Abstract

In this paper, we look at case retrieval systems for product selection. Such systems are interactive. This places demands on the technology: customers must be able to specify their requirements in ways that are meaningful to them; and, the cases that are retrieved must be comprehensible in terms of the customer requirements. To meet these demands, we introduce to case retrieval the notions of similarity metrics with partially-ordered return types and of relations that express indifference between degrees of similarity.
