Abstract

Describes the development of a methods for the evaluation and comparison of interactive information retrieval systems. The method is based on the introduction of the concept of a 'simulated work task situation' or scenario and the involvement of real end users as test persons. The relevance assessments are made with reference to the concepts of situational as well as topic relevance, assessed in a non binary way and calculated as precision. The method is further based on a mixture of simulated and real information needs, and involves also assessments made by individual panel memebers

Abstract

Reports investigations into the feasibility and reliability of calculating impact factors for web sites, called Web Impact Factors (Web-IF). analyzes a selection of 7 small and medium scale national and 4 large web domains as well as 6 institutional web sites over a series of snapshots taken of the web during a month. Describes the data isolation and calculation methods and discusses the tests. The results thus far demonstrate that Web-IFs are calculable with high confidence for national and sector domains whilst institutional Web-IFs should be approached with caution

Abstract

Outlines the principles underlying the theory of polyrepresentation applied to the user's cognitive space and the information space of information retrieval systems, set in a cognitive framework. Uses polyrepresentation to represent the current user's information needs, problem states, and domain work tasks or interests in a structure of causality, as well as to embody semantic full text entities by means of the principle of 'intentional redundancy'

Abstract

Investigates the possibilities and limitations of online citation analysis. The Dialog online processing tools RANK, MAP and TARGET are used to perform analysis of citations to and from isolated sets of documents as well as to carry out diachrone journal analysis. Discusses the implications of this analysis on the journal impact factors of ISI journals. Suggests that by the combined application of RANK and TARGET, a hitherto overlooked possibility of the online analysis of bibliographic coupling and mapping of scientific fields has been revealed

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to amalgamate theories of text retrieval from various research traditions into a cognitive theory for information retrieval interaction. Set in a cognitive framework, the paper outlines the concept of polyrepresentation applied to both the user's cognitive space and the information space of IR systems. The concept seeks to represent the current user's information need, problem state, and domain work task or interest in a structure of causality. Further, it implies that we should apply different methods of representation and a variety of IR techniques of different cognitive and functional origin simultaneously to each semantic full-text entity in the information space. The cognitive differences imply that by applying cognitive overlaps of information objects, originating from different interprestations of such objects through time and by type, the degree of uncertainty inherent in IR is decreased. ... The lack of consistency among authors, indexers, evaluators or users is of an identical cognitive nature. It is unavoidable, and indeed favourable to IR. In particular, for full-text retrieval, alternative semantic entities, including Salton 'et al.'s' 'passage retrieval', are proposed to replace the traditional document record as the basic retrieval entity. These empirically observed phenomena of inconsistency and of semantic entities and values associated with data interpretation support strongly a cognitive approach to IR and the logical use of olypresentation, cognitive overlaps, and both data fusion and data diffusion

Abstract

Introduces the application of informetric methods to the WWW, called Webometrics. A case study, in which the Danish proportion of the WWW is compared to those of other Nordic countries, presents a workable methods for general informetrc analyses of the WWW. The methodological approach is comparable with common bibliometric analyses of the ISI databases. Among other results the analyses demonstrate that Denmark would seem to fail seriously behind the other Nordic countries with respect to visibility on the Net and compared to its position in scientific databases

Abstract

The paper presents the principles underlying the cognitive framework for Information Retrieval (IR). It introduces the concept of polyrepresentation applied simultaneously to the user's cognitive space and the information space of IR systems. The concept seeks to represent the current user's information need, problem state, and domain work task or interest in a structure of causality. Further, it suggests to apply different methods of representation and a variety of IR techniques of 'different cognitive and functional origin' simultaneously to each information object in the information space. The cognitive differences between such representations imply that by applying 'cognitive retrieval overlaps' of information objects, originating from different interpretations of such objects over time and by type, the degree of uncertainty inherent in IR is decreased and the intellectual access possibilities are increased. One consequence of the framework is its capability to elucidate the seemingly dubious assumptions underlying the predominant algorithmic retrieval models, such as, the vector space and probabilistic models

Abstract

This paper provides an over-view of 2, complementary approaches to the design and implementation of information retrieval systems. The first approach focuses on the algorithms and data structures that are needed to maximise the effectiveness and the efficiency of the searches that can be carried out on text databases, while the second adopts a cognitive approach that focuses on the role of the user and of the knowledge sources involved in information retrieval. The paper argues for an holistic view of information retrieval that is capable of encompassing both of these approaches

Abstract

This paper analyzes the conceptual background of the two-year MSC programme in Information Science and Management offered by the Royal School of Librarianship, Denmark, on top of the traditional course in Librarianship. The present state of library and information science (LIS) education is briefly analysed. Within this context, the programme structure and contents are outlined. The conception of information science which forms the background and framework for the programme structure is analysed and discussed. This conception of LIS emphasises a more profound human-driven approach to the domains of the discipline, and views information, technology, people, and the management aspects involved from a global perspective. The anticipated epistemological consequences of the human dimension are challenged. The major experiences gained from developing the Master's programme are analysed and the current syllabus described

Abstract

"Ingwersen defines IR interaction as the interactive communication processes that occur between the use, the intermediary (machine or human) and the IR system (text or database). The cognitive viewpoint takes into account the variety of states of knowledge associated with these major participants and thus allows a holistic treatment."
