDF score. A value of
- 1 is the base, higher values give additional
- weight to
+ requested).
+ The valus is of the form
+ <literallayout>
+ M [F N]
+ </literallayout>
+ where M is an integer, used as a
+ weight against the basic TF*IDF score. A value of
+ 1 is the base, higher values give additional weight to
elements of this type. The default is '0', which
excludes this element from the rank calculation.
</para>
<para>
+ F is a CCL field and N is the multipler for terms
+ that matches those part of the CCL field in search.
+ The F+N combo allows the system to use a different
+ multipler for a certain field. For example, a rank value of
+ "<literal>1 au 3</literal>" gives a multipler of 3 for
+ all terms part of the au(thor) terms and 1 for everything else.

For Pazpar2 1.6.13 and later, the rank may also defined
"per-document", by the normalization stylesheet.
</para>
+ <para>
+ The per field rank was introduced in Pazpar2 1.6.15. Earlier
+ releases only allowed a rank value M (simple integer).

+ <term>cluster</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Attribute 'cluster' is a boolean
+ that controls whether Pazpar2 should boost ranking for merged
+ records. Is 'yes' by default. A value of 'no' will make
+ Pazpar2 average ranking of each record in a cluster.

+ <term>debug</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Attribute 'debug' is a boolean

+ about ranking for each document in the show command's
+ response. Enable by using value "yes", disable by using
+ value "no" (default).

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>follow</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Attribute 'follow' is a a floating point number greater than
+ or equal to 0. A positive number will boost weight for terms
+ that occur close to each other (proximity, distance).
+ A value of 1, will double the weight if two terms are in
+ proximity distance of 1 (next to each other). The default
+ value of 'follow' is 0 (order will not affect weight).

+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>lead</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Attribute 'lead' is a floating point number.
+ It controls if term weight should be reduced by position
+ from start in a metadata field. A positive value of 'lead'
+ will reduce weight as it apperas further away from the lead
+ of the field. Default value is 0 (no reduction of weight by
+ position).
+ </para>

+ <term>length</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Attribute 'length' determines how/if term weight should be
+ divided by lenght of metadata field. A value of "linear"
+ divide by length. A value of "log" will divide by log2(length).
+ A value of "none" will leave term weight as is (no division).
+ Default value is "linear".
