Neal D.R. (ed.) Indexing and Retrieval of Non-Text Information

De Gruyter Saur, 2012. — 440 p.The scope of this volume will encompass a collection of research papers related to the indexing and retrieval of online non-text information. In recent years, the Internet has seen an exponential increase in the number of documents placed online that are not in textual format. These documents appear in a variety of contexts, such as user-generated content-sharing websites, social networking websites, etc. and formats, including photographs, videos, recorded music, data visualizations, etc. The prevalence of these contexts and data formats presents a particularly challenging task to information indexing and retrieval research due to many difficulties, such as assigning suitable semantic metadata, processing and extracting non-textual content automatically and designing retrieval systems that "speak in the native language" of non-text documents.Literature reviews and theoretical frameworks.
