All information is produced in response to explicit or implicit questions.
The first step in interpreting any kind of information is recognizing the questions that stand behind what you want to understand. Consider the following citation examples, all related to multiculturalism in society. First, look at the brief citations for the nine articles. With what you know so far about them, it is impossible, however, to determine if the articles are otherwise related. After looking at the brief citations, you will look at the full citations and try to reconstruct questions to which the articles might respond.
