WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: July 16, 2002 After the Dot-Bomb: Getting Web Information Retrieval Right this Time (First Monday) -- "In the excitement of the "dot-com" rush of the 1990's, many Web sites were developed that provided information retrieval capabilities poorly or sub-optimally. Suggestions are made for improvements in the design of Web information retrieval in seven areas. Classifications, ontologies, indexing vocabularies, statistical properties of databases (including the Bradford Distribution), and staff indexing support systems are all discussed." (Comments: Via Lou Rosenfeld.)

How much of the flop is due to retrieval failure, how much not wanting anything retrieved? It isn't always a navigation/classification problem, but the problem -- once there -- of finding there's no THERE there. Posted by: (the other)JS on July 17, 2002 11:15 AM
