In order to be effective for their users, information retrieval
(IR) systems should be adapted to the specific needs of particular
environments. The huge and growing array of types of information
retrieval systems in use today is on display in Understanding
Information Retrieval Systems: Management, Types, and Standards,
which addresses over 20 types of IR systems. These various system
types, in turn, present both technical and management challenges,
which are also addressed in this volume. In order to be
interoperable in a networked environment, IR systems must be able
to use various types of technical standards, a number of which are
described in this book-often by their original developers. The book
covers the full context of operational IR systems, addressing not
only the systems themselves but also human user search behaviors,
user-centered design, and management and policy issues. In addition
to theory and practice of IR system design, the book covers Web
standards and protocols, the Semantic Web, XML information
retrieval, Web social mining, search engine optimization,
specialized museum and library online access, records compliance
and risk management, information storage technology, geographic
information systems, and data transmission protocols. Emphasis is
given to information systems that operate on relatively
unstructured data, such as text, images, and music. The book is
organized into four parts: Part I supplies a broad-level
introduction to information systems and information retrieval
systems Part II examines key management issues and elaborates on
the decision process around likely information system solutions
Part III illustrates the range of information retrieval systems in
use today discussing the technical, operational, and administrative
issues for each type Part IV discusses the most important
organizational and technical standards needed for successful
information retrieval This volume brings together authoritative
articles on the different types of information systems and how to
manage real-world demands such as digital asset management, network
management, digital content licensing, data quality, and
information system failures. It explains how to design systems to
address human characteristics and considers key policy and ethical
issues such as piracy and preservation. Focusing on web-based
systems, the chapters in this book provide an excellent starting
point for developing and managing your own IR systems.
