The Descriptive Challenges of Fiber Art.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lunin, Lois F. – Library Trends, 1990
A definition of fiber art, its history, materials and techniques, vocabularies, and creators and users of those vocabularies offer background for understanding the problems in preparing surrogates of this relatively recent art form for text and image databases. Four examples of fiber image information systems are described. (32 references) (EAM)

Concept-Based Retrieval of Hypermedia Information: From Term Indexing to Semantic Hyperindexing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Arents, Hans C.; Bogaerts, Walter F. L. – Information Processing and Management, 1993
Discusses and examines two approaches to concept-based retrieval of hypermedia information that improve a user's ability to navigate large systems--term indexing with semantically coupled thesauri and semantic hyperindexing. Visualization of index structures is discussed, and an example, the Cube of Contents retrieval model for the "Active…

Querying a Hypertext Information Retrieval System by the Use of Classification.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aboud, M.; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1993
Presents an information systems navigation approach using a combination of functionalities encountered in classification processes, Hypertext systems, and information retrieval systems. The first version of the SYRIUS system is described, with emphasis on the user's graphic interface which integrates these functionalities. (26 references) (EA)

Retrieval Hierarchies in Hypertext.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rada, Roy; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1993
Describes a collaborative, reuse hypertext system, called MUCH (Many Using and Creating Hypertext). The novel browsing and retrieval characteristics of the system are based on a semantic net connecting documents, thesauri, and discussions. Word patterns are documented for reuse, creating and reorganizing network traversal according to user…
