Information retrieval of more than text

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1991, vol. 42, issue 8, 586-588

Abstract: Information retrieval has been primarily concerned with text and text‐like data. Image‐handling reminds us that information retrieval should have a broader scope, and it did in the neglected work of European pioneers such as Paul Otlet and Suzanne Briet. The terminology of “multimedia” needs attention to distinguish phenomena, facts, representations, forms of expression, and physical medium. © 1991 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
