Client-Server Database Structure and Indexing Techniques. Full-Text Retrieval Enhanced Searching and Browsing Capability of SGML Documents. Database Structure for Full-Text Searching and Browsing. Links between Controlled Vocabulary and SGML Documents. No prescriptive models for an optimum interface design.
Database design is key for effective retrieval.
Test interface on real users. Focus on iterative design cycle, relying on rapid prototyping. Full Text Searching Studies have compared full text retrieval with titles, abstracts and controlled vocabularies. Evaluative studies on the effectiveness of full text retrieval argue for sophisticated search techniques. Current thinking concludes that bibliographic information retrieval systems should allow both natural- language and controlled vocabulary searching.
