Abstract

In this paper we look at some of the problems in interacting withbest-match retrieval systems. In particular, we examine the areas ofinteraction, some investigations of the complexity and breadth ofinteraction and attempts to categorise user's information seekingbehaviour. We suggest that one of the difficulties of traditional IRsystems in supporting information seeking is the way the informationcontent of documents is represented. We discuss an alternativerepresentation, based on how information is used withindocuments.
