....generated representations . Indexer domain expertise . Searcher generated representations Each of these produces different forms of structure that can be used in Information Retrieval (IR) In a computerised IR system the searcher generated representations are reflected in the usage data. [Koenig, 1990] mentions several approaches that exploit searcher generated representations, such as the or group thesaurus [Reisner, 1966] Query based usage data is recorded so that keywords that have been or ed together by previous searchers can be suggested as synonyms to later searchers. Transaction ....

....Web browser bookmark files are shared and structured to create a social browsing space for a work group. Only those Web sites which the user has adopted (by inclusion in a bookmark list) are considered, and GAB does not explicitly include a clustering approach; rather it merges users bookmarks. [Koenig, 1990] mentions several approaches that are similar in intention to usage based recommendation, such as the or group thesaurus [Reisner, 1966] where keywords that have been or ed together by previous searchers are suggested as synonyms. Chalmers, Ingram and Pfranger, 1996] describes several ....

....acquisition stage. This transactional cost is an important factor in the success of a cooperative system (Grudin 1994) however, there are other informational costs to be considered. Most usage information is currently forgotten by database systems an indication of its perceived value (Koenig 1990). Some usage information can be re used anonymously but for any matchmaking purposes searchers identities must be preserved. It is immediately clear that there are serious implications concerning the privacy, security and ownership of information searchers interactions. Privacy and ....

.... and Johnson, 1994) Annotations on documents can be used for a variety of purposes; including facilitating discussions about the content of the documents (Davis Huttenlocher, 1995) Annotations can also be used to provide indications of the authoritativeness of a document, as suggested by (Koenig, 1990). Where such indications are placed on a numerical scale they are known as ratings. Use of Ratings. A rating is an indication of the usefulness, interest or quality of a document as viewed by a user. Ratings may be supplied deliberately by a user (explicit ratings) or may be computed by the ....

....Associate refers to items which are closely connected to those that are examined, e.g. items in the second page of hits which is never reached by the user. The action Query refers to query terms which have been used by searchers and can then be reused by subsequent searchers who use related terms (Koenig, 1990). The collection of these types of implicit data does not pose difficult technological problems: many information access tools could easily be modified to record most of the categories of data in Table 1. In addition, there is a considerable body of research in LIS on the closely related field of ....
