"The aim of this book is to provide a basis for understanding recent developments in the field and to outline directions for information search technologies. The text presents significant contributions to the research community and industry, covering topics such as the semantic search, natural language processing, parallel information retrieval, image and multimedia retrieval, text categorisation, context technology, cross-language retrieval, and mobile information services. The book is a balanced mixture of theory, practice, tools and applications"--Provided by publisher. "This book is an essential reference to cutting-edge issues and future directions in information retrieval Information retrieval (IR) can be defined as the process of representing, managing, searching, retrieving, and presenting information. Good IR involves understanding information needs and interests, developing an effective search technique, system, presentation, distribution and delivery. The increased use of the Web and wider availability of information in this environment led to the development of Web search engines. This change has brought fresh challenges to a wider variety of users' needs, tasks, and types of information. Today, search engines are seen in enterprises, on laptops, in individual websites, in library catalogues, and elsewhere. Information Retrieval: Searching in the 21st Century focuses on core concepts, and current trends in the field. This book focuses on: Information Retrieval Models User-centred Evaluation of Information Retrieval Systems Multimedia Resource Discovery Image Users' Needs and Searching Behaviour Web Information Retrieval Mobile Search Context and Information Retrieval Text Categorisation and Genre in Information Retrieval Semantic Search The Role of Natural Language Processing in Information Retrieval: Search for Meaning and Structure Cross-language Information Retrieval Performance Issues in Parallel Computing for Information Retrieval. This book is an invaluable reference for graduate students on IR courses or courses in related disciplines (e.g. computer science, information science, human-computer interaction, and knowledge management), academic and industrial researchers, and industrial personnel tracking information search technology developments to understand the business implications. Intermediate-advanced level undergraduate students on IR or related courses will also find this text insightful. Chapters are supplemented with exercises to stimulate further thinking"--Provided by publisher.

INFORMATIERECHT - Bescherming van data - Juridisch statuut databanken - Bescherming databanken Europees en internationaal recht - bescherming van data - Dit handboek geeft een praktische kijk op het recht omtrent databanken. De historiek wordt belicht met nadruk op de technologische vooruitgang in de informatica. Zowel het Europese bronnenrecht als het Belgische komen aan bod. Databanken zijn zowel onder het auteursrecht beschermbaar om wille van hun originaliteit als sui generis indien ze de criteria van het auteursrecht niet bereiken. Wat zijn de verschillen en de gevolgen? Databanken staan op het kruispunt van informatie en de uitdrukking van literaire en artistieke ideeen. Vanuit het eerste perspectief is het noodzakelijk om vrije toegang te geven aan informatie die voor deze informatiemaatschappij van levensbelang is. Vanuit het tweede perspectief is de bescherming van de inspanning of investering in het vergaren en uitbrengen van data belangrijk - Inleiding - Definitie structuur en geschiedenis van databank(en) - Bronnen van het databankenrecht - Het recht van databanken: enige begrippen & Databanken en het auteursrecht - Databanken en de sui generis bescherming - Rechtsbescherming van technische voorzieningen en van informatie betreffende het beheer van rechten - Handhaving van de rechten - Strafbepalingen en vorderingen uit het auteursrecht - Bijlagen - Bibliografie - Zaakregister

With the radical changes in information production that the Internet has introduced, we stand at an important moment of transition, says Yochai Benkler in this thought-provoking book. The phenomenon he describes as social production is reshaping markets, while at the same time offering new opportunities to enhance individual freedom, cultural diversity, political discourse, and justice. But these results are by no means inevitable: a systematic campaign to protect the entrenched industrial information economy of the last century threatens the promise of today's emerging networked information environment.In this comprehensive social theory of the Internet and the networked information economy, Benkler describes how patterns of information, knowledge, and cultural production are changing-and shows that the way information and knowledge are made available can either limit or enlarge the ways people can create and express themselves. He describes the range of legal and policy choices that confront us and maintains that there is much to be gained-or lost-by the decisions we make today.
