Applying Informetric Characteristics of Databases to IR System File Design, Part II: Simulation Comparisons.
Wolfram, Dietmar
Information Processing and Management, v28 n1 p135-51 1992
This second report on a two-part study on the application of informetrics to information retrieval (IR) system design used models of database contents in a factorial simulation study at the University of Western Ontario. The study explored whether different file structures were better suited for different informetric environments. (32 references) (LRW)
