Abstract

The problem of searching the web by using small devices such as PDA is a subject of research pursued by academics but is also an important concern from industry. Here we suggest that document genre may contribute to the reduction of processing and memory burden when searching information on an Intranet. Document genre may also contribute to ease the access to information. It is in this context that we analyzed in what extent document genres are employed by users to describe digital resources, in order to be displayed in small display device. Based in the results of our research, we also propose a new architecture for an information system
