Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate how significantly domain-dependent predictors contribute to determining file importance. A predictor is a piece of information associated with the file under consideration collected and used to determine file importance. Using the approach described in Rawlings (1988), domain-dependent predictors seem to contribute more significantly than those domain-independent predictors. This has been manifested by the observation that those predictors dominant in the canonical models (e.g. linear weighting model) may no longer be so once the domain-dependent predictors are included in the models. The observation suggests that the domain-dependent approach may be more favorably adopted by the subjects in this study than the canonical approach in determining file importance.
