Bovey, John D. (1996) Event-based personal retrieval. Journal of Information Science, 22 (5). pp. 357-366. ISSN 0165-5515. (doi:10.1177/016555159602200504) (KAR id:18833)

Abstract

People who work in a research, academic or business environment often have personal information collections which are large enough to need retrieval aids. A major difference between personal information retrieval and normal document retrieval is that the items to be retrieved are often associated with events in the searcher's life and can be retrieved by their relationship to other events as well as by content. This paper describes some of the background to event-based retrieval and then describes a prototype graphical event-based retrieval system.
