A Workshop on Qualitative Information Retrieval, November 18-20, 1980,
Abstract
Work in the Office of Administration of the Carter White House on the development of a non-intermediated information retrieval system led to consideration of the problem of information retrieval when controlled vocabulary fails. Discussion of that problem let to the development of a typology of such failures and to an examination of methods of resolving the problems. While a detailed discussion of the typology and the methods of resolution is not appropriate at this point, that typology was presented as the point of departure for deliberation by the Workshop on Qualitative Information Retrieval, the results of which this report summarizes. It is, therefore, appropriate to review briefly that typology.
