    Abstract
    Describes the evolution and some of the functions of the layers of complex software which lie between the basic formula at the heart of the Okapi information retrieval system and the simple interface which it presents to the user. Addresses some possible approaches to the goal of easy system configurability, a goal which can be at odds with the desire to build a fully integrated package. Considers some of the issues to be faced in moving Okapi to the WWW, client server, distributed processing environment

    Abstract
    We discuss whether it is feasible to build intelligent rule- or weight-based algorithms into general-purpose software for interactive thesaurus navigation. We survey some approaches to the problem reported in the literature, particularly those involving the assignement of 'link weights' in a thesaurus network, and point out some problems of both principle and practice. We then describe investigations which entailed logging the behavior of thesaurus users and testing the effect of thesaurus-based query enhancement in an IR system using term weighting, in an attempt to identify successful strategies to incorporate into automatic procedures. The results cause us to question many of the assumptions made by previous researchers in this area
