Abstract

This paper describes the current state of our system for structured retrieval. The system itself is based on an extension of the vector space model initially proposed by Fox [5]. The basic functions are performed using the Smart experimental retrieval system [11]. The major advance achieved this year is the inclusion of a flexible capability, which allows the system to retrieve at a desired level of granularity (i.e., at the element level). The quality of the resultant statistics is largely dependent on issues (in particular, ranking) which have yet to be resolved.
