V. Plans

Wolfram, D. Information Retrieval System Content Analysis through Visualization – These projects are examining the influence of index term distributions and indexing exhaustivity on term and document inter-relationships using visualization techniques (with J. Zhang, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee).

Wolfram, D. Informetric Modeling of Web Phenomena – These studies are investigating empirical regularities of electronic document content and usage.  Mathematical models used in informetric research are being tested against collected data sets to determine best fitting theoretical models for observed phenomena (with I. Ajiferuke, University of Western Ontario).
