Reference Retrieval Based On User Induced Dynamic Clustering., Robert N. Oddy

The problem of mechanically retrieving references to documents, as a first step to fulfilling the information need of a researcher, is tackled through the design of an interactive computer program. A view of reference retrieval is presented which embraces the browsing activity. In fact, browsing is considered important and regarded as ubiquitous. Thus, for successful retrieval (in many circumstances), a device which permits conversation is needed. Approaches to automatic (delegated) retrieval are surveyed, as are on-line systems which support interaction. This type of interaction usually consists of iteration, under the user's control, in the query formulation process. A program has …
