About the Book

The author attempts to examine as comprehensively as possible all aspects of computer-based knowledge retrieval, so that different kinds of system can be compared and the relationships and interactions between the various components and not least the users can be considered properly. The book is intended to be of use to those who are expert in one area of the topic but less informed about others, and who need to be able to understand the jargon used in them. The intention is to go beyond existing systems and explore possibilities for future developments. Much of what is discussed is new; some is very old, but has been recast to show how older techniques apply to and might enhance the usefulness of recent technology. The study opens with an analysis of user-related questions recognizing that the variety in their knowledge, experience and skills produces variations in information behaviour in response to needs. The next chapter examines how a database is organized and searched, and the software component which creates and maintains searchable files. Chapter 4 looks at the language used to represent the content, meaning and significance of the data in the knowledge base and the needs of enquirers. Chapter 5 deals with expert systems and artificial intelligence which the author maintains are relevant in their own right as a kind of retrieval system. Chapter 6 examines how database management systems differ in intended use and therefore in structure from information retrieval systems narrowly defined. Chapter 7 is about the hardware and looks at how recent developments in this area will have effects on the practice and commercial exploitation of information retrieval. Chapter 8 on user interfaces draws together many of the elements in previous chapters. Chapters 9 and 10 deal with the criteria for evaluating retrieval systems and their various components and returns to the theme of language and vocabulary. The final chapter discusses desiderata for ideal systems and the steps needed to create them.
