Information Studies 277 -- Information Retrieval Systems: User-Centered Designs Phil Agre Office: 229 GSE&IS Building Phone: (310) 825-7154 Email: pagre@ucla.edu Home: Fall 2007 Wednesdays from 9am to 12:30pm, GSE&IS room 245 This is a course on the semantic web, an important new document-centered computing technology in which web pages and other online resources are provided with metadata that can be automatically processed by computers. The course prerequisites are IS 245 (Information Access) and IS 260 (Information Structures). The course complements several other courses in the program, including IS 240 (Management of Digital Records), IS 270 (Introduction to Information Technology), IS 272 (Human/Computer Interaction), IS 274 (Database Management Systems), IS 276 (Information Retrieval Systems: Structures and Algorithms), and IS 464 (Metadata).
The main idea of the semantic web is machine-readable ontology standards. Week 1. Week 2. Week 3. Information retrieval. Information retrieval is the activity of obtaining information resources relevant to an information need from a collection of information resources. Searches can be based on metadata or on full-text (or other content-based) indexing. Automated information retrieval systems are used to reduce what has been called "information overload". Many universities and public libraries use IR systems to provide access to books, journals and other documents.
Web search engines are the most visible IR applications. Overview[edit] An information retrieval process begins when a user enters a query into the system. An object is an entity that is represented by information in a database. Most IR systems compute a numeric score on how well each object in the database matches the query, and rank the objects according to this value. History[edit] Model types[edit] For effectively retrieving relevant documents by IR strategies, the documents are typically transformed into a suitable representation.
