摘要

Information access is one of the hottest topics of information society and it has become even more important since the advent of the Web. On one side, our society relies more and more on information, both for professional and personal goals. Information is nowadays considered as one of the most valuable and strategic goods: knowing the right information, at the right moment, as soon as it is available is a 'must' for all of us. On the other side, the amount of available information, especially on the Web, is increasing tremendously over time and we are witnessing an 'information oversupply', a phenomenon called in other different, though significant, ways: 'information overload', 'information glut', 'infobog', 'information smog', 'e-overload' (Alesandrini, 1992; Shenk, 1997). As a result, the process of accessing what is 'relevant' is very difficult, time-consuming, and in many cases practically unfeasible, since it requires huge cognitive processing, which is out of range for our limited mental resources, energy, and time. For these reasons, since the very beginning of the Web, several automatic tools, which are aimed at supporting the user in finding information relevant to his/her information needs, have been proposed and are still currently exploited. Search engines, meta-search engines, and directories are the most popular tools, however they show very limited performance. We all know that search engines are characterized by low accuracy of the retrieval process (an estimated average precision of 30% (Leighton and Srivastava, 1999), incompleteness and low coverage, low timeliness, and bad ranking of results. Such results hinder effectiveness and efficiency of the process characterizing the transfer of information from authors (producers of information) to readers (consumers of information). It can be observed both when we are searching for information because of a specific information need (the so called 'pull perspective') or when information is sent to us with or without our permission (the so called 'push perspective').
