Interfaces to support Collaboration in Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interfaces to information retrieval (IR) systems increasingly support progressive interactive search formulation and refinement. Part of their aim is to make information retrieval easier for the end user without the need for (or with minimal support from) an information intermediary. One approach to supporting these activities has been to design ‘intelligent’ interfaces that embody some of the knowledge and functions of a human intermediary (e.g. [Belkin and Marchetti, 1990]). An alternative, complementary, approach is to build an interface that actively supports interaction with an intermediary or other user: expanding the ‘interactive’ nature of the IR system to include other human resources [Hoppe and Zhao, 1994; Twidale et al, 1995].
