    Abstract
    The human natural ability to store and process images and speech provides clues for improving access to online information. The principles underpinning the maps people use in their minds can be applied to maps that can be presented at the user interface to online systems. Traditional classification organizes information into structured hierarchies and simplifies the search problem, but has serious limitations. Discusses the prospects for improving access to online information through the application of dynamic faceted classification. Presents a glimpse into the navigation of n-dimensional information space for future library OPACs using a modified DDC

    Abstract
    The application of classification schemes and thesauri to improve online information retrieval can be traced back to the beginnings of online searching itself, but the true potential for using knowledge structures in the user interface has yet to be realized. View-based searching seeks to exploit the classified arrangements in thesauri and existing classification schemes to improve the performance of such systems. HIBROWSE for EMBASE is a system which demonstrates the power of applying an approach to information retrieval which is strongly related to faceted classification. It does this by employing a point a click user interface with mutually constraining views utilising knowledge structure hierarchies for both query specification and the presentation of results. The relevance of this approach to library OPACs is discussed in the context of the digital library, concluding that out legacy of research in classification and indexing is more relevant than ever in the design of systems to cope with the problems of information access

    Abstract
    This paper examines issues relating to the use of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) in a future development of view-based searching to Online Public Access Catalogues (OPAC). View-based searching systems, exercising the principles of fully faceted classification techniques for both bibliographic and corporate database retrieval applications, are now being applied to utilise Dewey concept hierarchies in a University OPAC. Issues of efficiency and effectiveness in the evolving organisation and classification of information within libraries are examined to explain why fully faceted classification schemes have yet to realise their full potential in libraries. The key to their application in OPACs lies in the use of faceted classification as pre-coordinated indexing and abandoning the single dimension relative ordering of books on shelves. The need to maintain a single relative physical position on a bookshelf is the major source of complexity in classification. Extensive latent benefits will be realised when systematic subject arrangements, providing alternative views onto OPACs, are coupled to view-based browser and search techniques. Time and effort will be saved, and effectiveness increased, as rapid access is provided to the most appropriate information to satisfy the needs of the user. A future for Dewey Classification divorced from its decimal notation is anticipated

    Describes the coming together of 2 independent user interface softwares for improving access to databases: MenUSE (Menu-based User Search Engine) and HIBROWSE (High Resolution Interface for Database Specific BROWsing and SEarching). MenUSE was developed for searching bibliographic databases whilst HIBROWSE is a front end for searching information stored on structured relational database management systems. Combining these 2 approaches affords users much greater access capabilities than is possible using traditional information retrieval systems. Describes the power of HIBROWSE in the context of EPOQUE (the European Parliament Online QUEry system) and the INSPEC database

    Abstract
    This paper examines the reasons why approaches to facilitate document retrieval which apply AI (Artificial Intelligence) or Expert Systems techniques, relying on so-called "natural language" query statements from the end-user will result in sub-optimal solutions. It does so by reflecting on the nature of language and the fundamental problems in document retrieval. Support is given to the work of thesaurus builders and indexers with illustrations of how their work may be utilised in a generally applicable computer-based document retrieval system using Multilingual MenUSE software. The EuroMenUSE interface providing multilingual document access to EPOQUE, the European Parliament's Online Query System is described.
