Better Search Applications Through Domain Specific Context Descriptions: a Position Paper

Year: 2010

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: There is a wide agreement that a user centred approach to IR applications design outperforms system centred ones. A classic understanding of this design approach, and specifically of its underlying notion of context, appeared however insufficient to explain the results of a pilot experiment. We recognise the importance of context, but we define context differently by means of a domain theory: a conceptualisation of the domain at hand, preferably developed within the same community which users belong to.
