Abstract: Machine transliteration is an important problem in an increasingly multilingual world as it plays a critical role in many downstream applications such as machine translation or cross-lingual information retrieval systems. There is now a vast amount of information accessible via the Internet where a lot of regional and cultural information is put on the World Wide Web in different languages and scripts. There are more that six thousand living languages in the world. Adding to the diversity is the fact that some languages are written in different scripts in different regions of the world. The multitude of foreign languages and mutually incomprehensible scripts of the same language pose a barrier to information exchange as we cannot all learn every language or script in use worldwide. Therefore, if we can get around the language barrier or at least the script barrier, we can access much more of the world's culture and can explore its abundant richness.

Traditional database and information retrieval systems have followed a query-based information access paradigm (i.e., information is returned to the user on the basis of a query issued). As a result, users issuing the same query are provided with the same answer. With the advent of the World Wide Web and hand-held electronic devices such as palmtops and cellular phones, information access entered a new era. Increasing amounts of information become available to a growing mass of untrained lay users through various access media. A user searching Web-resident information may have to reformulate queries issued several times and sift through many results until a satisfactory, if any, answer is obtained. As purely query-driven approaches may be inappropriate in this context, the need for a shift towards a more user-centered information access paradigm arises. To this end, different approaches aim to the personalization of the overall user experience at different levels: content selection, content presentation, and user interaction.

Information Retrieval Systems

The advent of the World Wide Web has resulted in the creation of millions of documents containing unstructured, structured and semi-structured data. Consequently, research on structural text mining has come to the forefront of both information retrieval and natural language processing (Cardie, 1997; Freitag, 1998; Hammer, Garcia-Molina, Cho, Aranha, & Crespo, 1997; Hearst, 1992; Hsu & Chang, 1999; Jacquemin & Bush, 2000; Kushmerick, Weld, & Doorenbos, 1997). Knowledge of how information is organized and structured in texts can be of significant assistance to information systems that use documents as their knowledge bases (Appelt, 1999). In particular, such knowledge is of use to information retrieval systems (Salton & McGill, 1983) that retrieve documents in response to user queries and to systems that use texts to construct domain-specific ontologies or thesauri (Ruge, 1997).

AbstractEvaluation of information retrieval systems is a fundamental topic in Library and Information Science. The aim of this paper is to connect the system-oriented and the user-oriented approaches to relevant philosophical schools. By reviewing the related literature, it was found that the evaluation of information retrieval systems is successful if it benefits from both system-oriented and user-oriented approaches (composite). The system-oriented approach is rooted in Parmenides’ philosophy of stability (immovable) which Plato accepts and attributes to the world of forms; the user-oriented approach is rooted in Heraclitus’ flux philosophy (motion) which Plato defers and attributes to the tangible world. Thus, using Plato’s theory is a comprehensive approach for recognizing the concept of relevance. The theoretical and philosophical foundations determine the type of research methods and techniques. Therefore, Plato’s dialectical method is an appropriate composite method for evaluating information retrieval systems.

This article looks at the access to geographic information through a review of information science theory and its application to the WWW. The two most common retrieval systems are information and data retrieval. A retrieval system has seven elements: retrieval models, indexing, match and retrieval, relevance, order, query languages and query specification. The goal of information retrieval is to match the user's needs to the information that is in the system. Retrieval of geographic information is a combination of both information and data retrieval. Aids to effective retrieval of geographic information are: query languages that employ icons and natural language, automatic indexing of geographic information, and standardization of geographic information. One area that has seen an explosion of geographic information retrieval systems (GIR's) is the World Wide Web (WWW). The final section of this article discusses how seven WWW GIR's solve the the problem of matching the user's information needs to the information in the system.

Structural and semantic interoperability have been the focus of digital library research in the early 1990s. Many research works have been done on searching and retrieving objects across variations in protocols, formats, and disciplines. As the World Wide Web has become more popular in the last ten years, information is available in multiple languages in global digital libraries. Users are searching across the language boundary to identify the relevant information that may not be available in their own language. Cross-lingual semantic interoperability has become one of the focuses in digital library research in the late 1990s. In particular, research in cross-lingual information retrieval (CLIR) has been very active in recent conferences on information retrieval, digital libraries, knowledge management, and information systems. The major problem in CLIR is how to build the bridge between the representations of user queries and documents if they are of different languages.

Privacy Issues

This historical review of the birth and evolution of transaction log analysis applied to information retrieval systems provides two perspectives. First, a detailed discussion of the early work in this area, and second, how this work has migrated into the evaluation of World Wide Web usage. The author describes the techniques and studies in the early years and makes suggestions for how that knowledge can be applied to current and future studies. A discussion of privacy issues with a framework for addressing the same is presented as well as an overview of the historical “eras” of transaction log analysis. The author concludes with the suggestion that a combination of transaction log analysis of the type used early in its application along with additional more qualitative approaches will be essential for a deep understanding of user behavior (and needs) with respect to current and future retrieval systems and their design.

The World Wide Web is of strategic importance as a global repository for information and a means of communicating and sharing knowledge. Its explosive growth has caused deep changes in all the aspects of human life, has been a driving force for the development of modern applications (e.g., Web portals, digital libraries, wrapper generators, etc.), and has greatly simplified the access to existing sources of information, ranging from traditional DBMS to semi-structured Web repositories. The adoption by the WWW consortium (W3C) of XML (eXtensible Markup Language) as the new standard for information exchange among Web applications has led researchers to investigate classical problems in the new environment of repositories containing large amounts of data in XML format.

History Of

Extensible Markup Language (XML), which provides a flexible way to define semistructured data, is a de facto standard for information exchange in the World Wide Web. The trend towards storing data in its XML format has meant a rapid growth in XML databases and the need to query them. Indexing plays a key role in improving the execution of a query. In this chapter the authors give a brief history of the creation and the development of the XML data model. They discuss the three main categories of indexes proposed in the literature to handle the XML semistructured data model and provide an evaluation of indexing schemes within these categories. Finally, they discuss limitations and open problems related to the major existing indexing schemes.
