Can you all recommend any other books on information retrieval? I was looking at Amazon last night, and I found a few that looked interesting, I'm just the type of guy that has to "leaf through" before I buy the damn thing. I guess I just need to find a good tech book store around here...
"Modern Information Retrieval" by Ricardo Baeza-Yates and Berthier Ribeiro-Neto is pretty good too. Covers much more than just indexing (eg. user interfaces, languages, evaluation of effectiveness, distributed IR, Digital Libraries etc). If you are a member of the ACM there is lots of IR stuff in their digital library. Also the New Zealand Digital Library (www.nzdl.org) has some good links on it (the site can be quite slow at times)
I think my first real proposal of any significance will be to replace the catalog with a truely industrial strength indexing bohemoth, that can be plugged into this whole "component arch." thingamawhammy.
BTW: I still wanna chat some time about this, I just need to decide when, perhaps late next week...
I've normally got a window open on #zope most of the day (GMT), my nick is HammerToe (long story, that is not as interesting or painful as it sounds, and involves neither a hammer nor a toe). You might need to /msg me or beep me to get my attention :) -Matt -- Matt Hamilton matth@netsight.co.uk Netsight Internet Solutions, Ltd.
