# Docs: compound ecosystem and integrations
**Problem statement:** We have a big overlap between the
References/Integrations and Ecosystem/LongChain Ecosystem pages. It
confuses users. It creates a situation when new integration is added
only on one of these pages, which creates even more confusion.
- removed References/Integrations page (but move all its information
into the individual integration pages - in the next PR).
- renamed Ecosystem/LongChain Ecosystem into Integrations/Integrations.
I like the Ecosystem term. It is more generic and semantically richer
than the Integration term. But it mentally overloads users. The
`integration` term is more concrete.
UPDATE: after discussion, the Ecosystem is the term.
Ecosystem/Integrations is the page (in place of Ecosystem/LongChain
Ecosystem).
As a result, a user gets a single place to start with the individual
integration.
# Docs: improvements in the `retrievers/examples/` notebooks
Its primary purpose is to make the Jupyter notebook examples
**consistent** and more suitable for first-time viewers.
- add links to the integration source (if applicable) with a short
description of this source;
- removed `_retriever` suffix from the file names (where it existed) for
consistency;
- removed ` retriever` from the notebook title (where it existed) for
consistency;
- added code to install necessary Python package(s);
- added code to set up the necessary API Key.
- very small fixes in notebooks from other folders (for consistency):
- docs/modules/indexes/vectorstores/examples/elasticsearch.ipynb
- docs/modules/indexes/vectorstores/examples/pinecone.ipynb
- docs/modules/models/llms/integrations/cohere.ipynb
- fixed misspelling in langchain/retrievers/time_weighted_retriever.py

Now it is hard to search for the integration points between
data_loaders, retrievers, tools, etc.
I've placed links to all groups of providers and integrations on the
`ecosystem` page.
So, it is easy to navigate between all integrations from a single
location.
Big docs refactor! Motivation is to make it easier for people to find
resources they are looking for. To accomplish this, there are now three
main sections:
- Getting Started: steps for getting started, walking through most core
functionality
- Modules: these are different modules of functionality that langchain
provides. Each part here has a "getting started", "how to", "key
concepts" and "reference" section (except in a few select cases where it
didnt easily fit).
- Use Cases: this is to separate use cases (like summarization, question
answering, evaluation, etc) from the modules, and provide a different
entry point to the code base.
There is also a full reference section, as well as extra resources
(glossary, gallery, etc)
