Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

The representation problem confronting information retrieval system designers is outlined in terms of three issues: what to represent, forms of representation, and functions of representation. Questions raised by each of these issues are identified and selected research projects which have begun to explore these questions are described.
