- Organisations of all sizes generate and collect masses of
information in the form of text. It is imperative for managers
to be able to control and extract relevant information as quickly
as possible. This book illustrates the significance of text retrieval
applications and the options available for automated text handling.
-
- The authors - who include practising information managers,
academics, consultants and end-users - examine not only hardware
and software systems, but also place text retrieval in its wider
context as one component in the automation jigsaw. Finally, the
hard-won experience of those who have tried and succeeded with
their own text retrieval applications are presented as case studies.
