A logic basis for information retrieval

摘要

This paper examines the potential of recent work in artificial intelligence for the development of more effective information retrieval systems. The primary task in this research has been to examine and define the role of an expert system in the domain of bibliographic retrieval. Once such a goal can be described the available knowledge representations and techniques can be evaluated. This paper examines the role of an expert bibliographic retrieval system, examines an artificial intelligence view of information retrieval, and then describes a prototype expert information retrieval system that has been designed and implemented.
