The huge and growing array of types of information retrieval systems in use today is on display in Understanding Information Retrieval Systems: Management  Types  and Standards  which addresses over 20 types of IR systems. These various system types  in turn  present both technical and management challenges  which are also addressed in this volume. In order to be interoperable in a networked environment  IR systems must be able to use various types of technical standards  a number of which are described in this bookoften by their original developers. The book covers the full context of operational IR systems  addressing not only the systems themselves but also human user search behaviors  user-centered design  and management and policy issues. In addition to theory and practice of IR system design  the book covers Web standards and protocols  the Semantic Web  XML information retrieval  Web social mining  search engine optimization  specialized museum and library online access  records compliance and risk management  information storage technology  geographic information systems  and data transmission protocols. Emphasis is given to information systems that operate on relatively unstructured data  such as text  images  and music. The book is organized into four parts: Part I supplies a broad-level introduction to information systems and information retrieval systems Part II examines key management issues and elaborates on the decision process around likely information system solutions Part III illustrates the range of information retrieval systems in use today discussing the technical  operational  and administrative issues for each type Part IV discusses the most important organizational and technical standards needed for successful information retrieval This volume brings together authoritative articles on the different types of information systems and how to manage real-world demands such as digital asset management  network management  digital content licensing  data quality  and information system failures. It explains how to design systems to address human characteristics and considers key policy and ethical issues such as piracy and preservation. Focusing on webbased systems  the chapters in this book provide an excellent starting point for developing and managing your own IR systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67902207557685,"sku":"ByrdShop_1439891966","price":65.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781439891964.jpg?v=1793820836","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/understanding-information-retrieval-systems-management-types-and-standards-9781439891964","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
