Abstract
Vannevar Bush’s 1945 article set a goal of fast access to the contents of the world’s libraries which looks like it will be achieved by 2010, sixty-five years later. Thus, its history is comparable to that of a person. Information retrieval had its schoolboy phase of research in the 1950s and early 1960s; it then struggled for adoption in the 1970s but has, in the 1980s and 1990s, reached acceptance as free-text search systems are used routinely. The tension between statistical and intellectual content analysis seemed to be moving towards purelyg statistical methods; now, on the Web, manual linking is coming back. As we have learned how to handle text, information retrieval is moving on, to projects in sound and image retrieval, along with electronic provision of much of what is now in libraries. We can look forward to completion of Bush’s dream, within a single lifespan.
Though it’s common practice, thinking of information retrieval exclusively as ‘search’ is an arbitrarily narrow way of framing an area of capability with strong impact on overall perceptions of user experience quality and effectiveness. In the long term, it limits opportunities to offer customers more effective solutions to broader and more fully understood needs that involve information retrieval, but are motivated by other goals. This narrow view is especially limiting for the user experience architect, as it implies an immediate focus on the search aspects of information environments.
A better way of framing information retrieval is in terms of opportunities to meet genuine user goals and objectives by supporting more varied modes of activity. Users often have broad goals in mind while they pursue information retrieval activities; buying a car, making a good investment decision, or learning how to manage their health care plans. And yet the information architecture of many environments still overemphasizes searching as a way of accomplishing goals.
Abstract
In this article, an effort is made to take advantage of the inherent semantic wealth existing within Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSHs) in order to provide more efficient subject-based information retrieval in digital libraries. To formally express such wealth, an ontology schema is presented that is capable of modeling the semantics of LCSHs into adequate ontologies. Finally, in order to show the way towards exploiting such ontologies in favor of the development of more effective subject-based information retrieval in digital libraries, a prototype system is presented. The system contains an ontology modeling the LCSHs that are employed within a digital library of theses and dissertations. Serving as a proof of concept, the prototype describes a system capable of making the expressiveness of the underlying ontology readily available to end users while at the same time retaining simplicity and ease-of-use.
A Collection of Information Retrieval Tutorials for IR Students and Search Engine Marketers. Here is a list of IR tutorials. Some include examples, fast tracks, reader’s feedback and reviews or exercises. Follow this link : http://www.miislita.com/information-retrieval-tutorial/information-retrieval-tutorials.html
This is a list of top 10 freely available papers on the topic of information retrieval. You will notice that they are rather old, but the techniques used described and the findings are not always dated. Those that dated are important nonetheless because they provide a good foundation to understanding why things are as they are in information retrieval these days.
