Nj. Belkin et al., BRAQUE - DESIGN OF AN INTERFACE TO SUPPORT USER INTERACTION IN INFORMATION-RETRIEVAL, Information processing & management, 29(3), 1993, pp. 325-344
We suggest that information retrieval is most appropriately considered
as an inherently interactive process, and describe the design of an i
nterface to a bibliographic information retrieval system that supports
user interaction in an integrated fashion. A significant aspect of th
e interface design is its dependence upon a two-level hypertext model
of information retrieval system databases, and the seamless support of
a variety of information seeking strategies through the use of this m
odel, and of a model of dimensions of information seeking behaviors.
