Information Retrieval (IR) has concentrated on the development of
information management systems to support user retrieval from large
collections of homogeneous textual material. A variety of
approaches have been tried and tested with varying degrees of
success over many decades of research. Hypertext (HT) systems, on
the other hand, provide a retrieval paradigm based on browsing
through a structured information space, following pre-defined
connections between information fragments until an information need
is satisfied, or appears to be. Information Retrieval and Hypertext
addresses the confluence of the areas of IR and HT and explores the
work done to date in applying techniques from one area, to the
other leading to the development of hypertext information
retrieval' (HIR) systems. An important aspect of the work in IR/HT
and in any user-centred information system is the emergence of
multimedia information and such multimedia information is treated
as an integral information type in this text. The contributed
chapters cover the development of integrated hypertext information
retrieval models, and the application of IR and HT techniques in
hypertext construction and the approaches that can be taken in
searching HIR systems. These chapters are complemented by two
overview chapters covering, respectively, information retrieval and
hypertext research and developments. Information Retrieval and
Hypertext is important as it is the first text to directly address
the combined searching/browsing paradigm of information discovery
which is becoming so important in modern computing environments. It
will be of interest to researchers and professionals working in a
range of areas related to information discovery.
