    Abstract
    We report data fusion experiments carried out on the four best-performing retrieval models from TREC 5. Three were conceptually/algorithmically very different from one another; one was algorithmically similar to one of the former. The objective of the test was to observe the performance of the 11 logical data fusion combinations compared to the performance of the four individual models and their intermediate fusions when following the principle of polyrepresentation. This principle is based on cognitive IR perspective (Ingwersen & Järvelin, 2005) and implies that each retrieval model is regarded as a representation of a unique interpretation of information retrieval (IR). It predicts that only fusions of very different, but equally good, IR models may outperform each constituent as well as their intermediate fusions. Two kinds of experiments were carried out. One tested restricted fusions, which entails that only the inner disjoint overlap documents between fused models are ranked. The second set of experiments was based on traditional data fusion methods. The experiments involved the 30 TREC 5 topics that contain more than 44 relevant documents. In all tests, the Borda and CombSUM scoring methods were used. Performance was measured by precision and recall, with document cutoff values (DCVs) at 100 and 15 documents, respectively. Results show that restricted fusions made of two, three, or four cognitively/algorithmically very different retrieval models perform significantly better than do the individual models at DCV100. At DCV15, however, the results of polyrepresentative fusion were less predictable. The traditional fusion method based on polyrepresentation principles demonstrates a clear picture of performance at both DCV levels and verifies the polyrepresentation predictions for data fusion in IR. Data fusion improves retrieval performance over their constituent IR models only if the models all are quite conceptually/algorithmically dissimilar and equally and well performing, in that order of importance.

    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
    In this article, we define webometrics within the framework of informetric studies and bibliometrics, as belonging to library and information science, and as associated with cybermetrics as a generic subfield. We develop a consistent and detailed link typology and terminology and make explicit the distinction among different Web node levels when using the proposed conceptual framework. As a consequence, we propose a novel diagram notation to fully appreciate and investigate link structures between Web nodes in webometric analyses. We warn against taking the analogy between citation analyses and link analyses too far.

    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
