Abstract

Knight Rider Information Inc./Dialog is creating standards for full text journal databases, directories and full text reports with the aim of making multiple file searching more efficient. The 1st reloaded file adhering to the new standard was loaded in Feb. 95. This was prompted by the merger of IAC Index and ASAP files. Explains how the reload was carried out and the implications for searchers

Abstract

In this article, the fourth in a series on microcomputer software for information storage and retrieval, test results of six indexing and full-text retrieval programs are presented and various properties and qualities of these programs are discussed. The common faeture of programs in these categories is that they are primarily meant to retrieve words (or combination of them) in large text files. To do this they either simply index existing text files in one or more formats (indexing programs), or they store and index them in their own database format (full-text retrieval programs). The programs reviewed in this issue are the indexing programs Ask-it, Texplore and ZYindex and the full-text retrieval programs KAware, textMaster and WordCruncher. All programs run under MS-DOS. In addition ZYindex has a Windows and a Unix version and TextMaster is also available for for Unix. For each of the six programs almost 100 facts and test results are tabulated. The programs are also discussed individually

Abstract

Homonymy is known to often cause false drops in free text searching in a full text database. The problem is quite common and difficult to avoid in Finnish, but nobody has examined it before. Reports on a study that examined the frequency of, and solutions to, the homonymy problem, based on searches made in a Finnish full text database containing about 55.000 newspaper articles. The results indicate that homonymy is not a very serious problem in full text searching, with only about 1 search result set out of 4 containing false drops caused by homonymy. Several other reasons for nonrelevance were much more common. However, in some set results there were a considerable number of homonymy errors, so the number seems to be very random. A study was also made into whether homonyms can be disambiguated by syntactic analysis. The result was that 75,2% of homonyms were disambiguated by this method. Verb homonyms were considerably easier to disambiguate than substantives. Although homonymy is not a very big problem it could perhaps easily be eliminated if there was a suitable syntactic analyzer in the IR system

Abstract

Examines how, for term based free text retrieval, Interactive Query Expansion (IQE) provides better retrieval performance tahn Automatic Query Expansion (AQE) but the performance of IQE depends on the strategy employed by the user to select expansion terms. The aim is to build an expert query expansion system using term selection rules based on expert users' strategies. It is expected that such a system will achieve better performance for novice or inexperienced users that either AQE or IQE. The procedure is to discover expert IQE users' term selection strategies through observation and interrogation, to construct a rule based query expansion (RQE) system based on these and to compare the resulting retrieval performance with that of comparable AQE and IQE systems

Abstract

Full text management which applied to document management tends to be centred on text storage and retrieval. Recent developments are concerned with integration with relational database management system products to deliver document management services offering both the flexibility of text retrieval and the ability to support process based funnctions. There has been a move towards client server architectures, more user friendly user interfaces and more flexible and easier to understand retrieval. Advocates caution in choosing tasks for full text methods. Identifies document management functions for which the combined use of database management systems or special purpose tools should be considered

Abstract

At Rotterdam Ports Authority in the Netherlands the Habour information database includes a press cuttings service and various online databases. To enable research staff to have direct access to information the POINT (Point Information Net) was begun in 1993. Using Verity software POINT provides simultaneously full text searching on a range of databases. The software uses current Web indexing technqiues to overcome the problems of excessive recall and low precision. A key element is the system's ability to recognise word combinations

Abstract

At Rotterdam Port Authority an information database has been created with approx. 100.000 full text documents online. Topic software has been used to identify word groups and refine search strategies to optimize precision and recall. The software guides users from selected terms to other relevant word combinations. Although the system would benefit from further refinement, users are generally satisfied. The database includes a number of foreign language documents but lacks a thesaurus of foreign terms

Abstract

Verity Search 97 software will index and search e-mail, attachments, folders and documents on local and network disk drives. The Internet may be searched via the same front end and changes to particular documents or pages may be monitored. Documents may be viewed in their native formats including ASCII, HTML, PDF and popular word processors, with highlighted search terms. Agents may be launched into the Internet to retrieve information according to a user-specified profile. The software can index about 700 MB an hour. Describes the search technology which includes fuzzy logic and natural language. The Web version of Personal Search 97 works with Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer, while the Exchange version will work regardless of any attachment to an Exchange server. Search 97 Personal improves online time and access time and allows searches to be refined offline

Abstract

Reports on a comparison of 2 natural language interfaces to full text legal databases: WIN for access to WESTLAW databases and FREESTYLE for access to the LEXIS database. 30 legal issues in natural langugae queries were presented to identical libraries in both systems. The top 20 ranked documents from each search were analyzed and reviewed for relevance to the legal issue
