Modern algebra and information science

Abstract: Mathematical concepts used in modern algebra are useful for modeling aspects of information systems. One such aspect is the syndetic structure employed in information retrieval systems. The equivalence classes of modern algebra can represent the See Also components of traditional library catalogs, while partial orderings and mappings assist in modeling syndetics in more sophisticated systems, such as thesauri. Utilizing the full strength of algebraic techniques should provide improvements to the models suggested in this article.
