Properties of a model of distributed homogeneous information retrieval system based on weighted models

摘要

This article describes a mathematical weighted model of a distributed homogeneous information retrieval system based on weighted models. The fundamental properties of the distributed system are given. The inverted file structure is often used to organize data in the information retrieval system. Operations on inverted lists are to be modified in order to use them in the distributed information system. The presented retrieval rules may be viewed as the logical approach in implementing a physical distributed retrieval system.
