  2. Information retrieval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_retrieval

    Information retrieval is the science [1] of searching for information in a document, searching for documents themselves, and also searching for the metadata that describes data, and for databases of texts, images or sounds. Automated information retrieval systems are used to reduce what has been called information overload. An IR system is a ...

  3. Web GIS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_GIS

    This concept allows for data retrieval from any number of different sources, providing consistent data standards are used. This concept allows data transfer with systems not capable of GIS functionality. A key function of OGC standards is the integration of different systems already existing and thus geo-enabling the web.

  4. Automated storage and retrieval system - Wikipedia

    Minilpass, man-on board, and items retrieval systems are used for this second application area. Work in process storage is a more recent application of automated storage technology. While it is desirable to minimize the amount of work in process, WIP is unavoidable and must be effectively managed.

  5. Search engine (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_(computing)

    In computing, a search engine is an information retrieval software system designed to help find information stored on one or more computer systems. Search engines discover, crawl, transform, and store information for retrieval and presentation in response to user queries. The search results are usually presented in a list and are commonly ...

  6. Probabilistic relevance model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilistic_relevance_model

    The probabilistic relevance model [1] [2] was devised by Stephen E. Robertson and Karen Spärck Jones as a framework for probabilistic models to come. It is a formalism of information retrieval useful to derive ranking functions used by search engines and web search engines in order to rank matching documents according to their relevance to a given search query.

  7. Knowledge retrieval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_retrieval

    Knowledge retrieval seeks to return information in a structured form, consistent with human cognitive processes as opposed to simple lists of data items. It draws on a range of fields including epistemology (theory of knowledge), cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, logic and inference, machine learning and knowledge discovery, linguistics, and information technology.

  8. Evaluation measures (information retrieval) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_measures...

    Evaluation measures for an information retrieval (IR) system assess how well an index, search engine, or database returns results from a collection of resources that satisfy a user's query. They are therefore fundamental to the success of information systems and digital platforms.

  9. Automatic indexing - Wikipedia

    This was highlighted by the information explosion, which was predicted in the 1960s [5] and came through the emergence of information technology and the World Wide Web. The prediction was prepared by Mooers where an outline was created with the expected role that computing would have for text processing and information retrieval.
