Abstract
The paper gives an overview of characteristics of information retrieval (IR) systems. The characteristics are identified from the descriptions of 23 IR systems. Four IR models are discussed: the Boolean model, the vector model, the probabilistic model and the connectionistic model. Twelve other characteristics of IR models are identified: search intermediary, domain knowledge, relevance feedback, natural language interface, graphical query language, conceptual queries, full-text IR, field searching, fuzzy queries, hypertext integration, machine learning, and ranked output. Finally, the relevance of IR systems for the World Wide Web is established.Mesh:
