An Analysis of Document Retrieval Systems Using a Generalized Model

  • Chapter
Information Systems

Abstract

Several document retrieval systems are analyzed in relation to their relevance to a generalized document retrieval system and in terms of their purposes, strong points, and inadequacies. The generalized model represents a flexible, comprehensive, modular structure of a retrieval system, as opposed to previous models, which generally emphasize only a specific aspect of the retrieval problem.
